Star Wars Art: Posters (Book)
Admittedly the appeal for this book is a little narrow. That being said, if you’re a Star Wars fan, My God, this coffee table is nirvana between two covers! John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com

The Wonder Years – The Complete Series (DVD)
Nostalgia junkies rejoice, Star Vista Entertainment has just released a mammoth 26 DVD set of The Wonder Years, arguably the best family dramedy to surface in the late 1980s/early 1990s. John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com
The Detroit Institute of Arts
The Detroit Institute of Arts is gargantuan; a labyrinthine building that houses some of the world’s greatest treasures. This does not only mean that works from the old masters nor those modern American and European artists, are the balance of what is present here – this means that there are considerable ancient and more recent artifacts that one can spend the better part of a day visiting.

DualPro Shine for Moto X Case
The DualPro Shine case for Moto X is one of the most durable cases that I have ever used for a cellular phone. The case has two elements to it. The first part of the case is a very form fitting rubber that is under the outer case. This snug fit ensures that the case can take any sort of damage rather than the phone.

Rap Protein Gummies
Rap protein gummies are a based protein supplement as the name may suggest. However unlike many protein containing supplements and other products, rap protein gummies actually taste good. Many individuals remember fruit snacks from when they were children; they will be very familiar with the flavor profile of Rap Gummies. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur as Sargeant, is the founder and editor-in-chief of NeuFutur Magazine, where he has covered independent…
Thorinder Review
We received a Thorinder in the mail a few weeks ago. We were able to utilize it and had a few thoughts about the product. This Thorinder is painted, or powder coated, with a very catching powder black color. There is a clear top to the Thorinder lid ensuring that individuals can see the plant material be ground and disappear into the lower levels of the grinder. This Thorinder has…
Not the Life it Seems: the True Lives of My Chemical Romance
Let’s get this out of the way up front: yes, it does seem odd that someone has written a bio on a band that was around for just over a decade; and a band that is (rightfully or not) maligned for their connection to the watered-down nu-Emo genre (I actually think a lot of the criticism is misdirected as the band were closer to Glam than they were Emo). It’s…
2Four & DJ Majestik Intergalactic EP Review
Lockdown features Charlie Rose is a perfect blend of hard-nosed EDM and club-ready R&B. The tracks’ production is at such a point that a DJ could easily sneak it into a set alongside major-label performers while still keeping the momentum and energy high. Charlie Rose’s vocals are a blend of Gorilla Zoe and The Game while still possessing a unique quality that pushes the track to an entirely new plateau.…
Logan’s Roadhouse – Canton, MI
The overall decor of the Logan’s Roadhouse was one that was brightly lit, while the decor really matched the overall cowboy / western theme. Once we were seated the waitress provided our drinks immediately. The service was incredibly fast with a number of stops by the table to ensure that everything was to our liking. We placed our order and within a few short minutes our appetizer came out. The…
Oasis – (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? [Chasing the Sun Edition]
It’s a year short of the album’s 20th anniversary, but I’m sure Oasis fans will forgive the transgression now that (What’s the Story) Morning Glory is getting a proper three-disc deluxe roll out. John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com
Tony Levitas Black Sky Blanket CD Review
Take This Love is a track that builds upon the work of seventies rockers and provides listeners in the current era with something rich and meaty to bite into. The overall production of the track is solid enough to let the vocals, drums, and guitars ample opportunity to shine alone and as a cohesive unit. The cogent sound of the tracks on Black Sky Blanket really speak to Levitas’ ability…
Deja Mae Wicked Games Single Review
This EDM and trap – inspired cover of The Weeknd’s single is given a new lease on life. The heavy, dark sound of the instrumentation provides a solid backbone upon which Deja Mae can build. The production allows the vocal and instrumental efforts ample opportunity to shine, all while creating a cohesive and comprehensive feeling to the cut. The echoing, haunting vocals of Deja Mae will stick with listeners long after…
Jayne Ava March Single Review
There is a skillful blend of pop, EDM, and R&B styles that will appease fans of Britney Spears, Ke$ha, and Lana Del Ray. March is a track that will keep listeners on the dance floor, with a backing back that links together rap, dubstep, and European dance styles. There are a number of twists and turns that are presented during this track, making for a much more fulfilling experience than…
Alvin Harrison, The 99 EP Review
Rough Times in America is a soulful track that resounds loudly even after the track ceases. A smart production allows each constituent element of the track to shine, meaning that the bass, drums, and multiple vocals are provided with ample opportunity to shine separately and as a contributing element. The track is a call to action, building off of the work of artists like Phil Ochs and USA For Africa.…
Lunchbox – Lunchbox Loves You (Vinyl)
After more than a decade off, the Berkley power pop band Lunchbox is back with what is easily their finest collection of songs. A little goofy, but immensely fun, Lunchbox Loves You is 10 indie pop songs brimming with jangly guitars, sing-along choruses and plenty of handclaps. John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com
The Voices of Terror Rock-Rap Dynasty CD Review
I Am the Beast is a track that blends together catchy electronic, rap, and rock styles into something that is an expansion of P.O.D. and Eminem. The sheer quality of the musical arrangements during Rock-Rap Dynasty is hat sets off the title from other titles released this year. Lethal Weapon puts the instrumental side of things to the fore, creating a very quick tempo that keeps listeners on the edges…
Leonard Faraday Interview
Hello, Leonard. Thanks for sitting down with us. Can you provide us a little information about yourself and what you are attempting to do with your music? Hi, thanks for having me! I’d say that the things which influenced me the most growing up have been what I’m trying to capture in my writing and in the stylistic choices I’m making in the music. I’ve always loved album-oriented rock, the…
Gimme Indie Rock: 500 essential American Underground Rock Albums 1981 – 1996 by Andrew Earles (Book)
Poor Andrew Earles. In, Gimme Indie Rock, his impressive new reference guide to Indie Rock, he managed to target a book squarely at the same crowd that will devour it in one reading, then spend endless hours online bitching about the records that were and were not deemed “essential.” John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com
Leonard Faraday Foundation CD Review
Foundation begins with She Hides Away, a track that touches upon progressive rock, alternative, and harder forms of music. The production is such that the dfferent elements of the tracks – guitars, drums, and vocals – are able to shine on their own as well as contribute to a very cohesive sort of opening. Awake begins with a very spacy / fuzzy guitar and shuffling drum beat before Faraday’s Zevon…
Anie Lovekill EP
The titular effort on the Lovekill EP is a complex unity of synth-pop, The Anniversary, Say Anything, and Matt and Kim. The track is very dense and filled to the brim with different vocals, instruments, and arrangements. Amongst all of this material something honest and beautiful is created, with the introductory track dovetailing nicely into Honey. The more authoritative and emotionally heavy arrangements here showcase the instrumental side of the…
