I graduated from college with a classics degree, along with a mountain of debt. I am familiar with Boudicca, but I believe that a number of other individuals have not had a chance to properly understand the impact that this Celtic queen had on any sort of rebellion against the Roman empire. Warrior Queen is a story about Boudicca’s trials and tribulations, and the lead role is filled by Alex…
A great many of the bands that come from the United Kingdom possess a certain musical pedigree that presents itself audibly during their music. It becomes an easy feat for a great many of these bands to succeed based on this pedigree along, but a special kudos has to go out to any sort of band that looks to break free of this style. I have to contend that The…
This DVD was filmed last year at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, and represents a killer show in memory of Les Paul. Jeff Beck provides the most brilliant star power of the night, but the ranks are filled out by legends like Gary U.S. Bonds, Imelda May, and Trombone Shorty. What results is an eclectic set of performances that never fails to impress. There is nary a…

The 90’s were a bad time for books by comedians. Apparently you were handed a publishing contact as soon as one of the networks picked up your sitcom, which explained such dreadful books that lined the clearance table by folks like Tim Allen and Drew Carey. Now that someone has obviously shut down the pipeline between the comedy clubs and paint-by-number sitcoms, it looks like publishing houses are finally showing…

In 2010 Mexico’s legendary ZOMBIEFICATION crawled out the grave with disgust and finally released their long awaited debut album Midnight Stench on CD through Asphyxiate Recordings. Playing a rotten style of death metal that crosses the early Stockholm sound with Mexico’s own proud tradition of ancient cult death metal, you can now experience Midnight Stench on vinyl, the way it was always meant to be experienced. Chaos Records recently made…

We’ve been extolling the virtues of Denmark’s When Saints Go Machine for some time now. Their music is very evocative of specific places and feelings, with a premium on emotional honesty. As such, it’s a pleasure to see their work interpreted by another artist who shares these same qualities. Nicolas Jaar delivers a stirring version of the track, incorporating some wonderful new sonic elements. All of this great music just…

Second off, the music choices here (including “Your House” by Steel Pulse, “Juice” by Eric B and Rakim, and “Original Nuttah” by Shy FX)…
