The Suicide Machines bring another twist with this new album, slowing down the tempo, but they still keep the sense of good-naturedness with the single “Sometimes I don’t mind”, which is a paean to a dog. A psuedo-Ramones track is thrown in with “Permanent Holiday”, from the topic of the song (Rebelling and Running Away) to the Ramonish pitch of Jason Navarro,.All and all this CD shows the Machines…
Aerosmith are an American institution, but possess a worldly attitude, especially towards charity. This means that Aerosmith conducted this concert to provide relief to the sufferers of the tsunami and resulting meltdown at Fukushima. The video quality of this performance is stellar, with the DVD release achieving clarity that is comparable to a HD broadcast. The soundboard-like quality of the music makes this into a must-have for Aerosmith fans.…
There have been some strong contenders to the dominance of Saturday Night Live. SCTV was able to fight the valiant fight in the 80s, while Kids in the Hall and MadTV provided a different option for the 90s. Fridays was the first of these shows, and showcased the work of a slew of comedians before much of America would become familiar. The show aired from 1980 to 1982 and…

Taken together, the episodes on Arts and Crafts Playdate will inspire viewers to take up…
Blending Latino culture with punk rock is not unheard of. The Casualties have been known to sing in Spanish; The Bronx have an entire side project devoted to Mariachi music, so the fact that San Antonio’s Piñata Protest have fused an accordion and snatches of traditional Mexican-American music with punk rock is not exactly ground-breaking. But the fact that they do it well, is worthy of attention. Their sophomore album,…
Fire(Part 2) is a free-form jazz that simultaneously touches upon an entire range of styles from the fifties out to the eighties. The constituent elements of Lullaby North are talented enough to weave a cogent narrative through this introduction to the band, resulting in a set of listeners that will be utterly enamored. Words for hire begins with a vocal narration before touching upon nineties…
The episodes present in the ninth season of Matlock showcase the lawyer at eir finest, helping provide counsel in an inimitable way. A variety of premises are broached with these episodes, including murder, abuse of authority (The Deadly Dose), bank robbery (The Getaway), and rekindled love (The Verdict). The video quality of the episodes is stellar, ensuring that viewers are confronted with a sharp picture and audio so clear…
Slavery has a retro feel to it that will recall the electrified pop of the halcyon days of the eighties and early nineties. The lush production behind Slavery makes the effort work admirably in the current period. A very poppy tempo and smooth feel to the instrumentation ensures that this track will easily slide onto radio rotation. I feel that Achim G does more with the pop genre than…
We are able to have a tremendous day last week when we were invited to stop by Cedar Point. The temperature and sun was perfect, ensuring that we could stay out for a long time. We were able to get to the park around noon and found a spot without any hassle. After a few minute walk to the front gates, we got into line on Ocean Motion. When…
The La Brea Focaccia Breadsticks are hands down the best frozen bread product that we have had the chance to review this year. Pop them into the oven for a few minutes and they will be ready, staying fresh and warm for a while after. While the company directs purchasers to place the Breadsticks into the oven, 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave will allow them to be fresh.…
