-In anticipation of, and preparation for, his upcoming recording project, rocker Eddie Money spent the last two days in Nashville engulfed in song pitch meetings with some of Music City’s most prominent song pluggers and publishing groups. With back-to-back meetings, luncheons and dinner dates over a short 48-hour time, Money met with award-winning songwriters, reps and producers who have scored chart-toppers with hitmakers such as Michael McDonald, Keith Urban, Bonnie…
360 Concord Grape Vodka is one of the first vodkas that we have received that looks to go beyond a simple grape designation and move into specific varietals of the fruit. What results in the 360 Concord Grape Vodka is something that is fresh and interesting tasting, all while providing imbibers with the same high quality that has been present in all 360 Vodka efforts. The spirit has a solid…

We’ve had the Premier Protein Shakes on our shelves for a few weeks, largely because our reviewer was a mite bit afraid of the Strawberry flavor. However, ey bravely forged through and was rewarded with one of the best ready-made protein drinks that ey has had as a NeuFutur reviewer. Essentially, all one needs to do to make the Premier Protein Shake possess the best possible taste is just to…
Let’s get Holly’s World out of the way first. With plenty of plastic surgery and a grating voice she heads off to Mecca for those who like to disrobe for strangers: Vegas! The show follows Madison and her dim assistant (even for realty show sidekick standards, she is jaw-droppingly ditzy) in their new city, where Madison has taken up residency at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino where she headlines…
Referred to as indie-roots, punk-Americana, and punk-roots, Portland, Oregon-based outfit Sassparilla may bend and cross genres, but the result is always electrifying, especially on their latest, The Darndest Thing. Comprised of Kevin “Gus” Blackwell (vocals, cigar box guitar, national resonator guitar), the father and son combo of Ross “Dagger” Macdonald (harmonica) and Colin “Sweet Pea” Macdonald (washtub bass), Naima (vocals, accordian, washboard), and Justin Burkhart (drums), Sassparilla offers one of…
I believe that the Pentax Optio RS1500 is a smart buy for anyone save for professional photographers. While there are features like the removable faceplate that will appease the fashion-conscious, I believe that the camera itself contains more than enough functionality to keep it competitive over the course of the next few years. For those that wish to use their camera for multiple functions, the style of video that is…
Portland, Oregon-based singer-songwriter John Amadon is celebrating the release of his third full-length, Seven Stars, a collection of haunting melodies that make good bedfellows with easy-laid beats; an album that finds tight hooks with a from-the-heart lyrical sense that will make you feel as if you personally know the songwriter. Multi-instrumentalist John Amadon is the kind of artist that creates music without any financial support or promotional backing from a…

T Magazine called Portamento “powerful,” while The New York Times wrote,…
Listening to Pink Floyd’s three decade spanning, 14 song catalog, two things are clear; One: they were more than a tad bit pretentious at the beginning. With droning organ solos and album titles like A Saucerful of Secrets and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, you can almost imagine that scene from Spinal Tap with the little people dancing around the replica of Stonehenge actually came from the acid-soaked…

Having a pair of ATH-WS55 headphones is like having a receiver and a sound system all in one. This is due to the extreme care that Audio Technica has taken in creating a balanced effort in this product. While the bass comes through with an assertive thump, the sheer amount of frequencies that can be reproduced ensures that listeners get the entire picture. The slider allows a proper fit, no…
The amount of kung fu and other similar types of action movies that have came out in the last few years is at a number that is much lower than during the genre’s heyday (1960s-1980s). The quality of these films have dipped slightly, but there is a solid flick in Last Kung Fu Monk. Screen Media Films has released this title to United States audiences, which focuses on the trials…

Chicago’s A Lull is nearly impossible to describe without qualifiers. Equal parts mystical and primal, the music crafted by these five multi-instrumentalists gathers the recognizable traits of a half dozen indie micro-genres, tosses out all but the stem cells, then adds the calculated, percussive verve of a half dozen rhythm sections on top of beautifully crafted songwriting to result in a sound that is as unique as it is memorable.…
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…
