The Lovers Guide was one of the most important videos created to establish how to properly make love to your wife or spouse. Twenty years in, the guide has been updated (and provided a 3D finish). The two original creators (William Campbell and Robert Page) have been involved in making this dream a reality. Alive Mind has released this title, and has ensured that the title was created with the…
Born out of friendship between Drivin’ N’ Cryin’s Kevn Kinney and The Golden Palomino’s drummer Anton Fier (also with the Feelies, Bob Mould Band, etc.), A Good Country Mile takes the best influences from both and a slew of 60’s and 70’s rockers resulting in an unforgettable slab of Blues-soaked Americana, punctuated beautifully with plenty of harmonica and Hammond organ. The record includes some new material, some inspired covers…
The Netis WF-2404 wireless router provides purchasers with four distinct tools – it is a firewall, a WAP (wireless access point), a switch, and a NAT-router. Setup is simple, as are advanced options – there is a hardware protected setup option that can be turned on with the push of a button. The WF-2404 works at the 802.11n, 801.11g, and 802.11b standards, meaning that one can easily provide the…
Wordgirl is a show that should be required watching for any children aged 6 to 12. This is particularly true with Wordgirl’s latest feature, The Rise of Miss Power. Miss Power (voiced by Glee’s Jane Lynch) is the antagonist during this four-episode story arc and comes forth as incredibly hostile and mean, despite being someone that individuals looked up to previously. Wordgirl is able to defeat Miss Power and…
Tired of screaming your kid’s name at the playground and realizing that every other parent in the neighborhood also had the brilliant idea to name their offspring “Connor” or “Emma”? Then have I got the book for you. Rock and Roll Baby Names by freelance writer, former DJ and music obsessive Margaret Eby is the must-have for that expectant couple with just a slightly better taste in music than your…
Stephin Merritt is able to create a title that both works with the existing Magnetic Fields discography as well as establish a new tack for the band to take. What results with Love At The Bottom of the Sea is a title that will appease old and new fans alike, while adding a different tool to the band’s repertoire. I like the transitory opening God Wants Us To Wait,…
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego is a show that anyone that was alive during the nineties will remember. It was based on a series of computer games that increased individuals’ reasoning skills, and made it through 40 episodes before production wrapped up. The show perfectly straddles the line between education and entertainment; the animation style is absolutely stellar considering the absolutely poor style that was dominant on Saturday…
Pat Mastelotto may just be the most well-known musician that you’ve never heard. Recidivate, eir latest work, looks to change that. With each of the releases’ 42 tracks, Mastelotto shows that ey has a lot to say I the current period. Whether working with members of King Crimson (of which ey is a part), Porcupine Tree, or breaking out some crazy rare tracks, Mastelotto tries to imbue Recidivate with…
On a great many of the albums that I review, the vocals take a back seat to the instrumentation. A Woman’s Way starts off Loren’s latest, Heart First, and showcases that this does not need to be the case. Where the instrumentation is solid, Loren’s vocals contribute the greatest in regards to the overall path that the album takes. C’Est Si Bon showcases the worldliness of eir vocals, as…
I do not usually have much time to read, but Lost at Sea seemed like an interesting title to pick up. A few nights later, and I can proudly say that I have completed the book. This is because Klein’s style is so catchy. While each of the book’s events are amazing in their own rights, I find that the writing style is what kept things interesting. Klein centers the…
Nehedar’s (Emilia Cataldo’s) work on High Tide is hard to categorize. With so many styles, approaches, and sounds cultivated on the whole of High Tide, listeners will never truly know what to expect from the band. After listening to each of High Tide’s 14 tracks, the commonality that strikes me is one of honest and impactful compositions. Where a guitar line may seem out of place during the first few…
For a whole legion of new fans, Johnny Cash is the bad ass guy in black who covered Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode; is on a poster in dorm room walls across the country giving a defiant middle finger to the camera; stood in front of prisoners in Folsom and San Quentin, doped out of his mind, and openly mocked the prison guards during live concerts. And yes,…
I love the fact that independent and micro-breweries have been able to move their beers to cans. The costs can decrease considerably, while the transportation of cans allows for a wider distribution than would normally be necessary. Abita Brewery is one of the companies that have moved towards the inclusion of cans, and I believe that they have succeeded in getting their name out to a wider audience than…
White Rabbits are an act that have been riding a wide of success from It’s Frightening. Milk Famous is the band’s latest title, and is one that sends the White Rabbits in a bold new direction. Heavy Metal is the first track on the album, and it immediately breaks ties with the conceptions that listeners may have about the band. The track is the longest on the album –…
Force Factor Body Rush / Pre-workout / http://www.forcefactor.com We have reviewed a number of different pre-workouts for NeuFutur. However, I believe that there has been a gauntlet thrown down by Force Factor. Their latest effort is Body Rush, a pre-workout that will provide individuals with the energy that they need to increase their weights, duration, and decrease recovery time. The formulation of Body Rush takes advantage of the latest research…
The thrash metal genre has been spinning its wheels for a few years. However, Venezula’s Overhate adds some much-needed polish to the style. Relentless is Our Strength is their latest album, and it pushes the boundaries about what metal (and thrash specifically) can be. The disc begins with When Nothing Is Mine, an utterly relentless sort of track. Each member of Overhate gives it their all, meaning that the…
Justin Stang and Jim Elenteny have known each other since childhood; the music that results from this friendship is some of the most pure and complimentary that we have heard. The duo is a platonic couple; where a husband and wife can complete each other’s sentences, these two finish lines and arrangements. It is this cohesive sound that makes Science! into one of the few acts that we have…
Lissy Trullie is an individual that we have not had the chance to review in the past. We received a copy of eir latest, a 2012-released (and self-titled) LP. I believe that what ey does on this title is imbue a number of distinct music genres with eir unique style. Rules We Obey is a strong track and provides listeners with some semblance of who Trullie is and what…
London River focuses its narrative in 2005, right after the massive terrorist attacks happened in London. The story that is weaved through this film focuses on two individuals – Elizabeth (Brenda Blethyn) and Ousmane (Sotigui Kouyate, in eir last role). Both individuals are on the hunt for their children. While Elizabeth is the typical British inhabitant, Ousmane has come over from France to find any information about what has…
There are few bands out that create rock music. Sure, there are rock radio stations, but I feel that a number of their playlists exclusively deal with metal and more heavy forms of rock. The Villains look to recall the days of Whitesnake, Every Mother’s Nightmare and .38 Special. While the band usually ends up taking the stage with country acts (Montgomery Gentry and Keith Urban, to name a…
