Due to concerns about the impact of Hurricane Sandy, the Toro Y Moi album listening event in NY will be pushed back one week to the weekend of Nov. 9-11. It was announced last week that Toro Y Moi and Red Bull Music Academy will be teaming up this November to give fans the opportunity to hear his upcoming third album, Anything In Return, more than two months in advance of release…
All Out War is the initial track on Showdown, and it captures in 150 seconds the sheer magnitude of where the band will take listeners through the album. Happy is given an additional minute over this beginning cut, and it is this additional time that allows the instrumental side of Royal guard to shine vis-à-vis the inimitable vocals. Yesterday immediately follows the band’s introduction and is vital in establishing…

/ 2012 Self / 10 Tracks / http://www.garyleewingard.com Seems To Be Raining is a complex and dense track that soars on the interaction between instrumental and vocal sides. There are hints of rock, country, and even John Denver-esque pop that is present during this track. Wingard is able to establish a very contemporary type of sound that is imbued with a wide array of influences and styles. I Really Love…

Men’s One Multivitamin | Women’s One Multivitamin / Rainbow Light / http://www.rainbowlight.com/immune-support-mens-one-multivitamin.aspx I believe that the differentiation between the male and female versions of the multivitamin is shown by the considerable literature on the topic. Rainbow Light has made an all-encompassing supplement that will benefit individuals at different ages, wellnesses, and levels similarly. A whole swath of vitamins is present (A, B-1, B-2, B-6, and B-12; C, D, E, K),…
Las Vegas has watched local Sin City rock group OTHERWISE move their way up from a hometown favorite to national name. OTHERWISE has had widespread radio success with their first single “Soldiers,” which became the first song by an unsigned artist to ever occupy the #1 spot on the Sirius Octane channel. The track peaked at #19 at Active Rock radio and has sold over 75,000 singles to date, making…
007 Legends is stylistically based off of last year’s GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, but the engine has been polished up and made into a title that feels fresh and familiar. The title shines on the differentiation of game play styles that are available to players. There are missions that will have players taken to the limit in terms of defense, assault missions, and even keeping 007 off the radar. The…
Hot Air has so much going on that the track will require listeners to give it multiple spins before they can feel as if they have gotten everything that Time and Energy has placed into it. Whether it is the overall jam feel to the effort, the jazz-influenced drum lines, or the emotive horns, Time and Energy have ensured that there is something for everyone. Breakdown slows things up;…
Starting out their “The Rising Horizon” with a track that recalls both The Nekromantix as well as 45 Grave, the end results of this debut by The Starvation is a retro-rock song couched in the rockabilly tradition. “Purgatory” is a bizarre mashup of Billy Joel, Bright Eyes, and the “goth Elvis” vocals reminiscent of Danzig. What comes to bear throughout a great deal of the disc, and really comes…
You Know I’m Gonna Miss You is the latest track released by 7 Horses, and it showcases an act that can create an effort that is far beyond their constituent parts. The track begins with a lively arrangement that resounds in listener’s hearts and minds long after the track ceases. I feel that the bass is a hidden treasure here, as it provides the perfect counter-point to the vocals…
“Pumpkin” has a “Midnite Vultures” feel to it, making this introduction to “Drowaton” interesting to say the least. “Torts” continues this interesting sound as it brings Starlight Mints into a carnival atmosphere, with little connecting these first two tracks. It is really only during “What’s Inside of Me?” that the band really sets down and comes with a serious approach. Mixing a Fastball style with a piano line that…
There are shelves bulging under the weight of Springsteen coffee table books, so was there really a need for one more? Well, as Streets of Fire proves, absolutely. This book of beautiful black and white photos and accompanying essays, were all taken by Eric Meola at the tail end of Springsteen’s legal battle with his former manager – keeping the singer out of the studio for a year – through…
Much more driven than the two albums that followed it, Staring Back’s “The Mean Streets of Goleta” has an urgency about it, a sense of youthfulness indicative of a time in which those feelings were still allowed. Now, bands are pretty much forced to be individuals reminiscing about this past, while assuming the part of an old sage – The Atari’s “In this Diary” really is a track that…
If You Don’t Know is the first track on Running All Muthafuckas Over, and it immediately showcases that Ramo Dajaneiro is a substantially different rapper than what is currently popular. There is an urgency to each of the cuts here that showcases that he has actually lived what he’s rapping about. The production is crisp and fits the flow, ensuring a rough and ready track that will have listeners focused…
The original Ravnica block was one of the most beloved and powerful efforts present in the pantheon of Magic: the Gathering expansions. The amount of hype that was surrounding this set was incredible, but this first look back at Ravnica lives up to the hype. For those that were not playing during the original Ravnica block, the plane is one massive city, replete with a set of 10 guilds that…
