New Jersey’s DARK EMPIRE return to the scene with their third release, this March entitled From Refuge to Ruin. Fusing elements of extreme and classic metal, 70’s prog rock, and poetic, meaningful lyrics, DARK EMPIRE bring forth a tremendously successful amalgam that is refreshingly unique as well as raw and aggressive. Today sees the first official digital single release from the new release From Refuge to Ruin. The track…
We were able to test out DDR3 RAM from Kingston. The KHX1333C7D3K2 is a value-priced RAM (around $25-45) that will provide individuals’ computing needs for a lengthy cycle. Installation of the RAM is simple, and will seat properly onto whichever motherboard one may be running in their build. The 2X2 (4GB) pairing is coupled with low latency (7-7-7-20), ensuring rapid retrieval of information and an across-the-board decrease in loading…
Host John Schaefer recently picked Tiny Victories as the band to watch in 2012 in a recent NPR feature, calling the EP “full of smart, catchy electro-pop hooks with subversive production details to keep listeners guessing.” Recently, NPR’s All Songs Considered featured the band, premiering “Mr. Bones,” the first track on the EP. Previously having shared bills with Hooray for Earth, The Hood Internet, Bear Hands, and Braids, Tiny Victories will also…

To kick things off, here’s a remix from Minneapolis’…
Brooklyn’s Milagres has been catching the attention of many since the release of the their sophomore album Glowing Mouth last fall via Kill Rock Stars. The band recently stopped by NPR for a Tiny Desk Concert where they played a selection of tracks from the album including one of Bob Boilen’s favorite songs from 2011 “Halfway.” Additionally the band recorded a session at the Filter / Dickies showroom where they…
This is an incredibly rare recording. This version of the Jazz Singer features Jerry Lewis, and the recording is taken directly from the legend’s video vault. One has to remember that this recording was done in 1959, which precludes the existence of home-based VHS recorders. The fact that this recording still exists is particularly impressive, as a number of the television stations that received these performances recorded over these…

Before understanding that this is a side project of Dandy Warhols’ Taylor-Taylor, I originally thought The End Records had picked up a collection of rare tracks from the late modern period. While this is ultimately not true, One Model Nation is an act that calls back to the rich German musical tradition. This means that the band takes on Can, Kraftwerk, and even later acts like Joy Division during…

His debut, Jonathan Boulet, was an accomplished first step for the Sydney native – recorded, played, sung, produced and mixed by a 21 year old in his parent’s garage. On We…
The much-anticipated new studio album from Regina Spektor, What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, is set for release on Sire/Warner Bros. Records in late spring 2012. The album reunites Spektor with production partner Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple, Dr. Dre) and is her first album of new material since 2009’s far.

After careful, weeklong consideration, Terry Malts (San Francisco, CA) have decided to go forth and record a debut LP as per the request of Slumberland Records. Displaying a slick, intelligent take on modern chainsaw pop, KILLING TIME certainly lives up to its name! The wrong turns that led us here: a 6-song cassette (Log Lady; 2010, now in its second pressing), and two 7″ singles (both Slumberland; 2011). Who is/are/was/will…
There is a lot of noise that is typically generated at the 120mm mark on fans. I believe that many individuals have the bottom of the barrel in their computer, which leads to a great amount of the noise that is typically heard. However, Noctua has a solution to this problem. Their NF-P12 PWM kit provides computer builders with strong air displacement and an incredibly small increase in noise from…

These are some comfy shoes. They are also incredibly versatile, and should be the next purchase when one gets their taxes back or a Spring disbursement. This is because Kuru is able to create a fashionable shoe that is comfortable while providing arch and back support. Taken all together, the Chicane is a shoe that performs admirably no matter what one throws at it. The tread will provide considerable traction…

The West Coast portion of the tour will be in support of Memoryhouse and then the band will embark on lengthy national tour of headlining dates including an April residency in NYC at Piano’s presented by Pop Gun. With the release…
I believe that the title of this Player’s Option paints a decidedly different picture than what is ultimately present. Heroes of Elemental Chaos just seems like a nebulous concept, but Baker and Schwalb are able to make a capsule universe that works perfectly using 4e rules. I believe that the different classes (Sha’ir, Elementalist) can work in a wide variety of campaign settings, while exhibiting a certain difference that makes…
