Old Spice Deck Scrubber Review

In the last few years, it seemed as if the idea of a pouf or modified loufah has been more and more accepted in the traditional male grooming category. Axe came out with their own brand, and soon after, Old Spice looked to capture lightning in a bottle with their “Deck Scrubber”. We had a month or two to rigorously test it out, so here are our thoughts about it.

Hit The Switch – Domestic Tranquility & Social Justice (CD)

Hit The Switch – Domestic Tranquility & Social Justice / 2006 Nitro / 12 Tracks / http://www.hittheswitch.net / http://www.nitrorecords.com / Reviewed 08 August 2006 Hit The Switch sounds a lot like Anti-Flag when it comes down to it. Of course, the vocalist does not sound exactly like Justin Sane, but there is enough in common with both bands to make an extended comparison. It is especially present (during tracks like…

Sync-Ball Review (iPhone Game)

After playing the recent March release from Tozai Inc. titled “Sync-Ball”, I was harkened back to the days of yesteryear when I was standing, mostly out of frustration, in my friends living room trying madly to play “Marble Madness”. I spent a good portion of my child hood in that living room trying to beat down puzzle games on that old 8-bit system that we all knew and loved. This…

Hi Red Center – Architectural Failures (CD)

Hi Red Center – Architectural Failures / 2006 Pangea / 10 Tracks / http://www.hiredcenter.com / http://www.pangaearecordings.com / Reviewed 26 April 2006 Hi Red Center start off their “Architectural Failures” in a way that I’ve never heard a band start a disc. A high amount of electronic fuzz mixes with a lo-fi type of sound, only to have that amalgamation take on a much more noise-influenced sound. What results is something…

Gold: 40th Anniversary Edition (DVD)

I like odd and challenging movies. Hell, one of my favorite movies is Salo: 120 Days of Sodom. I was excited to receive a copy of Gold from Wild Eye Releasing, representing a title that has been viewed by such a small segment of individuals that it feels lke a forbidden delight. However, there are good as well as bad sides to this movie that should be addressed. First off,…

Chambord Liqueur

There has to be something about Chambord that is special, as my wife and I still joke around about the numerous bottles of the liqueur that have been stashed away in individuals’ collections. However, before receiving this bottle for review, we both have never had a chance to test out this offering. If you are like us, we had no idea about Chambord’s lineage, which can be traced back all…

Plum Gekkeikan (26 Proof)

While there seems to be a number of sites that catalogue the newest and flashiest of the sake products released stateside, I feel that the Plum Gekkeikan that has been on the market for some time is something that should be given publicity. I have no doubt that a number of Asian buffets throughout the United States have a bottle of this either up on their liquor shelves or use…
