Blues Traveler has been around for 25 years. This is a surprising statement, as the band was at the top of the charts for only a few brief years in the 1990s. Blues Traveler’s 25 retrospective provides listeners with an exhaustive hit parade, along with a bonus track (the Gunslinger remix of Run-around). This set is value priced, meaning that a purchase from an online retailer will only set one…

Melancholia is a film that straddles the line between fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller. The film looks at the relationship between two sisters as calamity looks to envelop the Earth. Melancholia builds off of the overall filming style and ambiance originally presented viewers during Antichrist. Whether the two will be able to stop this tragedy while fixing the problems that has split them is the crucial point of this Lars von…

ir Gunfire of Angels EP with To Be True, a track that ties together fuzzy guitar lines with strong female vocals. The overall track comes forth with a style that is reminiscent of Republica, Garbage or Hole. Ride allows the guitars some time in the sun; the switching of vocal and instrumental elements allows listeners to hear a different side of 28-200. This time out, a more current sound is…
While there are a number of protein products that fill store shelves at any point during the year, it is truly rare when a company is able to create a new protein. Up and coming company Muscleology has created their Nitro-Pro, a whey isolate protein that should be in the possession of anyone that is concerned about their muscle gain. The 139 calories in a scoop of Nitro-Pro is on…
Innocent Mistake is a bold track that blends together guitars, drums, and an utterly compelling set of vocals. Each element of Walking Sideways contributes to the overall feel of the track. Ready for mainstream rock radio, the band just feels more honest than other acts currently making music. Rather than allowing their producer to push everything into the red line, the dynamic modeling of the track allows for Walking Sideways…

Double bassist/singer-songwriter Nat Baldwin released People Changes last spring on Western Vinyl. People Changes is much like the stark Maine setting in which it was created. Of course, his fourth full-length shows welcome markings of his experimental bent from years as the Dirty Projectors bassist and former disciple of free jazz legend Anthony Braxton, but the serene isolation of 17 million acres of New England forestland make this cabin-born set…

I believe that the most difficult task that a musician can take is committing oneself to the creation of a ten minute-plus track. The difficulty of this effort is so high due to the sheer amount of work one has to put in. It is simply not enough to merely repeat different arrangements (albeit with minor variations) for the bulk of the composition. Opening Sound dives headlong into this…
Stylish sunglasses are the latest rage with the fashion lovers and this craze is surely here to stay. They not only add to the style quotient but also protect the eyes from sunlight and harmful UV rays. In summers, you cannot suffice with your sexy girls costumes without a pair of bold, stylish sunglasses that would perfectly depict your attitude. So, while thinking about investing in a stylish pair of…

Few artists are able to convey their essence with a single. Gary “G” Jenkins, known previously from his work in Silk, is able to do so with I Love. I Love begins with an emotive piano roll, punctuated with percussion. When Jenkins’ vocals begin to rise and fall, one gains a sense of the gravity the track possesses. The track succeeds in a number of ways. Listeners will be led…
When Ailyn Pérez and Stephen Costello came together to sing Puccini’s ill-fated lovers in Cincinnati Opera’s La bohème, it was a match made in opera heaven. The Enquirer called Pérez’s Mimì “radiant” and Costello’s Rodolfo “wonderfully sung,” and praised the “warmth of tone and effortless high notes” of their duet; likewise, Music in Cincinnati reported: “The two singers made an attractive and emotionally appealing couple, with fresh young voices that…

There’s a crazy amount of incredible, nationally-known…
Begin Again is Alex Montanez’s debut recording, and it represents an album that will stick with listeners long after it spins to a close. Listeners only need to focus on just a few seconds of Superman to understand this; the honest and earnest style cultivated on this EP is unheard of in current music. The singer / songwriter genre is jam-packed with artists, making it difficult for a performer to…
