RETROGRADING PURLING HISS VIDEO AND TOUR!

We warned you a coupla weeks ago, “Mercury Retrograde” is now upon us. When Purling Hiss first premiered their burning lead single, the astrological retrograde hadn’t yet begun; but now—- well, shit– it’s in FULL JACK SWING!

Undersea Edens DVD Review

  Undersea Edens is a look into one of the ill-explored parts of the Earth, providing viewers with what occurs at levels below that where most swim.

I feel that the Smithsonian Channel has provided additional worth in this release as it is…

  Abita Fall Fest is the latest seasonal from perhaps the best brewery in Louisiana; this is a lager that has a considerably larger and more bold flavor than similar efforts on the market. This is due to the inclusion of Hallertau and German Perle hops, which pushes the IBUs up to 20. The bold malt and hop attitude of the Fall Fest distinguishes it from the rest of Oktoberfest…

Carnivor protein contains 23 grams of protein on a 35 gram scoop; the hydrolyzed beef…

Mayo Clinic Diet DVD Review

  The Mayo Clinic Diet has been associated with considerable weight loss, along with a greater percentage of those initially starting the program maintaining that weight loss.
