Shuttle Bus Vol. 2, #1 / $1 / 16L / Hoendous Failure Studios, PO Box 7504, Ann Arbor MI 48107 / I’ve heard about the first run of this zine in the past, but was never able to go and really locate for myself a copy. Now, Dustin has started the zine back up, and well, I’m not sure exactly why this zine was so lauded. I’m not necessarily saying…
One of the reasons why I bought the Nintendo Wii in the first place was to have a party console, one where I could conceivably have a number of individuals over and become engrossed in a game. There have been a number of games that have fit that bill, but I feel that Big Beach Sports has to be the best released thus far in 2008. This means that up…
Steve Lawler’s Viva series returns with an excursion to Toronto, taking you deep ‘Inside’ the club, then ‘Outside’ for one of his famed eclectic, terrace sessions…

“Thinking Cap” is the latest single from Shaya’s debut album Fallen Awake. Under the manifesto of resurrecting “thinking man’s music,” Shaya’s track is an open palm to his listeners; a chance to lay rest the pains of his own life and come to terms with a new mentality that is rooted in clarity and honesty. Discussing his recent record deal, Shaya writes about his anxieties about releasing his first album…

On September 30, Bleeding Through will unleash their definitive album, Declaration.
Rolling Stone (David Fricke) : “Icelandic singer-songwriter Mugison already has a reputation abroad for bleak magic, on record and in solo appearances with acoustic guitar and laptop. But in his headlining set at the Art Museum, he came out swinging like a country-blues Led Zeppelin, armed with a muscular backing band of electric bass, pedal steel guitar and cannon-fire drums.”
Shredding Paper #15 ($3.95, PO Box 2271, San Rafael, CA 94912) This zine is another zine that is really on the edge of being considered a full-blown magazine. However, Shredding Paper does not have enough in the way of content to truly be considered a magazine, as only about 22 pages of the 116 total are non-reviews. The pieces that are not reviews in this issue are actually fairly well-written,…
Sponsored by the No Fear clothing company, the first leg of Bullet For My Valentine’s North American tour will run to mid-August; the second leg will run throughout September, dates to be announced shortly.

The JEWELS album is the result of an experiment to search for a navigation system, which led the band back into hidden niches of the Einstürzende Neubauten universe that have not been especially brightly illuminated before now; into those corners, which have remained in the dark or have been forgotten despite two decades of restless movement. Jewels is being released in the U.S. this Summer on the band’s own Potomak…
Taylor Hollingsworth will release his new record, Bad Little Kitty, on July 29th. A sideman for Maria Taylor and Conor Oberst (Taylor played guitar on Oberst’s forthcoming Merge solo debut), he recalls a Johnny Thunders-styled throwback or a Dexter Romweber-esque shredder. Armed with an arsenal of guitar slinging and grisly, thought-provoking songwriting, this boy-faced wonder echoes the gritty gist of some of the South’s greatest musical traditions.
Plainly stated, 31Knots has not moved in a new direction so much as they have ripened to full maturity, evolved into the creature they’re meant to be. Previous efforts – Talk Like Blood (2005), Polemics (2006), The Days and Nights of Everything Anywhere (2007) – are just as tightly wrapped, just as fierce and incendiary. But something is different. A devout fan can sense a noticeable return to the songwriting…
Short, Fast + Loud #14 / $1.50? / 72M / AKautsch@aol.com / Short, Fast + Loud is the best magazine that covers punk, thrash, grind, metal, and crust music since HeartattaCk shut its doors a few months ago. However, when the two magazines were going head to head, I don’t think the quality between the two ‘zines varied much, if at all. The zine moves back and forth through very…

While we have had a number of opportunities to have a shot at reviewing the soundtrack or score from a movie, I believe that this is the first time that wehere at NeuFutur have been tapped to go forth and do a review about the soundtrack/score from a video game. Oliver Deriviere (composing) and Dora Hristova (conducting) have created the score to this Atari game, a re-vamp of the classic…
