Peter Gabriel – Live Blood – Live in London 2011 (CD)

  I believe that live albums typically a little more than greatest hits recorded through a tin can> Sure, there are solid live recordings but a great many are extraneous at the least. Peter Gabriel has done a tremendous amount of footwork for Live Blood, essentially re-writing some of eir greatest hits and providing roles to an expansive group (over 40 players). Gabriel has taken tracks from all parts of…

LexRox – Go All In (Single)

LexRox hits on a number of distinct genres. In Go All In, hints of Avril Lavigne, Selena Gomez, and Miley Cyrus unite to make for something that will eagerly be eaten up by the tween set. The high energy of Go All In continues throughout the track’s three and a half minutes. LexRox’s vocal harmonizations simultaneously further the narrative quality of the track and make the effort that much more…

Slang – Every Day (CD)

  Slang starts out their “Every Day” with a style of rock that does not have any specific ties to current styles. In fact, the slightly gritty style of the vocals present on “That Is Why” seems to play to the era of rockers like Don Henley. The instrumentation on the track does not give listeners too much of a reason to stick with the album, so the duty of…

Murad Resurgence Age-Diffusing Firming Mask

  There are so many different products that are currently available that look to decrease wrinkles and the other ravages of time. The price range that one can conceivably pay is considerable, and for many products, there is no promise that the product will actually work. We were able to receive the Murad Resurgence Age-Diffusing Firming Mask for review and test it over the course of a month. We are…

KC Jockey – Girl You’re Free (Single)

KC Jockey is a performer that takes on the current R&B genre (Akon, Sean Kingston, Sean Paul) and adds a bit of pop harmony. What results on Girl You’re Free, his latest single, is nothing less that special. Despite having a softer, radio-friendly style, Girl You’re Free has a very strong anti-violence message. The production of Girl You’re Free allows both the instrumental and vocal sides of the cut to…

SLA – Sonic Love Affair (CD)

  The brash, loud sound of SLA on even the first track of their pseudo-eponymous album makes a good case for them to be put alongside all the post-psychedelic acts (Love, the MC5) and above the hack retro rock revival bands (The Strokes). The vocals of Dylan on many a track provide the topping that makes the act so special; with a hint of Alice Cooper and a dollop of…

COMEDY CENTRAL RECORDS RELEASES DOUG BENSON’S “SMUG LIFE”

Doug Benson, king of all things pot and movies, is back to talk about his favorite subjects and joke around in his new double CD, Smug Life, released by Comedy Central Records on July 3rd. However, this time he is trying a grand social experiment. Two shows were recorded live on April 20, 2012 at Parlor Live Comedy Club in Bellevue, WA. The first show was performed “uncooked.” The second?…

Skylines – Identity (CD)

  “The Pugilist’s Lament” is a straight-forward track that does not have much time to go off on meaningless tangents or otherwise waste listener’s time. Thus, the guitars and vocals are pointed at one specific spot on the musical skyline and are set loose for two or three minutes. Skylines are tremendously influenced by the post-grunge acts of the mid nineties. During tracks like the aforementioned “The Pugilist’s Lament”, the…

Omar Akram – Echoes of Love (CD)

The diversity of efforts that are presented on Echoes of Love are substantial. Each track provides listeners with a different side of Akram. This transforms Echoes of Love into a title that is tremendously personal while still standing on its own as a solid musical composition. The titular track on Echoes of Love is five minutes of expansive compositions that twist and subtly turn into something tremendously different at the…

MORE MUSIC FROM FUNK VOLUME’S DIZZY WRIGHT

Two months ago Funk Volume’s Dizzy Wright successfully released his debut album SmokeOut Conversations, reaching as high as #2 on the iTunes Hip Hop Chart and #8 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Album Chart in its first week. The first single, Solo Dolo, is now sitting at over 860,000 views on YouTube. The album continues to do well, but Dizzy had more music that he wanted to get circulating before he begins…

Brad Mehldau Trio – Ode (CD)

  I believe the most important contribution that the Brad Mehldau Trio makes to music as a whole is their capacity to create a fuller sound than one would normally expect. These three individuals are able to create something absolutely mesmerizing on the titular track. Each of the compositions on Ode are able to break free of typical length constraints and create a fully immersive sound scape. The different types…

Philm – Harmonic (CD)

  The expansive sound that is established on Phil’s Harmonic is nothing less than amazing. With the drums being laid down by Slayer’s Dave Lombardo, what issues forth on Harmonic is nothing less than special. The sound that issues forth from the introductory Vitriolize is unparalleled; there are hints of metal, punk, grunge, and sludge that can all be heard. The different influences ebb and flow through Mitch and Hun.…

Swanson Probiotics has released their Dr. Stephen Langer’s Ultimate 15 Strain Probiotic with FOS for $14.99 (a current offer provides purchasers with two bottles…

Dr. Dog have just announced a series of fall shows in continued support of their new album Be The Void. The band has become renowned for their electrifying live performances. As the Seattle Weekly described, “Watching Dr. Dog evolve over the last 6 or so years of solid touring has been a treat. They’ve gone from a scruffy group of seemingly shy, sunglasses-wearing goofballs to a completely confident, fully-fledged rock…
