Stokke Flexi Bath Review

  Having an easy way to clean a baby while having enough wiggle room for a little one is the tradeoff that a number of mothers and fathers face. A number of baby baths on the market are rigid, ill-fitting, and take up a large amount of room. The Stokke Flexi Bath looks to address a number of these issues. The bath is foldable, meaning that it can be stashed…

Mark Kraus Put An Old Record On Single Review

Put An Old Record On is a richly emotive track that needs little more than a guitar and vocals to get started. When the small amount of percussion enters in, considerable depth is provided. This is a tender and touching composition in the vein of a Conor Oberst or early Death Cab For Cutie, given a new sheen through the inclusion of folk and indie-rock.

Rye Whiskey Barrel Aged Epeteios Imperial Stout (Left Coast)

The Barrel Aged Epeteios from Left Coast Brewing Company pours with a dark-brown to black coloration and a small amount of tannish head that laces its way down a glass. The initial nose of this imperial stout ties together hints of toasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The beer balances the alcohol burn of the 10% ABV nicely with a sweetness that links together equal amounts sugar, cream, and butterscotch. The…

Vegard Skrede Mitt liv på papir Single Review

Mitt liv på papir is a dense and detailed track that will ensure that listeners need multiple plays before they understand everything that has been placed into the effort. The haunting guitars and pitter-patter of the drums here create a rich tapestry upon which Skrede’s emotive vocals rest. The overall sound of the track far outstrips the constituent elements, meaning that the effort will resound loudly long after the track has…

Stray Cats – Live at Rockpalast (DVD and CD)

Throughout the 1980s no band, not even The Cramps, were as crucial as The Stray Cats in bringing Rockabilly to the masses. Yes, there may have been a little more pop-sheen to their songs than traditionalists cared for, but this Long Island-based trio brought a fresh version of rock, country, and boogie woogie to a global audience of teens that were OD-ing on sterile New Wave bands at the time.

Shane Martin Til The Wheels Fall Off CD Review

I Am What I Am is a fun type of country that looks back to the halcyon days of the mid-nineties to early 2000s and intersperses just enough of the current and contemporary style to make things interesting. Taking up the banner of individuals of Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson, Shane Martin is able to bring Neil Diamond and Jon Bon Jovi into the mix. What results with the tracks…

The nose possesses large hints of wheat and dank, oily hop elements, while the initial sip is needed to gain a full appreciation of what the beer brings to the table. This first quaff provides imbibers…
