North Carolina producer Hard Mix just released his reworking the album’s first single “Without You” in which Pitchfork Media observes “The sturdy pop groove of the original has been given a lighter touch here,…
Some songs are better released than others. Here we have a collection of lesser-released songs: cuts from compilations, seven-inches, tour-only CD-rs, and planned-but-never-released albums. This is the first in what I hope to be a series of just-for-fun albums that raid some of the good stuff in the vault. If you use mp3 software that displays the ‘description’ or ‘comments’ field, you can read the liner notes for each track.…

The amount of help that Harvey Milk brought to the then-new LGBT movement cannot be understated. Exactly how much that cause was hurt after ey was assassinated cannot be understated in the same way. Where much is made of the murdering of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, Harvey Milk’s unfortunate path from this world is something that has not been given quite the amount of ink that it…

Having good tasting and filling options for one’s pre and post workout regime is important, and should be seen at a level comparable to a good shake or other supplement. While many fitness-minded individuals will undoubtedly know about the different protein bars on the market, I believe that Titan High Protein Cookies have been largely ignored.
The heavy bass line that begins “Adventures in Chaos” is reminiscent of Anthrax’s version of “Got The Time”. This properly-energetic track is the perfect introduction of the band to fans, and represents just one of the many high points that the disc has to offer. Intense vocals, splashy drums, and driving guitars all unite to create a track that straddles the line between rock and metal. “Bridge Too Far” switches…
I absolutely love when there is a good remaster or reissue of a forgotten disc. Sundazed’s 2011 version of the Blues Magoos 1966 classic is without fault. A quick glance of this 1,000-print limited edition disc showcases absolutely brilliant and vibrant cover art, while sticking the album into one’s player will show a similarly intense quality. This is due to the fact that Sundazed has procured the Mercury master reels,…

After faltering in the late nineties and early oughts, it seems as if vinyl has finally vanquished one challenger (cassette) and is looking for a tag team victory with iTunes against the flagging CD format. This blend of old music format and cutting-edge digital representations of music is mirrored perfectly in OFF!. OFF! is the new project by Keith Morris (Circle Jerks and Black Flag), taking up residence with Dimitri…
