Scale Model – Self/Titled EP (CD)

Starting out their EP with “Scale Model”, Megan’s vocals really give off a Yeah Yeah Yeahs feel, and the backing instruments really give the disc an earlier nineties feel. For a slipcase and CDr type of disc, the recording on this demo is astounding – each individual element of Scale Model comes through as clear as day. This really benefits the thick, sinewy bass lines of Joe’s as much as…

Amberfern – Quiescence: A World at Peace (CD)

There sheer amount of time that Amberfern gives the different tracks on Quiescence is intriguing; with a number of the album’s cuts clocking in at the six or seven minute mark, one wonders before the CD begins whether listeners’ interests can be sated. It may take a few minutes of the album’s first track, “Misty Harbor”, but listeners will rapidly understand the unique and mature compositions as they truly are.…

BlueMonk – Enlightened Love (CD)

Enlightened Love can be enjoyed if an individual is doing housework or meditating, but I believe that to truly get the essence of the album, listeners have to provide total focus to the strains and compositions that are provided here. There is just so much nuance and complexity present to a track like the opening Eastern Sun that would simply be missed if listeners were not solely focused on the…

Mike Howe – Island of Anywhere (CD)

Mike Howe is a veteran in the music business, but I feel that ey has continually kept eir ear to the ground. This means that there is a vibrancy to each of the tracks on Island of Anywhere that simply is not present on a release at another musician’s similar part of career. After the strains of Beyond the Mountains wrap up, listeners are provided with an emotionally affecting track…

That 70’s Show – Season One (DVD Set)

Mill Creek has been on a tear as of late, releasing a number of seasons of classic shows like That 70’s Show and Roseanne. Even more than that, they do a valuable service for fans of the original show – they ensure that the DVD sets never make it out of print. Furthermore, they provide these sets at a price that individuals can actually afford. For example, both That 70’s…

Scale Model – Humdrum EP (CD)

After doing the magazine for a number of years, I have started to receive second and third discs put out by the same bands. Oftentimes it takes a year or two to create the disc, but it always feels as if the band just sent me their last EP or LP a short time ago. This is the case with Scale Model, who garnered a very respectable rating for their…

M’s Old Faithful Sweater

While this product is described as a sweater, I feel that it can be used as a little jacket admirably. Mountain Khakis have put a tremendous amount of work into this product, ensuring that it will be able to last through countless rains, storms, and other inclement weather. Beyond that, they have created an incredibly fashionable sweater that is able to match any khakis, jeans, or other clothing that an…

S.B.C. – Self-titled (CD)

While my last studio experience with S.B.C./The Freedom Fries was with 2000’s “The Dicktad EP”, this somewhat later release really shows a band that is much more polished. Starting off the disc with “Dictator”, SBC mixes their own brand of punk from a list of influences that are in themselves legendary : The Clash, Rancid, The Dead Kennedys. More garagey than The Charlestons, SBC still has the hooks that make…

Say Anything – Is A Real Boy (CD)

The fullness of Say Anything during their “Is A Real boy” is something that other emo bands should strive to achieve. There are three or four things happening at any one time, and individuals will marvel at the multiple harmonies that little the soundscape during tracks like “Belt”. Let individuals get one thing straight; this is not the emo of acts like Bright Eyes but of acts like early Jimmy…

ThermoLife Dicana

There are a large number of different fat loss supplements on the market; it is incredibly hard to find a product that will work the first (or second) time out. We started our Health and Fitness section to provide some idea of what is good, what could use more work, and what should be avoided at all costs. ThermoLife has provided us with a sample of Dicana, and we believe…

Saxon – Dogs Of War (CD)

For some reason, I was under the assumption that Saxon was a lot harder band than they turn out to be on “Dogs Of War”. “Don’t Worry” has much more to do with bands like Cinderella and Every Mother’s Nightmare than Venom or Vader or any of the other five-letter metal bands. “Big Twin Rolling” shifts the band sound a little bit to a Hagar (Can’t Drive 55) or Lizzy…

Saline Soothers

I like to stock the cabinet in my bathroom with baby wipes; they ensure that one has the optimum cleanliness when they leave. I have not found something similar in regard to nose health / cleanliness, though. Saline Soothers are precisely these products. While previous efforts have been marketed to parents of children, I feel that one should definitely search our Saline Soothers. These moistened cloths will ensure that individuals…
