Callan: Set 2 (DVD Set)

Callan was one of the most popular television series on in Britain in the late sixties and early seventies. It deftly linked together the different spy realms of James Bond with the more mundane cop-lead shows like Dragnet, all while keeping a brisk momentum throughout. This ITV show lasted five series, and Callan Set 2 collects the twelve episodes of series four (the previous black & white episodes have not…

Genghis Tron – Dead Mountain Mouth

Genghis Tron – Dead Mountain Mouth / 2006 Crucial Blast / 10 Tracks / http://www.genghistron.com / http://www.crucialblast.net / Reviewed 05 June 2006 To say that Genghis Tron is intense is to give them the short end of the stick. The band may take a few seconds to start off “Dead Mountain Mouth”, but after they do start, there is a blind fury that fuels all of the tracks on the…

The Fresh & Onlys announce Spring tour dates

When Tim Cohen told Shayde Sartin he was writing a song called “Be My Hooker,” the Fresh & Onlys bassist looked at the singer/guitarist and said… “‘There’s no way we’re gonna have a song with that title, dude,’” explains Sartin. “But sure enough, he laid a riff down and I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, I can’t believe you pulled something meaningful out of such a stupid line.’” Welcome to the…

Jarrod Gorbel (of the Honorary Title) Tours

Gorbel has come full circle this year, stepping out from behind the Honorary Title name and recording two remarkable new discs. His solo sound mines classic soul, traditional folk and Americana, incorporating strings, horns and female backing vocals for a sound more lush and organic than any of his previous work. The Honorary Title began several years ago as the moniker for Gorbel’s solo folk musings, and later evolved into…

Pawn Stars: The Complete Season 1 (DVD)

The concept of Pawn Stars, the History Channel’s latest stab at reality TV, is admittedly yawn-inducing. Set in a family-run pawn shop off the strip in Las Vegas, the show works thanks to the personalities of the shop owners and employees and an interesting collection of items that come into shop. The store is run by the Harrison men, three generation including the cranky, “I’ve seen it all” Navy vet…

Geisha Girls – S/T (CD)

The style of music that Geisha Girls start their album with is something that looks back to the first days of punk rock for influence. Of course, the band adds much more to their sound than being a copy of The Dead Boys, but one can hear 1977 in hints of tracks like “Traced Lines”. The shrill guitar work present on that track is a perfect example, and shows the…
