SHERLOCK’S DAUGHTER FINISH DEBUT ALBUM

The sonic swelter of guitars and gentle finger picked motifs work like seaweed swaying with rhythm and beats. Front-woman Tanya Horo’s chilling but childlike vocals effortlessly trick and tease the melodies, weaving her lyrics and captivating audiences. Compelling the listener to delve further into this weird and wondrous world that brought Sherlock’s Daughter from the wide open spaces of downunder to the concrete jungle of New York. The band’s latest…

Entourage –The Complete Seventh Season (HBO)

After a bumpy couple of seasons, the long-running HBO series finally gets back into its groove with the seventh and second to last season. This season finds actor Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) between movies, hooking up with porn star Sasha Grey (essentially playing herself) and getting addicted to booze and Cocaine.

Low Fi – After All This Time (CD)

“Last Transmission” is the first track on “After All This Time”, and it immediately provides listeners with the perfect blend of emo, rock, and punk music. The nearest thing that I can link Low Fi to is the pre-Metal Blade Goo Goo Dolls. There is a fury and passion that is present with each of the cuts on this EP that will permanently imprint the band onto the minds and…

Homunculus Beer Review

The beer comes out with a very yellow-orange color and an opaqueness that immediately establishes the effort as pretty unique. The whitish-yellow head that pours out added to the slightly astringent nose provide imbibers with a few hints about the beer, but it does take a few solid swigs to get a better appreciation for the beer. There is some sweetness to be had, but it is moderated substantially by…

The Lincoln Lawyer (DVD)

Matthew McConaughey may have just found his ticket out of the romantic comedy ghetto. Lincoln Lawyer, based on the wildly popular Michael Connelly novels, centers around the somewhat sleazy defense attorney Mickey Haller who works out of his Lincoln Continental (get it?). Don’t worry, Haller (played deftly by McConaughey) is a loving dad, gets along great with his ex-wife and has just the right amount of charm to make you…

ER – The Complete Fifteenth Season/The Final Season (DVD)

American TV audiences have a problem saying goodbye… well, let me clarify, American TV show producers have a problem saying goodbye as evidenced by how often they keep the shows on life support long after all of the story lines have been exhausted and the audience has moved on. Though NBC’s ER happens to be a big exception to that rule. By centering the show around a revolving cast of…

Kard Combat: How to turn Magic: The Gathering Into Mortal Kombat (iOS)

Taking a cue from Activision’s popular Mortal Kombat series, HotHead Games has released their effort in the virtual CCG arena entitled Kard Combat. At first blush this just sounds like a vain attempt at stealing some thunder from Mortal Kombat, but I assure you it’s slightly more cheesy than that. A “Kard” according to the in game tutorial is something like a Legend or General in the Magic: The Gathering…

GU Electrolyte Tablets

For what they are, products like Gatorade and Powerade are pricey. However, there were not electrolyte-supplementing products readily available on the market. We were lucky enough to receive some samples of GU Electrolyte Tablets, and believe that they should be how you can cut down on workout-related costs. If each 32 ounce bottle of Gatorade costs around $1.50-$2.00, then a tube of the GU Electrolyte Tablets ($6.50) represent a substantial…

Valkyrie Complete System (Tempest, Torrential Force, and Triumph)

Women can do just as hard of workouts and throw up just as much weight as men in the gym, but it seems that there are not too many products currently on the market that specifically target women that do serious weight training. Next Level Formulations is one of the only companies that I know that has tapped this market, and has done so with their Complete System. This stack…
