A mainstay in the Midwestern indie circles for most of the last decade, Ghosty puts on a masterful display of avant-pop songcraft. Andrew Connor’s mercurial song structures are brought to life by his vocal harmonies and guitar interplay with Jake Blanton, while David Wetzel’s keyboard textures, Nolte’s rich bass lines and Adams’ complex counterpoints give the album a resounding depth. It’s intelligent, slightly askew pop that compares favorably to Field…

The zine has a lot of white space, but each page presents itself a single coherent thought. Most of the pieces are very abstractly-written pieces of stream-of-consciousness that while sounding good, don’t…

Shirley Temple – America’s Sweetheart Collection, Volume 6 / 2008 Fox / 266 Minutes / http://www.foxhome.com/shirtleytemple / Where I was too young to really have focused much on when The Magnificent Seven was originally shown on Fox (1998-2000), my parents were not even born when these three Shirley Temple films – Stowaway, Wee Willie Winkie, and Young People – were originally released.

Zen Green Tea Liqueur (20%, Imported by Suntory International, Distributed by Skyy) 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.
