Nature: Jungle Eagle (Blu-Ray)

Many viewers are familiar with the bald eagle, but I believe that few outside of those that have actively studied the area will be familiar with the harpy eagles. These eagles are some of the most vicious birds currently in existence, with a huge wingspan (6 feet) and claws that rival even a black bear’s in size. Fergus Beeley is a hell of a documentarian, setting eirself (and crew) down…

Rake (DVD Set)

Rake is a tremendously hilarious show; what House did for medical dramas, Rake has done for law shows. Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge) is Cleaver Greene, a judge that straddles the line between genius and insane. The rapport that ey has with the different elements of the city showcases that ey knows what is best for the area. Where Greene is rough around the edges, ey truly has a heart of…

The Flowers of War (DVD Review)

  While Christian Bale is the name in The Flowers of War, I feel that the cast add considerably to the gravity of the film. For those that missed its original theatrical engagement, The Flowers of War is a historical drama set in mid-thirties Nanjing (China). Focusing on the atrocities committed during the second Sino-Japanese war, the film follows a rag-tag group of individuals that are struggling to stay alive.…

Smogtown – All Wiped Out (CD)

  Coming out with a sound that is reminiscent of the very first days of the 1990s on the West Coast, Smogtown really knows how to write a punk anthem. If it isn’t the Gilman sound of times back, some of these tracks would seem just as proper on a GBH or Exploited album – really, the songs are anthems enough to stand the test of time, and the mass…

Patti Smith – Twelve (CD)

  Very few cover albums really work. Where it is common for an act to include a cover on an album or on a single, few individuals have the chops to really come out with an album that is just covers. While a person like Tori Amos creates beautiful original tracks, eir foray into a cover album (“Strange Little Girls”), ultimately ended in disappointment. Patti Smith is an individual that…

BROKAW: Seattle Noise Outfit Confirms Summer Performances

Seattle-based quartet BROKAW have confirmed several Summer performances where they will unleash their noise-rock antagonism upon the attending audiences.   Noisemongers BROKAW are regionally-infamous for their raging live performances, where the mic stand frequently invades the audience’s turf as much as the stage, while the band pummels the room with oppressively amplified riff mayhem. The band have just confirmed several hometown galas for the Summer months, including a Good To…

The Smashup – Being and Becoming (CD)

  “Never Going To Kill Us” is perhaps the best beginning to any disc to come out this year; there are equal amounts of rock and punk mixed together that is imbued by The Smashup into something that is completely their own style. The three and a forth minutes of “Never Going To Kill Us” shows an AFI type sound, but one that looks equally to the earlier punk days…

MATTHEW DEAR SHARES “HER FANTASY” VIDEO PREMIERE AT NOISEY

“Her Fantasy,” the highly praised lead single––and dare we say summer anthem––gets a very fitting video treatment. Director Tommy O’Haver’s video for “Her Fantasy” takes us on a journey through bizarre sequences of debauchery and seduction with a hint of humor, as he pays homage to Avant Garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger in a self-described “mash-up”. Also, check out the Australian producer Tornado Wallace’s remix of said single. Beams is available…
