Drillbit Taylor focuses on the interaction that three high school kids have with Owen Wilson’s character, a paid type of soldier that looks to make them into real men capable of defending themselves and getting the respect that they deserve. Along the way, there are a number of times where the trio of high schoolers start to wreak revenge on their tormenters, really giving Drillbit Taylor a feel as if…
Mike states, “I always try to save and answer every email I get as a band member. Eventually I began to see that I could just post the answers in an advice blog or column, and well, ask the dude was born.” A little fun, and mostly serious, Mike draws on his thirteen years of touring, recording, (plus a little known degree in Social Work from George Mason University), to…
Finally, we come to Midori Melon Liqueur. Of the three types of spirit reviewed in this panel, the highest interest was toward this Liqueur. The bright green color of Midori reminds individuals of perhaps a sour apple Jolly Rancher, or even Absinthe. The taste of Midori, however, is different than all of that. The alcohol content is similar to that of Zen Green Tea Liqueur – 40 proof, or 20%…
The first thing that I purchased after I turned 21 was a handle of Evan Williams Whiskey and a Black and Mild. Needless to say, I was on a budget at the time, and my tastes were not too terribly cultured. One thing has remained true through the years since that date; I like whiskey. I have tended to gravitate towards the cheaper brands and styles of whiskey (Ten High…
Zen Green Tea Liqueur is an even better of the concoction that I made back in my fraternity days, when I mixed Iced Tea with cheap whiskey. However, there are some key differences between Zen Green Tea Liqueur and that Frankenstein’s creation, in that it literally tastes like Green Tea, while still having a decent enough alcoholic content (40 proof, or 20% alcohol by volume). Green tea leaves are ground…

Keep in mind during this interview that this is a fanzine, and being a fanzine, it has to have a specific topic. This fanzine’s topic is about the local music scene in Worchester, England, as saying that, it does have some interesting interviews and reviews of a bunch of bands that I’ve never heard of. If one was to live around the area, I would highly suggest getting this zine…
Shaya cuts to the chase in a serious way with “Fall Back,” bringing his signature flow to the table alongside a low-key yet highly memorable beat. The opening line, “Hit ’em with that critical hip-hop,” embodies Shaya’s philosophy when it comes to making hip-hop: no excess, no frills, just solid rhymes and beats and music that comes from the heart. Lines such as: “Your boy can rhyme, outta sight outta…
