Azza Genesis 9000 Reversible Full ATX Tower

The vast majority of towers are mere boxes for the more valuable parts that are contained within. However, the work that has been put into the Genesis 9000 makes this into a tower that any system-builder should purchase. Available in White or Black, the Genesis 9000 contains the options that one needs to ensure that their arrangement works. This means that there is more than enough room in this…

American Pickers – Volume 4 (DVD)

“Pickers” Mike Wolfe and his buddy Frank Fritz drive across the country, mainly the south and California, looking to buy hidden antiques crammed in dusty garages, basements and attics in the fourth installment of this popular History Channel reality show. Though still entertaining, this duo starts to grate this time around (most likely thanks to weasely Fritz), as you realize the duo is likely taking advantage of these small town…

Axe Anarchy Body Wash

Anarchy is the first Axe product that has been released for both males and females. Unlike many unisex products, I feel that the Anarchy fragrance is distinctive and versatile enough to provide a different fragrance for males and females. The female Anarchy continues with the same bold Axe feel that has marked the brand, but with a slightly more moderate feel. We at NeuFutur were particularly fond of the…

Zubaz Pants (Purple/Gold)

Zubaz are back in a strong fashion. I personally remember the last time that they were omnipresent around the neighborhood, but they have gotten back into the public site due to individuals like Lil Wayne rocking them. I feel that they serve a number of different uses. For those individuals, the oncoming autumn makes Zubaz necessary. After a workout or just to warm up one’s car, throwing on a…

Warlock: Master of the Arcane (PC Game)

Strengths: Warlock: Master of the Arcane has a tremendous amount of different units, all with considerable flavor components. The ability to gain different buildings / units through conquest is incredibly fun, and will have players starting a minor war just to take a border town. The ability to send forces through portals to different planes made the map considerably larger than it would normally seem. While I struggled to keep…

Sven Sundberg – 4 Seasons of Bliss (CD)

Sven Sundberg begins his 4 Seasons of Bliss with In Your Love. This track is a perfect introduction for those that have not had the chance to introduce themselves to Sundberg’s music. The piano is able to come forth with emotive authority, and provides listeners with a narrative that is richer than many efforts out there. With this introduction, Sundberg is able to collect fans from far and wide. Spring…

Guano Padano 2 (CD)

Guano Padano immediately kicks things into high gear on 2 with The Last Night. This introductory track sets the stage for what the band will create on the later registers of the album. There is a significant amount of cohesion from this initial track to Zebulon. After getting everyone interested, One Man Bank showcases a Guano Padano that can create something that is earthy and utterly distinct. The act…

Judas Priest – Screaming for Vengeance 30th Anniversary Edition (CD/DVD)

Break out the leather and metal studs because Screaming for Vengeance, the Revolver of heavy metal, is finally getting a proper re-release for its 30th anniversary. The 1982 album, the eighth for metal royalty Judas Priest , found the band topping their last great record British Steel, finding a solid balance between writing catchy, accessible songs while still keeping the dangerous metal kids happy (well, relatively happy. Those kids…

Snarling Badger (Berliner Weisse)

Snarling Badger is a “Berliner Weisse” in Grand Teton’s Cellar Reserve Series. The yellow / orange initial pour opens up to a thick white head. The beer itself straddles the line between fruit and wheat, with a little bit of peach and lemon to be had at the nose. The decision to place the ABV at 7.5% allows for a much more complex beer than many of its ilk.…

Deep Purple – Total Abandon Australia ’99 (CD)

Total Abandon Australia ’99 is a stellar live recording of Deep Purple. The live recording seems like a greatest hits, as the band authoritatively ends with Smoke on the Water and Highway Star. The crowd is raucous but adds considerably to the overall authoritas of the performance. The band sounds larger than life, while the amount of time that they have spent on the road by 1999 makes these tracks…

Conair FB52 Hydrotherapy Spa Foot Bath

FB52 Hydrotherapy Spa Foot Bath is a value-priced (around $40-50) product from Conair. It provides an incredibly pleasurable experience, along with a number of different options for users. There are three different water options (high, low, or bubbling) that can remove tension and foot pain. Microban technology is used to ensure that the water used in the FB52 is free from microbes and mold. The only drawback that I…

Hung: The Complete Third Season (DVD Set)

Hung: The Complete Third Season (available now on Blu-Ray and DVD formats) captures the final 10 episodes of the show. During this season, Ray and Tanya have to expand the scope of their business. By the time that the show’s finale (“The Whole Beefalo”) ends, the status quo seems destined for a shakeup. The closing episode does conclude things nicely, but I feel that the story of Tanya, Ray, Sandee,…

Art Garfunkel – The Singer (CD)

The sheer depth and breadth of Art Garfunkel’s career is substantial, and this compilation acts as a starting point for those that are too young or were otherwise unable to pick up Garfunkel’s music up to this point. Eir largest hits – Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Sound of Silence – are presented alongside lesser-known tracks. I find that the later registers of the disc – the first…

Spokanarchy! (DVD)

Unless you called Spokane, WA home in the early 80’s you’ve likely never heard of a single band that appears in the quirky indie documentary about the local punk scene in the middle of nowhere Pacific Northwest. Hell, even if you lived your entire life in Spokane you’ve probably never heard of these bands and that’s part of the appeal. Spokanarchy! Takes a look back at the tiny punk rock…

Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever By Will Hermes (Book)

There are bookshelves crammed with tomes about the origins of punk rock and just as many, if not more, about how hip-hop first began. It’s refreshing then that Will Hermes, a long time music critic, manages to cover both genres as well as disco, salsa, jazz and other aspects of the music world from his unique perspective growing up in New York in the mid 70’s. Love Goes to Buildings…
