Hustler White DVD Review
Hustler White, a campy, throwback-style piece of queer cinema with nods to earlier art films, manages to defy most common genres. It is not quite an art film, not quite a comedy, and not quite an action movie.

Ransom Price My Kidnap Money CD Review
Radar Contact Lost has tremendous momentum from its onset, created through a wall of fuzz and a set of vocals that take up hints of Screeching Weasel and Green Day. The production is professional enough to let each constituent element of Ransom Price shine, but close and comfy enough to lend an honest and earnest air to the 10 tracks on My Kidnap Money. Fire Escape has a solid guitar/drum…
Song One (DVD)
The Anne Hathaway-starring indie Song One could have been a solid, sweet film if it were not so wrapped up in trying to be too many other things. The movie casts Hathaway – who also produced – as Franny the older sister to Henry, who dropped out of college to be a musician. Franny, who has been estranged from her brother and mom, comes back home after her brother is…

Jessica Lea Mayfield and Seth Avett – 03/18/2015 – Southern Theatre, Columbus, OH
Started the night off at a local hot dog palace for a few wieners and $1 drafts of PBR before walking the swift 2 blocks to the historic Southern Theatre which is awe inspiring as soon as you make it into the interior. It was damn well maintained history and worth the price of admission alone.

OG Penguin Cry CD Review
Life Fight is a dense track that will yield additional twists and turns with each subsequent listen. OG Penguin’s flow during this track links together 2 Chainz, Killer Mike, and Danny Brown into something that is streetworthy while having enough in the way of hooks to keep listeners firmly at the edges of their seats. Say Yea has a slower, Kid Cudi contemplative feel to the effort that creates dynamic…
Xavier Toscano Feels So Good CD Review
Feels So Good is the latest album from San Francisco’s Xavier Toscano, a musician that creates his own unique flair by meshing together a wide array of musical styles and approaches.

Nic Nassuet Interview
What artists possess the greatest influence on your music? I’m sure that the music I listen to has some sort of influence over my mind, which influences what gets written, but I have no conscious awareness of any specific influences.
Don Puglisi and Fall Down Pretty Bubbles of Light EP Review
Bubbles of Light begins with Ricochet Girl, a track that links together the alternative rock of the nineties with a more traditional rock (Tom Petty, Warren Zevon) sound. The production allows each element of the composition to shine separately as well as contributing to the track. The track has a hooky, catchy beat that will bury itself deep into the minds and hearts of listeners. Don’s vocals during this introductory…
Matthew Azrieli Chloe EP Review
Condoms & Razorblades has a tremendous instrumental arrangement that acts as the palette on which Azrieli’s vocals can shine. The vocals on this introductory track do more than please; there is a complex dynamic between Matthew’s voice and the instruments contributing to the track. What is on the surface a very innocuous sort of track is much deeper and varied of a portrayal. Subsequent listens will be necessary to hear…
Denny Diamond Diamond Mountain / Holly Holly Review
Denny Diamond is an emotive and impassioned performer that is able to reach a considerable range while holding listeners’ hands from the beginning to the end of his latest track, Diamond Mountain. The track ebbs and flows to keep listeners firmly planted on the edges of their seats. The narrative that is weaved through Diamond Mountain is compelling and represents one of the many ways that a listeners can enjoy…

Silver Seal Keyboard
The sheer amount of bacteria and dirt that find their homes in a keyboard is astonishing, and the issues when one has a pet or a child only become compounded. For the vast majority of keyboards, one has to go through the tedium of kicking through individual keys or running q-tips through the device for hours. However, there are some serious health concerns that one runs up against in healthcare…
Jay Mizz We’re On Single Review
We’re On is a Jay Mizz track that builds off of the work of artists like Killer Mike and Jay-Z to create something that works perfectly with the past and present of rap music. It is the ability to link together so many different styles and approaches that allows Jay Mizz the ability to make this a hit.
