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…
All Tiny Creatures and their debut album Harbors, released by Hometapes this Spring, continue to come alive: on the road, on the turntable, and now, in moving pictures. Hometapes received this meditation on Japan’s urban landscape just weeks after the earthquake and tsunami sent the country into chaos. Set to All Tiny Creatures’ “An Iris,” the single featuring the vocals of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and incorporating the blue orbs…
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 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…
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…
I was a little antsy when I learned that A&E was branching off into drama rather than continuing to solely focus on reality television shows. The Glades premiered last year, and ties together a number of up and coming actors with established television personas. Matt Passmore plays Detective Jim Longworth, a transplant to the area from the Windy City. Longworth takes a position at the FDLE – the Florida Department…

It is rare to view a film that has so many nods to different genres. In the case of Payton Collins Serial Rapist, director Toby Ross is able to blend horror, thriller, and erotic elements into what ey calls darkotica. It is this ability to move seamlessly through these different genres is why the film becomes inviting, but the roles turned in by the different members of the cast is…

Humans beware; the most putridly progressive and wildly warped split release of the year is upon us! A total head-to-head freakout-fest featuring two of New Jersey’s premiere tech-prog-psycho metal acts, EL DRUGSTORE and A FUCKING ELEPHANT, the split EP was recently completed and will ooze into the public on July 26, in both CD and digital formats. This will be the maiden voyage for newly formed Nefarious Industries, a label…
SEVENDUST was forced to cut their current European tour short over the weekend due to circumstances beyond their control. The trek was scheduled to conclude June 24 in Madrid. They’re deeply apologetic to their international fans and hope to see them very soon. The band will be regrouping for their forthcoming U.S. headlining tour—along with Adelitas Way, Emphatic and Violence To Vegas–which launches July 7 in Cedar Rapids before heading…
When a band member goes solo, there is typically some semblance of their original act present in the solo album. Brian Olive just spent a few years in The Greenhornes and Soledad Brothers, and the music that issues forth on “Two of Everything” is considerably different from either of those acts. In fact, there is a marked departure from any of Olive’s previous bands in the opening strains of “Left…

“Still,” the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited new studio album from the platinum-selling, chart-topping, award-winning Gospel duo BeBe & CeCe Winans in more than 15 years, didn’t disappoint its fans, nor the music industry community. “Still” reached the #1 ranking on the following Billboard charts: Hot Gospel Song Top Gospel Album Top Independent Album Top Christian & Gospel Album In addition, “Still” has had digital success, reaching #1 on the…
Iron Maiden has been one of my favorite metal bands for a long time now. The first concert that I ever attended was an Iron Maiden show, and a great number of the tracks contained on “From Fear to Eternity” are their strongest cuts. This 23 track greatest hits compilation could easy have another two or three discs added without any decrease in quality, but Universal has done a tremendous…
