You’d think with The Simpsons, three offerings from Seth McFarland and every other show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim we’d have enough adult cartoons by now. But HBO’s The Life and Times of Tim shows we have room for at least one more.
Gnarls Barkley – St. Elsewhere / 2006 Downtown / 14 Tracks / http://www.gnarlsbarkley.com / http://www.downtownrecordings.com / Reviewed 16 July 2006 The United Kingdom picks up on bands well before the United States. Case in point is Gnarls Barkley, the collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-lo that was on the top of the charts in the UK for over two months. “Crazy†was the first single and “Smiley Faces†was just…

Plans are also underway for a tour of greater America later this year, most likely this summer; details will be available on that trek shortly. In the meantime VTT will continue playing in and around the Northeastern US, continuing to…
While we have reviewed a number of games over the course of the last two years, Star Trek Online represents the first MMORPG we’ve been tapped to cover. The game itself starts out with a tremendous amount of character customization, allowing players to take on any one of seemingly countless amounts of races. Each of these races, whether it be Breen, Human, Betazoid, or even Klingon (which is unlocked after…

Hellshock – Warlord EP / 2005 Profane Existence / 2 Tracks / http://www.profaneexistence.com / Reviewed 11 October 2005 Two tracks really make it nearly impossible to gauge the sound of a band, and while the two tracks of the Warlord EP (Warlord and Legion) are both of an extend track length (at least for a punk type of sound), this hypothesis still holds water. The music that Hellshock puts down…

Alamo Beer seems to be the perfect blend of larger beer and home-brewed / microbrewed styles. There is an easy drinking taste to it that will appease fans of Budweiser and Samuel Adams like, while there is a smoothness that makes the aftertaste into something like the lightest of porters. When pouring, there is a strong golden color to the beer itself while pouring a very small head, while initial…

Glitter Pals – Unleash The Compassion / 2005 Lovepump United / 4 Tracks / http://www.glitterpals.com / http://www.lpurecords.com / Reviewed 24 September 2005 The tension that starts off “Unleash The Compassion†is so thick that someone could cut it with a night; this is primarily due to the vocals of Mookie, which are paralleled bnicely by the guitar work (also by Mookie) that opens up the second track “Unleash The Compassionâ€.…

Michael Hersch conceived of his most recent epic chamber work, Last Autumn, in two distinct incarnations: for horn and cello, and for alto saxophone and cello, respectively. When the first of these received its world premiere, it generated high critical esteem and “long vigorous applause.†Now New Yorkers have the chance to witness the world premiere of the second – Last Autumn for saxophone and cello, Books 1 & 2…
It is nice to see that Fox is sticking with the placement of subsequent seasons of their most well-remembered shows on DVD in a time when Blu-Ray has rapidly snatched up market share. The sixth season is the penultimate one, as the seventh season will ultimately close things up. All twenty-four episodes of this season are present on three discs, no mean feat considering the fact that the video footage…

Gliss – Love The Virgins / 2006 Mountain Lo-Fi / 12 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/gliss / http://www.tough-cookie.co.uk / Reviewed 25 September 2006 I can’t tell exactly which approach Gliss is trying to take with their “Love The Virginsâ€. During “I Want Youâ€, there is a heavy late nineties approach to things (reminding listeners of acts like Placebo and Stabbing Westward), but the emotional output of the lead singer is something that…
I have to apologize to Ben (Castle) here for reviewing these out of order, but I have to say from the beginning that this is a fun little zine. Badass Peacock and Kizzy are two fictional creations by Ben, and they reside in a fairly realistic interpretation of the world, albeit one with some pretty interesting prose describing it. The richness of the experience that Castle brings to reader is…

A Global Threat – Where The Sun Never Sets / 2006 BYO / 18 Tracks / http://www.aglobalthreat.net / http://www.byorecords.com / Reviewed 16 March 2006 To say that this album sounds different from “What The Fuck Will Change†is a gross understatement. The sound of A Global Threat seems to be a little more mature, and the production value seems to be much more compressed than the last album. In a…
