GiTAR offers a complete and scathing pop culture commentary on “STUFFED.”

Scheduled for release on June 8th, 2010 by Seeland Records, the label owned by legendary culture-jammers, Negativland, GiTAr’s “STUFFED” has the potential to make you more than you are without it.

In that cold…

J. Isaac – Welcome to the Planet (CD)

I’m not sure exactly if having two non-song tracks to start out your album is necessarily something a rapper attempting to reach that next level of fame really should be doing. When J. Isaac starts the song section of eir disc with “Baby Ez Up”, a lot of this doubt disappears. “Baby Ez Up” starts out in a Sisqo vein, but the backing beat seems to be a little anemic…

Defendor (DVD)

It is unfortunate that the home video release of Defendor came at a time when the media machine for Kick-Ass was kicking into high gear, as this film will unfairly be linked to the superhero / comedy genre in a way that it should not be. Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson) is an absolutely demented individual that thinks that ey is a superhero, shifting into the titular role with a panoply…

The Irving Fields Trio – Bagels and Bongos (CD)

There are albums that are re-released for a number of reasons seemingly every day. Expanded editions, discs with new tracks on them, but very rarely is it that a deleted, long out of print album will see the ligh of day again. It probably will not happen in regards to Warren Zevon’s Terminus City or Neil Young’s Trans, but to see that there are individuals that will take it upon…

Irving – Death in the Garden Blood on the Flowers (CD)

The style of music that Irving plays is something that has not been heard quite as much since the end of the eighties. The very dusky, retro sound of Irving is done with a quality that will make individuals find something to love about the band, even if the individual’s tastes are far removed from the band’s style. For example, a song like “Situation” is something that is heavily based…

True Blood: The Complete Second Season (Blu-Ray)

True Blood has to be one of the most talked-about shows of this new decade, and this is for good reason. Where a number of vampire-themed shows and television shows have been hokey or more intended for a juvenile case, True Blood injects all the drama, sex, and violence that the genre demands. True Blood’s second season is able to succeed due to tremendous arcs and storytelling that were laid…

Ironbound NYC – With A Brick (CD)

This is hardcore that should be called such, instead of jock-metal. This mixes thrash, punk, and Slayer-like metal to create something that is hard enough to bang one’s head to but not dark enough that a killer mosh pit couldn’t be started. The band, which has members of Sick of It All, Nausea, and Killing Time in it, really shows a maturity that goes well beyond the amount of time…

ModNation Racers (Playstation 3)

There are a number of reasons why individuals should seek out the Playstation 3 version of ModNation Racers. First off, it may just be the catchiest track-racing game since the original Mario Kart, and second off, the sheer amount of customization that players have over their cars and their surroundings far outstrips other racing titles. Just take for example the drivers themselves; where there are oftentimes customization numbers in the…

Daria – The Complete Animated Series (DVD)

Eight years after the animated show Daria ended its five seasons run, the series – tailor-made for Generation X – is finally being released in its entirety. The collection includes the pilot, episodes from all five seasons and a slew of extras. They may have taken their time rolling this one out, but they did it right.

Pinnacle Raspberry (Vodka)

Pinnacle’s flavored line was one of the few that we had not had the opportunity to review at NeuFutur. Where we have reviewed countless other flavored vodkas in the time that we have had the alcoholic section active, Pinnacle’s Raspberry effort is special. Aside from being the first of its brand, it also is the first raspberry-touched spirit that we have covered. The seventy-proof spirit represents a fairly normally-fueled spirit,…
