As individuals work out, they burn up pretty much everything in their body – the food that they have eaten, their muscles, energy, and even the building blocks known as amino acids. Prolab has created a supplement in their BCAA Plus that should be present in the cabinets of anyone that wishes to take their exercises to the next level. Aside from containing the aforementioned amino acids, the BCAA Plus…
It’s been said before, but needs to be said again: Tom Perrotta knows suburbia. In his previous works (Election, The Abstinence Teacher and Little Children), Perrotta used his unique perspective to tackle the everyday challenges and worries – both real and ridiculous – of his characters that populate the suburbs of America. And nowhere is that done to better effect than his latest novel The Leftovers. Absolutely absorbing from the…
The type of music that issues forth during Naked Truth’s Shikaru is incredibly interesting, even more so considering the breakdown of the members. Both the Pat Methany Group (Cuong Vu) and King Crimson (Pat Mastelotto) are represented, while Roy Powell is the pianist and Lorenzo Feliciati rounds out the act on bass and guitars. What results on Shikaru is a mélange of the different influences and styles that each member…
Glee is a global sensation. It is not surprising that Fox will go all out with their Blu-Ray and DVD releases regarding the show, but I feel that I was completely surprised when we received a copy of Glee: The Complete Second Season. Aside from the season’s episodes, the Glee Music Jukebox will allow viewers to rapidly find their favorite tracks to the show and rock out like it’s no…
Grape is one of the most common vodka flavors and is quite possibly the easiest one to screw up. We reviewed the Pucker Vodka take on Green Apple a couple months ago, and wanted to see how they did on their take of Grape. The great thing about the Pucker Grape Gone Wild is that it contains all sides of grape flavoring, tying together wine and the fruit’s flavor along…
The ease in which Fiery Blue moves across different genres is absolutely amazing; it takes just a few seconds for the act to shift gears and link together country, rock, and even pop music into a cohesive and coherent approach. Our Secret is a title that will give something to everyone, no matter what types of music one fancies themselves to appreciate. Our Secret is one of those special titles…
Go-Getter is the first track on Rock & Roll Freedom Show, and it immediately provides listeners with an intimate look into Gonzales’ life and influences. While Gonzales’ overall style on this introductory track will fit perfectly in with pop and rock radio, I feel that there is a much more complex and nuanced sound that is cultivated on this album. The music that is on Rock & Roll Freedom Show…
The different members of Lithium Seven all bring their own blend of influences and styles to the table, and it is thus not surprising that there is a unique, eclectic style that is created in each of this EP’s five tracks. The album starts out with the eponymous track, which ties a bit of rock to a much more emotive feel. “Last Light” is something that gradually grows and increases…
Most the time that we have reviewed a children’s-focused album, the resulting music was at a level below that of similar releases. Where there has been the rare children’s title that has been able to hang with other similar-genre releases, Jeanie B’s newest album Sugar Buzz easily pops to the top of the heap. Each of the tracks on Sugar Buzz do more than delight with catchy hooks and fun…
I feel that a great number of the microbreweries that are currently in operation make beer that is ultimately forgettable. However, there are a few intrepid breweries that are able to push forward and create unique beers that should be checked out. Yards Brewing Company has done just that in their Philadelphia Pale Ale. There is a nuanced taste to the beer that will be tremendously compelling to those that…
