Frauleins in Uniform is a 1973 skin film that focuses on the titular characters, which are German women that look to further the Nazi cause by having sex with the soldiers. These romps are not enough for these sex-starved Germans, which turn to each other’s embrace. The film itself seems to be the influence for Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, which was released a full two years after…
Oleg Prodeus continually innovates and inspires on The 13; this dense and diverse album works at a variety of levels. While individual tracks showcase Prodeus’ songwriting and arrangement capacities, I believe the album enjoys a cohesion that few titles ever reach. Savior begins The 13; this track unites a rich electronic-infused arrangement with darkly emotive vocals. The track recalls Muse and even Tool in sheer complexity. Can You Feel The…
In Cages are an incredibly eclectic rock act that looks to challenge the stuffiness of the genre. Their unique style ensures that listeners will take note, while their attention to detail and sheer musical ability will make a fan out of anyone. Dirty Water blends catchy arrangements with a down and dirty style; putting the guitars at front and center ensures that listeners stick around for the long haul. In…
This Machine is the Dandy’s 8th official studio album and was recorded over the course of 2011 at The Dandy Warhols rock clubhouse/ entertainment megaplex/studio The Odditorium. The band recorded the album with their longtime engineer – producer Jeremy Sherrer. Taylor-Taylor describes this record as “stripped down, woody and extremely guitar centric.” The album was mixed Tchad Blake who also mixed The Dandy Warhols Odditorium or Warlords of Mars and Come Down.…
I love the fact that Blu-Ray discs are decreasing in price. When the format first was released, individuals were hard pressed to find a title under $30. Now, preorders for a title like Roadracers can be found for under $10. This is particularly amazing given the work that Echo Bridge has done to this title. The sharpness of the print here is equivalent to what would be presented at…

The Good Lovelies is an act that looks to create a wholly unique sound with their Let the Rain Fall. This is done through the inclusion of multi-part vocal harmonies and a bright feel to each of the tracks presented on Let the Rain Fall. The act has been around since 2006, and this title showcases the sheer maturity of their compositions. Listeners will be impressed from the introductory…

It’s an exciting week for New Zealand’s reggae-soul heavyweights The Black Seeds, as they release their brand new studio album Dust And Dirt. The 13-track project is out today on Trailblazing label Easy Star Records. Easy Star is also reissuing The Black Seeds’ celebrated back catalog today. Four of their older titles-Keep On Pushing, The Black Seeds Live Vol. 1, On The Sun and Into The Dojo-are seeing their first-ever…
It is hard to create a vegetarian protein that stands up in quality to whey or beef proteins. I believe that MRM’s latest effort, their Veggie Protein, may just do that. Each 38 gram scoop contains 22 grams of protein; including two scoops into a glass of water will provide individuals with close to their RDA. Beyond that, MRM has included Omegas 3, 6, and 9 and an ORAC blend…
Michigan rock powerhouse, POP EVIL hit the road next week supporting THEORY OF A DEADMAN in continued support of their release, “War Of Angels.” The tour comes on the heels of landing their THIRD single on the active rock top ten chart. “Having three hit singles off our album is a dream come true. It’s been a long journey and we credit our fans for all the support. We look forward…

A Night To Remember has been given a tremendous coat of polish for its release into the Criterion Collection. This 1958 film is the original Titanic, albeit which much better acting and less fluffy plot. The film is a veritable who’s who of actors from this period; Laurence Naismith takes on the role of Captain Edward J. Smith, while Ronald Allen is Mr. Clarke and John Cairney is Mr.…
“Crybaby” is the 4th (and final) Cookies single. It’s comprised of two songs, both called “Crybaby,” and both featuring Colin Stetson on saxophone. Download at Refinery29 or at cookiesltd.com. There are also a very limited number of hand-sewn “Crybaby” pillowcases here. Cookies is Ben Sterling of Mobius Band, Melissa Metrick, and Ian Ainley. They just played with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom and THEESatisfaction and have…
Marriage Chronicles is a film that focuses on three couples that look to improve their relationships with loved ones. Along the way, a crazy instructor allows each to find out something about themselves and their better halves. Where it seems that many films cast individuals into roles without seeing how they work with their film spouse, I feel that each of the couples seem realistic. While Vivica A. Fox and…
What’s His Name is the first track on RoGizz vs. Black Blago, and the track immediately will draw listeners’ attention to the disc. RoGizz’s flow is utterly unique as it touches upon the new New York City (French Montana, Red Cafe) rappers just as much as Atlanta (T.I., Shawty Lo). The production of this cut takes on past and present. The track moves through the work of Mannie Fresh and…
Arizona metal militia TOAD has returned to its homeland of Phoenix after a two-week migration through the Rocky Mountains and across the southern United States. To say TOAD‘s journey was a success would be an understatement. Old friends were revisited, new allies were formed, and TOAD‘s rotten gospel was delivered on a nightly basis to receptive congregations. Upon their return to the desert, TOAD immediately delved back into the writing…

In the two part video, Solid Ground TV follows NYCE and Freeway from city to city capturing behind the scenes clips along with live performances. To view the video please visit the following links: Part…
Ahmad Jamal is still creating tremendous music in eir eighth decade on this earth. I feel that the tracks on Blue Moon allow Jamal to come back to eir roots. In doing so, I believe that the recordings are much more polished than these initial efforts, and represent a considerable evolution from all other stages in eir career. Autumn Rain immediately throws listeners into the fray, the seven minute runtime…
