ScienceNV Feature
ScienceNV has been around since 2005, and are releasing their third album, Last Album Before the End of Time, on April 30th. In the time since their debut effort, 2008’s Really Loud Noises, the act has evolved considerably. I feel that the tracks on Last Album… showcase a more pensive and thoughtful act than was heard on Really Loud Noises or 2010’s Pacific Circumstances. ScienceNV is a band that gets…
China Beach The Complete Series DVD Review
China Beach has long topped lists across the Internet and in countless magazines of the most-requested TV show still not available on DVD, despite being off the air now for more than 20 years. Well, our long national nightmare is finally over. Star Vista has just turned over a massive, 21 DVD collection, boasting all 62 episodes of the critically-lauded show, commentaries, gag reels, a slew of interviews, a 25th anniversary…
Police Precinct Board Game Review
The first time I saw Police Precinct, it was at the tail end of its successful Kickstarter campaign in early 2012. A year later, after exceeding their pledge goal by over $3,000, publishers Common Man Games and Passport Game Studios have released their anticipated game to the public. But does the final product live up to the early promises? Police Precinct casts you and up to five friends as one…

Nothing You Didn’t Deserve showcases…
Superman Unbound Blu-Ray Combo Pack Review
What is continually surprising about the various DC animated features that are released a few times during the year are how close the storylines match up to comic book lore. Superman Unbound is a tale that links together the wider Superman family (Kara), Brainiac and the original power couple – Clark / Lois. The cast is collected from some of the best acting on television today – Matt Bomer…
Ristorante Paradiso Complete Series DVD Review
Ristorante Paradiso is a great addition to the collection of any anime fans that are looking for a slightly different tenor to their show. The show focuses on Nicoletta, a child that was left so that eir mom Olga could marry without any sort of additional familial ties. After finding out about Olga’s restaurant in Rome, Nicoletta makes the journey. What originally was a mission of anger changes into…
David Grubbs Plain Where The Palace Stood CD Review
I Started To Live When My Barber Died is the initial offering on Grubbs’ similarly-named title, and it immediately hits listeners with a frantic and dense arrangement. Grubbs comes off as a more polished Steve Lieberman, a hectic mélange of different elements and styles that will immediately draw attention. Ornamental Hermit is a track that slows things down to provide a complex set of arrangements that are extraordinarily smooth. Grubbs…
Midnight Oil Essential Oils CD Review
U2 may come to mind first when you think of 1980’s political rock bands, but Australia’s Midnight Oil were just as strident about filling their songs with strong political point of views – not exactly the norm in a music decade obsessed with inane lyrics (lest we forget, hair metal was born and raised in the 80’s and killed in the early 90’s). Their biggest hits were about the mistreatment…
The Strap-Ons Geeking Dream CD Review
These guys are a 5 piece band from Norfolk, VA. They began 1996 out as the Pimps, are no strangers to a microphones, as they have released 3 7 inches, I EP, and 1 full length album. To add to this, they also have toured nationwide. I love bands that actually include lyrics sheets, and this album was made in 2000, has twenty five songs, and is on the World…
