Kodomo – Frozen In Motion (CD)

The momentum of the initial composition on Frozen In Motion will immediately bring listeners in to Kodomo’s psyche. A chattering, busy sort of sound works alongside atmospheric compositions, moving to a slower and more deliberate feel after the break. While this initial track taps out at well below the three minute mark, I feel that the song acts as a microcosm of the different sounds, styles, and approaches that will…

HULL Issue Tour Wrap-Up

Brooklyn sludge rock sensations HULL recently returned from a pillaging month-long tour crumbling stages throughout the U.S. with their sonic wall of triple-guitar led, conceptual enormity. Bassist Seanbryant Dunn recently posted an extensive tour wrap-up. An excerpt reads:    “First and foremost, The Fucking Wrath are amazing dudes! Wise are they in entering and sustaining the ‘Nite Zoo’ mentality. Ripping through the states with these boys was truly an honor and…

Twinlab Ripped Fuel

As an aside, it was quite interesting to see Twinlab products in a Meijer; our local one does not carry them, but the ones up in Michigan are stocked to the gills with them. This is no surprise, as Twinlab was and continues to be one of the best supplement companies both in terms of quality and price. Part of the dominance comes in the reformulation of a number of…

Making The Boys (DVD)

I feel that Making The Boys is a film that must be seen by anyone that is at least tangentially interested in GLBT history and culture. Do not get me wrong, this film is an amazing capsule into theatre history, but there is much more of a focus on the GLBT side of things. This documentary looks into the creation of The Boys in the Band, and provides individuals either…

Gaspari Myofusion Probiotic (Protein)

When a company has a tremendous market share, it becomes hard to truly innovate. I feel that Gaspari has dealt with some of these problems, but will have the bulk of the bodybuilding world lining up to try this new product. Where the proteins currently on the market typically look toward building muscle mass, I feel that the Gaspari Myofusion Probiotic is something that attempts to increase the overall health…

After picking up a copy and popping it in, the first thing that viewers will notice is exactly how much care was taken in bringing the film to a contemporary and current set of visuals.

Doctaryn – Conundrum (CD)

There are a number of female singer-songwriters that are currently out on the market. Frankly, a number of them are fair to middling. However, Doctaryn is an act that boldly looks to tear down many of these conceptions and create in Conundrum one of the most intelligent and inspiring albums that we at NeuFutur have heard in the last year. Fresh instrumentation and a unique singing voice are the reason…

Blackwater (Xbox 360)

I believe that Blackwater has a tremendously interesting subject. Players are placed into a role as a member of the titular organization, a private company that works to provide services to whomever they enter into a contract with. Players have to ensure that democracy is brought to the inhabitants of Harri, a fictional country. However, there are a tremendous amount of forces that wish to continue the status quo. This…

Magic the Gathering: Innistrad (Expansion)

Innistrad is the first Magic: The Gathering expansion that I have played since Tempest (1997). The additional features and darker feel to the set are the reason that I have entered back into the fold. For those players that have been away from the game for so long, there is little different from the fundamental game. Sure, there may be terms that I was not immediately familiar with, but the…
