41 (DVD)

  George H.W. Bush is a rare example of a modern United States President that only served one term (Carter represents the other case in the last 50 years). That alone would provide more than enough fuel for viewers to be fascinated throughout this documentary’s runtime, but there is free and unfettered access to the former president himself. The types of topics that are broached during 41 seem to know…

Rage Against the Machine – XX [20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe Box Set] (CD)

I’ve always been a little troubled that little was made of the fact that Rage Against the Machine, a rock band that was known for scathingly anti-corporate lyrics (even heading down to Wall Street for their, well anti-Wall Street rant “Bulls on Parade” video), chose not to turn to an established independent label to release their music, or even take the Ani Di Franco/Fugazi route and start their own label,…

Green Day: The Ultimate Unauthorized History by Alan di Perna (Book)

The timing of Alan di Perna’s bio on Oakland’s favorite pop punks is a little ill-timed. The hardcover coffee table book is well-researched, impressively chronicled and features everything from pics of programs and old tour posters to t-shirts and rare flyers. But the book leaves the Green Day story in early 2012, just as the band is going into the studio to record what would be an ambitious three-album project…

Madness – Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da (CD)

Though the UK ska band Madness may always be trapped in 1982 for many of their U.S. fans, thanks to the wildly popular “Our House,” the two-tone group has continued to build up their resume since reuniting in the early 90’s. Though the success has mainly been limited to Europe (they were tapped to play the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics along with a number of festivals), the…

The Groundhogs – Live At the Astoria (DVD)

Helloween To Release New Album Straight Out Of Hell

Do we really have to worry? Is our civilization standing right on the edge of the abyss? Is the Maya calendar actually right, predicting the end of the world on December 21, 2012? New age circles are convinced that the apocalyptic prophecy can be derived from the Mesoamerican civilization’s calendar. “Complete bullshit”, reckons Andi Deris, singer of German melodic metal band Helloween. “We will all survive the year 2012 and…

Challenger, to see release of The World Is Too Much For Me tomorrow!

Challenger began out of desperation. Desperate to feel better, desperate to escape, desperate for something more. Challenger is that cry. Alone, or together, the cry that sounds like a plea but builds momentum and becomes a force of change, of light, of positivity, of love; a change you can dance to. Additionally – the members are all from Florida (the best state, they agree). John Ross sings, plays guitar, and…

Schreiner

The carpenters that are on a project are the ultimate determiners of whether the product that they are creating is excellent or just merely passable. While a great many individuals will say that carpentry is a dying art, I feel that there are a number of different carpenters that are creating exciting and otherwise otherworldly products with their bare hands. However, I feel that a great many of the chain…

The Expendables 2 (Blu-Ray)

  The Expendables 2 is pound for pound the beefiest action movie that has ever been released, and the crazy action and bigger than life feel translates nicely to the home theater. The Expendables 2 takes the crew of the first Expendables flick (Stallone, Statham, Lo, Lindgren, Couture and Crews) and throws them into a mission of revenge after new recruit (Billy the Kid, played by Liam Hemsworth) is killed.…

Stereotyperider – Prolonging The Inevitable (CD)

  Stereotyperider plays an interesting brand of emo/indie-rock. Their first track on “Prolonging The Inevitable”, moves between rejoicing in odd arrangements at one point to rocking out in true emo-rock style throughout much of “Down As”. Immediately impressive are the guitar solos found on the aforementioned track, which move from sizzling guitar tracks that are slightly sloppy to some of the most impressive angular-technical that the genre has ever seen.…
