New Video for Yelle’s “Comme Un Enfant” Premieres on Rolling Stone

Just in time for the second leg of the Safari Disco Tour 2011, Yelle has rolled out a brand new — and very pink — new video for the addictive single “Comme Un Enfant.” Rolling Stone premiered the video today, which sees Julie Budet weaving a fashion show-esque wonderland around some slick choreography from a handful of dancers in bodysuits. If you missed it, MTV Hive recently their hands on…

Blue Velvet (Blu-Ray)

Blue Velvet is one of cinema’s classics, and it only makes sense that MGM is going to release a tremendous Blu-Ray on the film’s 25th anniversary. 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. After taking in the feature, viewers should check out…

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…

Hollywood FLOSS – “So Much To Say” Ft. Brian Angel

Hollywood FLOSS is back with the video for “So Much To Say,” a song that features crooner Brian Angel and serves as a recent single from his latest album, One Fan At A Time. The video, directed by Rob Jay and edited by Justin Morrow, is a dedication to his love for hip hop, complete with graffiti in the back drop and mimes acting out FLOSS’ lyrics throughout. “The ‘So…

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…

Hillbilly Vegas – Ringo Manor (CD)

Shake It Like A Hillbilly is the first track on Ringo Manor, and it immediately showcases Hillbilly Vegas as an act that can touch upon the work of Every Mother’s Nightmare and Bon Jovi, while still having a little bit of a country twang. What results during Ringo Manor is an album that is catchy and musically sound. The energy generated during Shake It Like A Hillbilly does not diminish…

Casanova ’70 (Blu-Ray)

Mr. Bongo came out with a DVD version of Casanova ’70 (1965) for foreign audiences last year. While that version was solid enough, I feel that Lorber has really stepped their game up with this Blu-Ray release. This means that there is an absolutely lush restoration for this Mario Monicelli (Toto and the Women, Big Deal on Madonna Street) film. The flick is absolutely out there, focusing on Andrea (Mastroianni)…

Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box Seven (DVD Set)

The amount of work that Funimation has done in making these Dragonball Z episodes into a sharp and vibrant release is absolutely amazing. The collection comprises 40 episodes of the show, with full story arcs from episodes 251 to 291. This set comprises two distinct story arcs – the Kid Buu Saga and the Fusion Saga, while containing enough ancillary twists and turns during these stories to keep viewers at…

Swole Evolve (Pre-Workout)

There are new supplement companies comping out every month. However, a great many of these are not in it for the long haul. I feel that Swole Sports Nutrition will be around for years, if not decades, to come. This is because they have created a set of products that provide individuals with what they need to achieve the best and most productive workouts, all while placing them at a…

The Sharp Ease – Going Modern (CD)

I was not expecting The Sharp Ease to come up with such a retro-punk track to open up “Going Modern”, using a Ramones-like song structure to push through their desires. Tracks spin through before one can honestly get a grasp on The Sharp Ease, but with tracks like “I Demand”, a sort of disco-like guitar line permeates the track, while Paloma‘s vocals achieve a more energetic, Debbie Harry-esque style. Each…

THQ WWE All-Stars (Nintendo 3DS)

There have been a tremendous amount of different wrestling games for the different handheld consoles, and pretty much without fail, they have been sad recreations of the games for the current generation. However, I feel that THQ has outdone themselves and has made a handheld console wrestling title that contains the same high amount of energy of both wrestling and the PS3 / Xbox 360 versions of the title, all…

Shark Soup – Fatlip Showbox (CD)

“Holy Water” is a lighter version of the punkabilly that acts like Tiger Army and Nekromantix have been perfecting over the last decade or so. However, Shark Soup seem to be influenced by a larger set of bands than either of the two aforementioned acts, which means that the album is exponentially more interesting than anything put out by either act. “One Eyed Kat” shows that diversity of interests, as…

Sharks and Minnows – The Cost of Living (CD)

Electronic-based indie rock, Sharks and Minnows start off “The Cost of Living” with the electronically influenced pop gem “Sunday Driver”. Not pigeonholing themselves into one specific genre of music, different tracks continue the thread of strong lyrics and pop-influenced hooks with “Slow Learner”. A tad quieter than The Weakerthans, a little more musically apt than Weezer, and a google less annoying that Matthew Sweet, Sharks and Minnows play the most…
