Ring of Honor (ROH) – Reckless Abandon

This is the first time that we have had a chance to review a Ring of Honor DVD, but we have been familiar with the promotion for a while now.

The Limit – Reinventing The Sun / 2007 Self / 13 Tracks / http://www.thelimitmusic.com / The style of music that The Limit create on the opening strains of “Reinventing The Sun” is nothing that can easily be categorized.

Starlit Fireball #5

Filler #1 ? Finally, a magazine that really lives up to this title. The “Filler” in the eponymous zine really is of the highest quality, specifically “A Burning Question?” which details a worker from the Lipton Tea Factory?s descent into madness, which was triggered by drinking the enemy, coffee.
