Seconds Before Landing Interview

Hello. It’s been a while. What has been happening in your neck of the woods? Yes, it has been a while, and it’s nice to be speaking with you again. Everything is fine here.  I’m working in the studio every day, and loving every minute of it.

EB 11 Enjoy The Ride CD Review

All is Fake is a high energy track that ties together hard rock, emotive music, and just enough hardcore chops to make for a track that will resound loudly with listeners long after the cut has stopped. With this goodwill, EB 11 is able to move into System Breakdown. The drum work and sizzling guitar lines that are commonplace during this sound further build on the overall sound of the…

Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys

Rarely has a book title been so accurate. In the surprisingly candid memoir by former Slits guitarist and member of the ‘70s British punk scene inner circle, Viv Albertine offers a compelling look at growing up in the vanguard of the music scene and her obsessions with the music, fashion and, well, boys.

zPizza – 5060 N. High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43214

We were lucky enough to stop by a zPizza location in Columbus, Ohio and ordered the company’s Casablanca pizza. The offering contains mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and ricotta cheese alongside roasted garlic sauce and an additional amount of Parmesan. The restaurant was clean and the wait staff was extremely friendly. We put in our order and were pleasantly surprised to receive it no more than 10 or 15 minutes after finding…

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of the most visible and well known attractions on Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio. The Hall of Fame is jam-packed with ephemera from the last century of popular music. While rock musicians are given the lion’s share of attention at the museum, there are antiques, costumes, instruments and a bevy of other items from gospel, rap, and EDM artists. What results…

Axixic Interview

Hello, Axixic. Your latest album is Dancing On The Moon. What significance does the title hold for you? It’s a metaphor that I carried around for years to describe two contradictory ideas: living in the moment -or- doing one thing when you really should be doing something else. When I came to Mexico to write and record the album it seemed to describe what I was doing so I decided…

Atman Interview

Hello. Your latest EP is Silence is Golden. What significance does the title hold for you? For the majority of my life, I’ve been considered the “quiet one”. I only like to speak if I truly feel I have something to say and contribute to the conversation. For whatever reason, people sometimes hold that against me. The title of the album comes from the idea that my greatest achievements have…

Gianni Bredice Triptronic CD Review

Gianni Bredice  has released Triptronic, an effort that is labyrinthine in terms of the twists and turns that Bredice has placed here. At any one second during the albums, listeners may find themselves up against eighties synth-pop, chillwave, techno, or harder Miami styles. Solar Storm is a perfect microcosm of the distinct approaches that Bredice takes on the 9 efforts on Triptronic, tying together a driving beat with more introspective…

City Light Vigil Rebirth Single Review

Vocals are reminiscent of Tim McIlrath, with an overall heaviness that allows City Light Vigil the ability to hang well on alternative, rock, and college stations alike. The “everything to everyone” aspect of the band is executed well, with specific nods given to a wide variety of genres. This eclectic nature allows City Light Vigil the ability to connect with the largest amount of listeners.

Dandy John Interview

What’s the story about Dandy John? I try to express himself in my very own way, politically not only interested in Swiss Banks, cheese, watches or mountains, but more in general global problems of society such as the ideal of beauty, war, food, ethics, loneliness, literature (I’ve studied English and German Literature – so be happy to find Goethe, Schiller, Shakespeare, Byron and so on in my work). I live…

Vinyl Floor Vaudeville CD Review

Change the Song is a track that links together The Killers and Franz Ferdinand with a rich eighties style that is reminiscent of The Psychedelic Furs or Talking Heads. The rich production of this introductory track will immediately draw listeners in to the second cut, Shift. Shift is a track that has Vinyl Floor strip down their style to adopt a much more front-forward and Detroit rock-esque sound. The quicker…

French Toast Crunch

French Toast Crunch is a cereal that first debuted in 1995 but the cereal was taken off of shelves in 2005. Fast-forward about 10 years and General Mills has heard enough public outcry to release the cereal yet again. The cereal is going to be rolled out at the national level first starting in January 2015 and will run around $3.50-5.00 for a box. The cereal is precisely like I…

Beanfield’s Bean and Rice Chips

There is a sense that tortilla chips are not the healthiest thing to snack upon and that one should have smaller portions when it comes to eating these chips. Beanfield’s has an entire line of chips that look to capture the tortilla flavor and mouth feel profiles and has a wide enough variety of flavors to keep snackers interested no matter how often they eat the chips. Beanfield’s chips are…

GNC Puredge Complete Amino

Amino supplementation is needed for anyone that is looking to maintain the gains that they have achieved while working out. Amino supplementation is necessary no matter the sorts of physical activity which one conducts. The good thing about amino acids is that they work particularly well mixed in a flavored suspension. The new GNC Puredge product, Complete Amino, is a perfect example of this as the tropical punch flavor makes…

Darkness Divided Premiere “Eternal Thirst” Music Video

Devout metal band DARKNESS DIVIDED have partnered with Decibel Magazine to release the latest video for ‘Eternal Thirst’, from their heralded debut album Written In Blood. The release from the San Antonio quartet pushed the experimental envelope and gave the world of heavy music a much needed stir, with a sound so vicious you’d think it was sent from a less-than-heavenly place.

Get On Up Blu-Ray Set Review

The story of James Brown is tremendously interesting if one would choose to read a biography. However get on up is a compelling and always interesting film replete with talented actors no matter whether they are large forces in the Hollywood such as Dan Aykroyd or up and coming stars like Chadwick Boseman (42, Captain America: Civil War). Boseman’s role as Brown showcases all the glitz and glamour and the…

Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever DVD Set

There was a special concert that catapulted a great many R&B and pop singers into the mainstream; that show was blah. However much the show was vital to the creation of some of the most well beloved musical stars of the last 50 years the sheer fact is that it is difficult if not virtually impossible to find copies of the performances that are presented on the show, a feat…

Blue Apron

We had first heard about monthly subscription boxes that provide the required ingredients for a meal a few months ago but it was not until a few days ago when we received our first box from Blue Apron. This is a large box – one could easily use it to pack away stuff for a garage, and it is chock full with the different ingredients that two people will need…
