MocSock Booties

 Janska / http://www.janska.com / http://www.janska.com/productDetail_warmers_mocSocks.html In the last few weeks, the temperature has dropped. It will only continue to get colder as the year continues to wane. No matter whether a house has heat, the floor will be considerably colder than the ambient air. There are slippers that work to keep feet warm, but they suffer because they are designed for a wide range of sizes. Janska uses fleece for…

The Southland – Influence of Geography (CD)

The slightly-electronic sound of The Southland makes for a mass of tracks that are eminently ready for alt-rock radio, and some even have the hooks necessarily for The Southland to make it even on the relatively closed set that is TRL. “Aftermath” is one of these tracks, which couples a very savvy arrangement with a soulful guitar solo. The Southland’s cover of “I Only Have Eyes For You” transforms the…

Sourvein – Emerald Vulture (CD)

It is not often that the band can work for over a decade and finally get the notice that they deserve, but the highly distorted blackish, brackish sludge of Sourvein provides all aspiring bands with a brief glimmer of hope. “Emerald Vulture”, the band’s first EP on This Dark Reign, finally brings this brutal form of music to a larger audience than any Mardi Gras performances could ever have. Sourvein…

Sound the Alarm – S/T EP (CD)

The band starts off in a tremendously emotive vein of instrumental rock that subsides only a slight bit when the vocals kick in on “Fools and Thieves”. What really will strike listeners first is the interesting arrangements that Sound the Alarm create in tying their listeners down. There are at one time two conflicting elements in Sound the Alarm’s music; first off, there is an insistence by the vocals that…

Nutrabolics SuperFats (Weight Loss)

SuperFats is a product that can provide individuals with the weight loss that they need. The unique formulation of SuperFats is the key reason why it is so effectual. The supplement includes CLA, Sesamin, and Pinolenic Acid. CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) and Sesamin (Sesame Oil) have been shown in the past to drastically increase the amount of fat burnt on a daily basis, but Pinolenic Acid is an interesting addition.…

Hydraulic Power Units

There are a number of hydraulic power units that are available, but they are omnipresent in all sorts of different farm-based corporations. They are the reason that individuals are able to power all of the implements that they have. The sheer amount of power that these machines can put out is much more than a human or animal could put out, and are focused in to a specific area. Pretty…

Keith Williams – New Beginnings (CD)

Keith Williams is an artist that provides an expansive addition to jazz with each track on New Beginnings. The context in which each of these tracks exist is considerably more dense and detailed than much of the fare that is currently popular. I believe that the instrumental arrangements that are encountered during the opening of New Beginnings (in particular, the ending of Fever and the start of Cry Me a…
