Stupid Stout 2014 (Coronado Brewing Company)
Coronado’s Stupid Stout is one of the meatiest and most delectable stouts that we have reviewed in NeuFutur. The beers pours with an extremely dark brown (nearly black) color and a small amount of lacing that continues to creep its way down as one continues to work on the stout.

Kristene DiMarco is set to release her new worship album, Mighty, on July 31. Recorded live earlier this year in Redding, CA, Mighty is DiMarco’s first album release with Jesus Culture Music’s partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group.
Medicated Mitch Feature
Medicated Mitch is a Detroit-area rapper that has been able to thrive in a time where news stories are de rigueur about the predatory behaviors of Detroit administrators at a point where the city’s infrastructure is crumbling. While there are a number of groups and individuals attempting to stave off this decline, Medicated Mitch contributes to the cultural renaissance with his own inimitable form of rap music. Creating the persona…
Gulden Draak Ale
Gulden Draak is a dark triple, pouring with a dark brown color and the slightest reddish tinge. The initial nose of the beer provides imbibers with a guarded introduction to the beer, as an initial sip is necessary to truly understand the full array of flavors that are present. The high ABV is hidden well with Gulden Draak, as sweeter elements (sugar, caramel, and raisins) mixed with spicier notes (whiskey,…
Kensington PowerBolt 2.1 Fast Charge
Car chargers typically are a crapshoot whether one will find high functionality or junk. We are pleased to report that the Kensington PowerBolt 2.1 Fast Charge for the iPhone, iPad, and Nano is one of the best chargers that we have ever received. The charger provides battery at a considerable rate as it feeds 2.1A into a range of Apple devices. The hard-wired connection of the device to the cable…
Muad-Dib Concentrate Box Kit
The Muad-Dib Concentrate Box Kit is the latest product by the Magic-Flight company, and it actually improves on the overall aesthetic of the original device. There is a certain steampunk flair to this concentrate rig, which is priced at $169. There are not arcane directions or a variety of different options, ensuring that one will be able to open the box after purchase and get the device rolling without much…
Crossfade M-100 Headphones (Shadow)
Priced at a hair under $250, the V-Moda Crossfade M-100s represent one of the best pairs of headphones that we have reviewed at NeuFutur. The rugged build quality of the headphones ensure that they will be able to be toted around and put through the normal rigors of everyday life without seeming the worse for wear. This is due to the considerable amount of metal (rather than plastic) that are…
The Real McKenzies – Rats in the Burlap Review
It’s been 23 years and 10 records since The Real McKenzies first start out, so there are no surprises here; at this point you know what you’re getting with these Scotch/Canadian punk rockers. It’s been three years since their last record and with another lineup change, but the band still sounds just as solid as they did with their 1995 debut.
Saint Archer White Ale
Saint Archer’s White Ale pours with a hazy and pale yellow coloration and a small about of white head that provides a light lacing down the bottle. The initial nose of this White Ale provides some hints of coriander and grain, but it is the first sip that fully establishes the totality of tastes that one will experience with this brew. There is a crispness to Saint Archer’s White Ale…
Whitewash – Shibboleth
The first studio album from New York’s Whitewash is so steeped in hipster cred that of course they had to issue it on cassette tape. Despite that eye-roll inducing move (no one should put an album out on tape in 2015, I don’t care how retro you think you are), the band actually has a powerfully impressive sound to fall back on.
The Sonics – 6/14/15 – Red7, Austin, TX
I have been waiting for years to see Tacoma’s finest, The Sonics. They burst onto the Washington scene in the early 1960s and to me, they are the band that invented punk rock. The guitars blast at a high decibel and the drums slam like the set could collapse at any moment. The music is hectic rock n roll played with what would later be describer as a “punk rock…
Doreen Pinkerton Interview
Can you give us a little background information? I grew up on Long Island, New York. I played with my family in music always, as my dad was an Evangelist, and my sister and I did the praise and worship ministry for him, using our voices, guitar, and some piano. My brother tagged along for the ride.

Animosity Kills Interview
Can you provide a little information about the different band members and what their role is in the band? Erik Lindelid, 22. The youngest in the band, is our bassplayer and vocalist. Slapping the bass and screaming his lungs out.

For this collaboration, Grenco has created a sub-$150 package that includes a digital download of “Bush”, a flower pot and seeds, and a custom BUSH G Pro vaporizer that is uniquely designed to Snoop’s specifications. The color scheme (cream and green) makes for a visually distinctive device.
Turtle Beach Ear Force XO SEVEN Gaming Headset
The gulf in quality between the best and the most lacking headphones available for the Xbox One is considerable. The Ear Force XO SEVEN gaming headsets by Turtle Beach represent the high end of the spectrum, marrying an approachable price point ($100-150) to a rugged build and large amount of functions. The audio produced by the 50mm Neodymium drivers allow for faithful reproduction of the highs and lows. Voices (whether…
Beyond the Reach (Lionsgate)
Michael Douglas, long past leading man status, is finding a great second act playing the villain. Beyond the Reach is one of his creepiest turns yet as the bad guy.
Intelligent Governance for the 21st Century: A Middle Way between West and East (Polity Press)
Berggruen and Gardels establish the current state of world politics as being bipolar. The consumer democracy present in the United States and the Confucian one-party (the “modern manderinate”) role of China represent two paths which new states can take, but each form of governance could stand to be approved; “while China…would need more participatory government and a more accountable meritocratic mandarinate to achieve balance, the United States would need a…
Joi Noir Interview
Can you give us a little insight about how Joi Noir came to be? Igor: Olga and I met during my previous music project in Moscow in 2010. I had a day job in Congo and was sharing my time between Africa, Moscow, Toronto and Barcelona where Olga had moved to. Later on she followed me to Congo. Jack was in Africa at the time too. He and I have…
