Loud and proud, Portland, OR based Lovers is a band of emotional intensity and complexity. Their last album Dark Light begins with singer Carolyn Berk’s confession, “every time the music starts, I can feel my aching, shaking heart,” and from there, Lovers embark on a spiritual journey of inspired three-part harmonies, deep introspection, and next-wave humor. That album received rave reviews and led to sold-out shows for the threesome. Back…
Since the Blu-Ray format started, there have been a tremendous amount of different re-issues and remastered versions of titles that had previously only been on DVD (and VHS). However, I feel that MGM has pushed the bar up higher with their release of West Side Story on its 50tyh anniversary. Thhe feature is incredibly clear, and will be a completely different experience for anyone that has already seen the film.…
1. Scared, but not that Scared 2. Gun Bash 3. Machine ………………………………………………………….. 1,2,3 released their debut LP (New Heaven) earlier this year, and the third track off the record lends itself to the title of their new single out today! ‘Scared, but not that scared’ features two brand new tracks “Gun Bash” & “Machine”. Much like their debut, these new songs are melodic, catchy pop songs, that defy a specific…
Our last look at Matthew Dear’s creative cycle was the fathoms-deep starkness of his 2010 album, Black City. A triumph of slowly imploding romanticism, Black City was ultimately just another step in Dear’s creative evolution from his breakthrough Asa Breed (2007) and his Detroit-meets-Berlin minimal techno of Leave Luck to Heaven (2003). The vision found in this EP is a likely harbinger for Dear’s full-length, Beams (coming in 2012). “Headcage”…
There are a number of different websites that look to provide viewers with the greatest selection of MP3s. However, a great deal of these websites do not provide viewers with the best selection or with prices that are as low as MP3Mixx. It is due to these two largest factors that I would have to strongly recommend the website.First off, whether a viewer is looking to download Lady Gaga SargeantJohn…

For those unfamiliar with the Black Rose Saga, it takes place as the friendship between Anthy and Utena starts to twist and turn. As this is happening, Utena’s world become more hectic…

I wanted to be in a band when I was younger. I spent a small time in a few bands, but I always believed that a key thing holding me back was my lack of money. Specifically, I was unable to go and purchase all the different pedals that I needed to truly make my guitar work reach that next level. The Line 6 Mobile In is an add-on for…
There are a number of products that are on the market that look to sate hunger, and a great many of these are ultimately forgettable. However, SeaSnax is a product that tastes amazing and is great for you. Do not let me mince words – SeaSnax are just seaweed with a little bit of spice to them. However, the flavor profile of SeaSnax are so large that one will easily…

This is Optimum Nutrition’s latest foray into the protein market, the Platinum Hydro Builder (available in Chocolate Shake and Vanilla Bean flavors). The presence of enzymes that aid in digestion along with Creapure creatine…
It is not surprising that that the gamer collective was a little bit scared about the new Back to the Future game. The last time a gamemaker tried to make a console title based on these classic films was the LJN title for the NES, and it was bad beyond words. However, the much more talented Telltale Games has crafted a gaming experience for the Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation…
Mushroomhead is one of the biggest active bands to come from Cleveland. While they have formed their style over the course of numerous albums, Jeffrey Nothing (the band’s vocalist) has boldly went out on eir own with The New Psychodalia. There is a confidence that is weaved through the album’s 13 cuts that pushes the album past Mushroomhead territory. This is an evolutionary step forward for Nothing, and the album’s…
