Part II: Greencastle Carnival, Saturday, February 28th, 2004 With GBA, The Good Life. Getting ready for the concert, I began to walk over to Greencastle High School in the most delightful mood, as the weather was unseasonably warm for a February day. I had my portable mp3 player with me, and was able to check out one of the tracks that I was told that the band headlining the show…

The record release date is September 30th, but in the meantime, catch ‘em live as they embark on their first official tour!
Tourist – ¼ size, 16 pages. The whole zine is a cut’n’paste endeavour that is very like the stream-of-consciousness rants popularized by such people as James Joyce. The background pieces fit what is said on the page, and are interesting in their own right. Only truly making sense in tourist are the penultimate pages, which contain a page of thoughts and a page of contact information. Sorry, but I really…
The Last Days of Left Eye is a documentary that originally aired on VH1 and attempted to break down the course of events that culminated in the April 25th, 2002 death of “Left Eye†Lopes, whom individuals will remember from TLC. This 86-minute long documentary builds off of Lopes’ desire to film eir time in Honduras. This means that there are tremendous amounts of first-hand footage present that are interspersed…

Infinite Undiscovery is the latest RPG release by Square-Enix, being released on the Xbox 360 platform, coming out at the beginning of September in the United States. Perhaps the best addition to the traditional PRG game play would have to be the real-time nature of the game. Where there seems to be a sort of “pause†present in a number of RPGs when an individual goes into the start menu…

GBA, Totally Rejected @ Meherry Hall, Greencastle, Indiana (February 27th) The weekend of the 27th and 28th was one in which music reigned, and my free time was sucked up by a number of bands from the Greencastle area. Even before the first show, on Friday (which I held at an old chapel at DePauw), I had wasted so much time throwing up flyers and shamelessly promoting for it. However,…
in 2004, Eagles of Death Metal launched their wholesome good-graciousness with Peace, Love, and Death Metal, followed in 2006, by the diabolical Death By Sexy. In October 2008 EODM unleash Heart On. Speculators are speculating that the Dream Boy Duo of dance and prance will bring home Olympic Album Gold once again. The EODM formula for fantastic is humm…let’s see…that’s one part Jesse “Boots Electric†Hughes, one part Joshua “Babyduck

They became members of the UK thrash metal and death metal scenes through four albums, three of which were on major labels before finally disbanding in 1993. In 2006, the band announced its reformation. They have an album’s worth of new material, but for now they are waiting for the reception of the new songs. Frank claims that…
Touched By An Anvil #14 – 56 Pages – 1/4th size. By far, this magazine stands out in all departments except that in the spelling, which does show effort. But I kid, and this magazine mops the fllor with the sorry ass of mine. Driven by a lot of humorous material, this magazine is an amazingly fast read, with the time-tested picture background with text overlay! And it even has…
Pretty much, the only familiarity that listeners on this side of the Atlantic would have had with Alabama 3 up to this point would have been through the use of “Woke Up This Morning†as the theme from The Sopranos. Luckily, One Little Indian has released a “greatest hits†for Alabama 3 in “Hits & Exit Woundsâ€. This disc gives listeners a quick rundown of those tracks deemed best by…
Where Comedy Central has seemed in the past to be able those comedians that had already hit the top of their popularity, the latest offerings from Comedy Central (both on TV and DVD) show that they are searching out comedy stars that are reaching the top of their fields, rather than merely coasting on their past success. Regan is one of the only comedians that I have had the chance…
“Food Fight!” “I’m a zit, get it?” “Toga! Toga! Toga!” The over-the-top, politically incorrect, subversively endearing comedy classic that introduced those iconic lines to generations of audiences celebrates a milestone with “Animal House: 30th Anniversary Edition,” coming to DVD on October 28, 2008 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Directed with madcap zest by John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Coming to America), the definitive college fraternity film will be released in…
