Pros and Ex-Cons (DVD)

We reviewed a title a few days back that received a DVD release long after the film was finished. Pros and Ex-Cons, starring Sam Worthington, is another of these types of films. This Australian film is full of energy and showcases a much younger (and more handsome) Worthington in the lead role. The film touches upon a number of films in the action genre, whether it be Pulp Fiction, Die…

S.A.N. BCAA-Pro 5000 (Amino Acids)

I have just started to use amino acids in preparation for working out. I was unsure of the value that they had, but was able to read a few books about the subject and feel that it is what will bring my workout to the next level. Amino acids are what allow muscles to recuperate faster, and as such, allow for better and more sustained muscle growth. The SAN BCAA-Pro…

Introducing…CAPITAL CITIES! ELECTRO-POP DUO RELEASE DEBUT SELF TITLED EP VIA LAZY HOOKS!

Los Angeles-based electro-pop duo Capital Cities isn’t afraid to let the Southern California sunshine seep into their music. Synth-tastically bright, danceable and catchy, yet maintaining a depth that reflects the band’s roots in San Francisco, Paris and Armenia, it’s loaded with appeal. Perhaps it’s the vintage Juno-106 heard punching out across their self-titled debut EP, or the unique timbre of frontmen Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian’s blended vocals. Either way,…

The Boy Friend (DVD)

We’ve covered Warner Archive titles in the past, but we cannot say enough about the company. By releasing a number of films in their vault with little more than a re-mastered version of their original, they are able to keep the price of the movie down while making previously forgotten films accessible to the wider public. The Boy Friend is one of their latest releases, a re-release of a 1971…

THIN LIZZY SET TO ROCK NORTH AMERICA THIS FALL OPENING FOR JUDAS PRIEST

It’s almost impossible to find a modern day hard rock/heavy metal band that doesn’t list Thin Lizzy as an influence. So the band couldn’t have picked a better time to launch an arena tour, opening for Judas Priest on their farewell “Epitaph Tour.” Comprised of a kick ass line-up featuring such Phil Lynott-era Lizzies as guitarist Scott Gorham, drummer Brian Downey, and keyboardist Darren Wharton, as well as Guns N’…

McCartney I + II (CD)

I always thought that the CDs that were put out by Starbucks’ Hear Music were just normal retail versions of CDs, and in the odd case that they created an album, that it would be a greatest hits album that was reordered. However, they have done a tremendous service to fans with the release of two two-CD sets in their re-release of Paul McCartney’s 1970 and 1980 solo albums. The…

Set to All Tiny Creatures’ “An Iris,” the single featuring the vocals of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and incorporating the blue orbs…

I Want Your Money: Director’s Cut 2012 Edition (DVD)

Ray Griggs attempts to show with I Want Your Money how exactly the different political parties view their relationship with their citizenry. Using speeches from Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, there are a number of differences that are shown. While there is a full hour and a half to this DVD, I still feel as if there could have been more coverage presented. What results in I Want Your Money…

City Center – Redeemer (CD)

City Center has just released their first full-length album on K Records in “Redeemer”, and there seems to be a certain spring in the band’s step that is noticeable on the disc’s introductory track, “Puppers”. The band works towards the creation of an album rather than the furtherance of a few key singles. This means that there are considerable nods towards other efforts on the same album during cuts like…

Introducing Ontario’s Dark Mean

The recording of Dark Mean’s debut album began sometime in 2007. During this period band members Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston released two “work in progress” EPs without expectation. Little did they know Frankencottage and Music Box would become quite well received in the blogging community, downloaded in over 100 countries, lectured upon by a music professor in Brazil, and find the band rousing audiences into massive sing-alongs…
