While there have been a number of different flavored alcohols that have pervaded the markets in the last few years, a key problem that has surrounded all of them has been a strong fake flavor of whatever type of fruit that the alcohol is supposed to have included. Thus, an orange flavoring would put the alcoholic drink perilously close to a cough syrup type of flavor. However, the latest offerings…
Set at $34.99 for a 750ml bottle (a 1.75 L bottle is available as well), Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum would normally be a little out of our price range. However, we were provided with a sample of the rum, and after getting a number of opinions and thought about the overall taste, mouthfeel, and bouquet, we here at NeuFutur felt that an individual that actually purchased a bottle of…
Metal Mind Productions presents the first official release of Pyorrhoea‘s second full-length album. Rhythmical intensity mixed with massive guitar riffing and powerful growling! “The Eleventh: Thou Shalt Be My Slave” surely will not disappoint any extreme death grind maniac. The band was founded in the middle of 2001 by two friends: Cyprian and Andy Blakk. After a couple of months, Daray and Analripper joined the band. In June 2002, Pyorrhoea…
When we think of the term Pop Music there are two distinct thoughts that come to our minds, it makes you want to dance (and is a guilty pleasure that lives in your iPod) or it has a powerful meaning that tends to live and radiate with us for the majority of our lives. Is it possible to saddle these two different trains of thought and marry the two into…
Rick Of Ages #1 / 12 Pages / Free / Rick, 2158 Jacocks Ln., Fort Worth TX 76115 / Released March 2003 / Well, in my short time reviewing comics, I’ve gotten a lot of shit and a very few decent comics. Even though Rick would like you to think that this is the worst comic you’ve ever read, I really have to say that this comic isn’t half-bad. Imagine…
Adam Levy is best known for his tenure as the featured guitarist in Norah Jones’ Handsome Band. He played on Norah’s Come Away with Me, Feels Like Home, and her latest disc Not Too Late. Adam also wrote “In the Morning” from Feels Like Home. Adam has accompanied onstage and/or in the studio various musical luminaries like Rosanne Cash, Amos Lee, M. Ward, and Tracy Chapman.
While there are a number of police drama shows that are on the air in the United States at this current moment, I feel that there just is not a better one to be found than The Closer. The amount of viewersd on any given week further gives that claim credence: the episodes from this season were the highest rated of any other ad-supported, fictional show of all time. Kyra…
Drillbit Taylor focuses on the interaction that three high school kids have with Owen Wilson’s character, a paid type of soldier that looks to make them into real men capable of defending themselves and getting the respect that they deserve. Along the way, there are a number of times where the trio of high schoolers start to wreak revenge on their tormenters, really giving Drillbit Taylor a feel as if…
Mike states, “I always try to save and answer every email I get as a band member. Eventually I began to see that I could just post the answers in an advice blog or column, and well, ask the dude was born.” A little fun, and mostly serious, Mike draws on his thirteen years of touring, recording, (plus a little known degree in Social Work from George Mason University), to…
Finally, we come to Midori Melon Liqueur. Of the three types of spirit reviewed in this panel, the highest interest was toward this Liqueur. The bright green color of Midori reminds individuals of perhaps a sour apple Jolly Rancher, or even Absinthe. The taste of Midori, however, is different than all of that. The alcohol content is similar to that of Zen Green Tea Liqueur – 40 proof, or 20%…
The first thing that I purchased after I turned 21 was a handle of Evan Williams Whiskey and a Black and Mild. Needless to say, I was on a budget at the time, and my tastes were not too terribly cultured. One thing has remained true through the years since that date; I like whiskey. I have tended to gravitate towards the cheaper brands and styles of whiskey (Ten High…
Zen Green Tea Liqueur is an even better of the concoction that I made back in my fraternity days, when I mixed Iced Tea with cheap whiskey. However, there are some key differences between Zen Green Tea Liqueur and that Frankenstein’s creation, in that it literally tastes like Green Tea, while still having a decent enough alcoholic content (40 proof, or 20% alcohol by volume). Green tea leaves are ground…
Minutemen features the acting talents of Jason Dolley, whom individuals may already know through the original Disney series Cory in the House. The film itself was originally aired on the Disney channel in late January and made its DVD appearance in May of this year. The plot surrounds Virgil (Dolley) and eir friends Charlie (Luke Benward, How To Eat Fried Worms) and Zeke (Nicholas Braun, Sky High) and the time…
As previously announced Metal Mind Productions will release the first live DVD by Oliver Wakeman Band entitled “Coming To Town – Live in Katowiceâ€. Oliver, the oldest son of Rick Wakeman (Yes), is a great prog-rock musician known for his many artistic collaborations, including the one with Clive Nolan (Pendragon, Arena, Neo, Caamora) which resulted in the creation of two genuine masterpieces of the genre: “Jabberwocky†and “The Hound of the…
Following the strong response to the posse track “3rd Degree” and the new street leak “Da Livest”, Nino Bless released the long-anticipated street-LP, Untold Scriptures, on 5-20-08. “I have notable veterans of the game helping me push this project, including Big Mike, Mick Boogie, & J Love.” The street-LP runs 19 tracks deep with features from Styles P, Joe Budden, Kool G Rap, Saigon, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz & Grafh.…
Keep in mind during this interview that this is a fanzine, and being a fanzine, it has to have a specific topic. This fanzine’s topic is about the local music scene in Worchester, England, as saying that, it does have some interesting interviews and reviews of a bunch of bands that I’ve never heard of. If one was to live around the area, I would highly suggest getting this zine…
Shaya cuts to the chase in a serious way with “Fall Back,” bringing his signature flow to the table alongside a low-key yet highly memorable beat. The opening line, “Hit ’em with that critical hip-hop,” embodies Shaya’s philosophy when it comes to making hip-hop: no excess, no frills, just solid rhymes and beats and music that comes from the heart. Lines such as: “Your boy can rhyme, outta sight outta…
This five-piece Brooklyn-based ensemble brings fierce passion and intense energy to the scene with layered textures of psychedelic vibrations that penetrate the soul. Werewolves are able to capture the vintage feel of the sixties while still creating a sound that is progressive and innovative. The band was founded on coincidences and chance, starting with long–time friends Mike Maio (Guitar) and Turner Halsey (Percussion/Keys/Synths). The duo had been playing together In…
Fans of Foals’ former acts, The Edmund Fitzgerald and Face Meets Grill, should immediately be fans of Foals’ work. This is not because the work on “Antidotes†is just copying what the individual band members have done in the past, but rather that the work put forth by Foals here is heads and shoulders above the body of work of either predecessor act. “Antidotes†begins with “The French Openâ€, a…
In Bruges is a film that stars Colin Ferrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes. Ferrell and Gleeson play the roles of two hit men that screw up a job, forcing their boss (Fiennes) to tell them to lay low in the titular city. However, staying off the radar provides to be hard for the two, as Ray, after falling in love with Chloe (Clemence Poesy), a drug dealer, gets into…
