W-H-I-T-E “Twin Tigers”

W-H-I-T-E’s (Cory Thomas Hanson) latest single, Fountain draws from the experience of water rushing over ones body, submerging the senses in a bliss of overwhelming intensities. With this single from the latest album, Twin Tigers, W-H-I-T-E aims to convey only the most ecstatic of feelings. Utilizing tom heavy rhythms and lush choir-like vocal melodies to push the sonic sphere into cascades of harmonic content. W-H-I-T-E has performed with an array…

Sweet Sweat Stick (6.4 Oz)

Most times in our Health and Fitness section, we ensure that we have went through the entire amount of whatever product we get – whether it is a pre-workout supplement, protein, or the like. However, we are so impressed by the Sweet Sweat Stick that we simply had to review it about a week after receiving it. The product is similar to a roll-on deodorant, and a quick test of…

Celadon Candy – S/T EP (CD)

“Sweet” is a track that comes forth with a number of distinct and unique styles. With a funky backdrop and a Mick Jagger-esque (think “Emotional Rescue”) approach taken by the vocals, listeners will immediately be enthralled by the band’s output. The electronic-infused arrangements that are present during “Sweet” will hearken back to the New Romantic movement of the early and mid-eighties, while there is a little bit of a harder,…

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Belong (CD)

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart lit up a terribly dark first half of 2009 with their self-titled debut album, and were able to keep interest in the band high with their EP Higher Than the Stars. About 18 months later, and the band has just released what I feel to be their magnum opus, Belong. “Belong” acts as a microcosm of the different styles and feelings that are…

Black Swan (Blu-Ray)

Through the last twelve years, Darren Aronofsky has continually made films that deviate from what is typically sponsored and promoted in Hollywood. 1998’s Pi was simultaneously one of the most tense and introspective films ever made, while 2000’s Requiem For A Dream showcased the potential for addiction in all of humanity. Black Swan, eir 2010 film, represents Aronofsky’s best-grossing movie. Natalie Portman (Nina) and Mila Kunis (Lily) struggle for two…

Big Time Rush: Season 1 (DVD)

Shows featuring an attractive male-heavy band have always done well on television. Whether it was The Monkees, The Jonas Brothers, or Big Time Rush, a tween audience will eagerly devour anything that is put out. Big Time Rush – the band, their music, or the show – seems to be miles ahead of many similar-sounding acts in that they skillfully blend rock, punk, rap, and even a little hard rock…

Around a Small Mountain (DVD)

Around a Small Mountain, the newest effort from Jacques Rivette (La Belle Noiseuse, Oeline and Julie Go Boating), is one of those films that benefit from repeat viewings. The film starts with Vittorio (Sergio Castellito) assisting motorist Kate (Jane Birkin) with Kate’s broken-down trunk. From there, the two gradually get to know each other – Kate is a circus performer that will be leaving the city soon. Vittorio has to…

KITSUNÉ MAISON COMPILATION 11

“We’re perceived as a club label when really we’ve always been between ‘club’ and ‘indie’, and this new compilation sits right at the crossroad of the two.” Explains Kitsuné’s head-honcho Gildas Loaec. “I find the combination of guitars and electronics is one of the most exciting areas in music today. Kitsuné has always supported this fusion and believe a good part of the future will come from that.” So here…

Knights Contract (Playstation 3)

Very few titles can do the action-RPG blend correctly. I feel that Devil May Cry is one of those titles, but that practically every year the gaming public is forced into picking up or otherwise noticing a great many of these stinkers. Knights Contract is an interesting new addition to the roll of these games, and I feel that Namco Bandai may be on to something amazing with this title.…

Helena From The Wedding (DVD)

Helena From The Wedding is an interesting film, not only because of the crew that it employs but also because of director Joseph Infantolino’s pedigree (Run Fatboy Run). The title is also enthralling because of the way in which Infantolino captures the married experience. Helena From The Wedding does not glamorize or otherwise modify the married experience – what viewers will see from the different couples is realistically what could…

Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman (DVD)

Morgan Freeman, even with being one of Hollywood’s most memorable actors, has some serious skill when it comes to narration. Viewers will be assured of this as Freeman introduces some of science’s most well-known scholars (a list that includes luminaries like Brian Cox and Michio Kaku) and their interesting takes on different phenomenon. This set, comprising the show’s five best episodes, will give viewers insight into what was present in…
