San Luis Obispo’s JJ Ford creates a style of country music that looks back to the glory days of the late seventies. The titular track on Perfect Saturday Night is an effort that ties together John Denver, Don Williams, and Gordon Lightfoot.

Jason’s Deli in Polaris (Columbus, Ohio area) was a surprisingly-impressive experience when one considers that a couple can eat in at the restaurant for around $20. The ordering process is simple and allows for a great variant of customization, no matter whether one orders one of the restaurant’s dishes or chooses to craft their own sandwich. The restaurant has a large amount of freebies, including a bevy of crackers, pickles,…
The potential of taking home prize money for a game is interesting to me. While we have covered a number of titles (card games, video games)in which there is a competitive sporting aspect, some of the best money still comes from traditional card games. An example where there is a good amount of cash flowing around has to be the CPT Punta Cana. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur as Sargeant,…
Post Paradise is an act that creates a bit of hard rock that will work perfectly in our post-emo period. There is a good grittiness that is immediately heard during the band’s first track on Bring It To Life Side A, Generator. The band breaks free from the hard rock mold with the front and center placement of a cello, which creates a smoother and sultrier side to this first…

The sheer depth of Pfister’s life experience is considerable…
Fordham Brewing’s Rosie Parks Oyster Stout is built upon oyster shells from the Chesapeake Bay, and it is a wonderfully complex brew that cuts down on the sweet side by inserting a little umami flavor into the mix. The stout pours with a dark brown to black coloration and a decent amount of tan head that rapidly dissipates. This Fordham effort possesses a nose that links together toasted malt and…
Out of the wide variety of different batteries and power packs that we have received for review in NeuFutur, I feel that the EasyAcc 2nd Generation Brillian 10000 mAhpower bank has been the head of the class. It possesses a good balance between capacity and weight/bulk. The rapidity of the charge is unparalleled, meandering that one can bring their phone, tablet, or mini-form computer back to life with only a…

Eddyline (Buena Vista, Colorado) is canning a number of their year-round beers; Jolly Roger, a black lager / schwartzbier is something that would be absolutely perfect during those nights where the temperature begins to drop. Jolly Roger pours intensely dark with only a small amount of brownish coloration at the periphery.
