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 
Cerebral Fix – English thrash/death metal band formed in Birmingham in 1986. 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…
Superstar Creates Bold New Contemporary Pop/Dance Sounds on Eagerly-Anticipated Third Solo Album Music World/Columbia Records will release Unexpected, the long-awaited new full-length solo album from music superstar Michelle Williams, on Tuesday, October 7.
Searching around the local bands’ websites in my spare time during the last few weeks of college, I found various hints of a big show happening the 27th at the one sleazy bar at the edge of town. The bar’s main claim to fame were their teen nights, smoke-filled affairs that brought together 10-12 year olds trying to pretend they were 16 and 45 year old lechers who think they…

While I have been a fan of the other Tight Pants zine (being The World Would Be A Better Place If Everyone Wore Tight Pants), I hadn’t gotten a chance to go and read Tight Pants until I saw a copy for sale at Boxcar Books. After picking it up, it was definitely worth my buck. While all of the fonts that Maddy uses are just windows system-type of fonts,…

NPR : “I think that Dressy Bessy is a far more efficient pleasure-machine than Coldplay. If Chris Martin’s voice is earnest and thoughtful, Tammy Ealom’s tone is every bit as knowledgable about the vagaries of love and lost and so much more varied and witty in its expression.” – Ken Tucker
Well, another show was put together for Meherry Hall. Taking place during a Saturday night in which I found myself pretty busy, I was able to sneak in a small time before the show was to start. The news of the show was pretty well disseminated, with ample amounts of flyers being printed out and J.J. (The Hybrid) and Zach (The Good Life) coming on my radio show the Thursday…

Few male R&B solo singers that debuted in the early 90’s, in Joe’s case fifteen years ago, can attest to the success that seven-time Grammy Award nominated (Best Male R&B Vocal Performance — “Let’s Stay Home Tonight,†Best R&B Album — “Better Days,†Best R&B Performance by a Duo or a Group – “More Than a Woman†w/Angie Stone, Best Pop Collaboration w/Vocals – “Thank God I Found You†w/98…
