Keep in mind during this interview that this is a fanzine, and being a fanzine, it has to have a specific topic.

Lines such as: “Your boy can rhyme, outta sight outta…

“In the New Year”, the first available track from the New York band’s forthcoming fourth album, You and Me, is more giving and direct than most Walkmen songs, sending familiar themes– romance, the new year– billowing out to grander proportions through the force of the performance. The push-pull between drumless verses and loud, swaying, barstool singalong choruses helps make for one of the best Walkmen tracks since Bows and Arrows’…

This is due to the fact that ey is seen as a founder of the hybrid picking technique for the guitar, which occurs when an individual uses both a pick and their fingers to play notes. If individuals are familiar with the works of masters such as Wayne Krantz, Dave Fiuczynski, and Mick Goodrick,…

I love the fact that there seems to be more horror movies on the market than there ever have, and I especially love the fact that Monarch Home Video sent The Lodge as their first film to be reviewed.
