The Popovich Brothers of South Chicago, a 1978 documentary by Jill Godmilow, is a great look into big city life at the end of the seventies. What was so commonplace to see in the years after the documentary was created seems extremely foreign for audiences in the current period. It is this distance in time and locale (Chicago versus the rest of the United States) that makes this such a…
There are many different whey protein isolates on the market, and while they are seen as some of the best proteins one can buy, the quality of each differs greatly. Neocell has attempted to flip what an individual expects from their protein; Collagen Sport is the result here. The product should be used in a way similar to other protein powders – as a post-workout drink that will facilitate muscle…
I did not know that Carhartt released clothing beyond their coats and work-based gear. We at NeuFutur received a pair of their Woman’s Original Basic Jeans for review, and cannot be happier with the quality of what we received. First off, the cut of the jeans is fashionable and will look good on the young adult set (16-35). Secondly, sizing is on point and an individual that is a certain…
This volume of Chuggington contains six distinct episodes that will keep children interested for a hair over an hour. While each of these episodes represents teaching of a different moral, I feel that there are some common threads to be enjoyed here. For example, with the same set of characters, children will be able to come to know and enjoy them – they may even have a favorite, for example.…

It is nice to see that Nickelodeon is gradually moving to providing full season sets for their original shows. I always felt that the 6 to 10 episode collection style that is present in a number of companies’ inventories was a remnant of the VHS era, in which only a few episodes could be captured on a tape. With DVD (and Blu-Ray) formats possessing a great deal more space, whole…

Q:What’s your story? How’d you fall into rap? My story? Ha, I’ve got a million stories, but I started into rap after being a writer for many years. I never translated it into music, cause I’m not exactly a singer, and when I first thought to rap, I didnt like the image that the hip hop genre perpetuated. It just seemed too shallow, too obsessed over pointless things, but when…

Previously, there only existed a small segment of the United States population that had any idea what Goldwasser was. However, with Niche Import Company bringing this spirit to our shores, the amount of imbibers that can profess familiarity with Goldwasser is drastically increasing. While the spirit will immediately remind individuals of Goldschlager with gold specks floating in a clear base, the taste of Goldwasser is drastically different than that of…
Ever since moving operations from his parent’s basement in Tacoma, Washington to Brooklyn, 20 year old Brad Oberhofer has been carefully honing his own brand of bedroom pop, which is as affecting and genuine as it is naively chaotic. Charmingly skewed and ramshackle, Oberhofer’s classic, melody heavy indie rock sound manages to meld Brian Wilson sized hooks with expansive instrumentation and kooky, unpredictable song structures. The intense production mixes programmed…
Country music has been continually changing and evolving over the course of the last few years.

Eric Church is looking to provide another path in which country can go with eir latest album, “Chief”. “Creepin’” is the first track on “Chief”, and it immediately provides listeners with a bold…
