The Beatles Vs The Rolling Stones: Sound Opinions on the Great Rock ‘N’ Roll Rivalry by Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis (Book)

It may actually be the most important question you ever answer. Forget where you stand on politics, religion, abortion… gun to your head, who do you choose, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? The answer pretty much defines who you are: Are you an outwardly rebellious badass with attitude to spare (The Stones) or are you the seemingly good guy (or girl), accessible to all, who is actually a rebellious…

Looking for Eric (DVD)

Looking for Eric, the British indie import has been billed as everything from “The Next Full Monty” to “The Next Waking Ned Devine,” which is a bit unfortunate. Sure all three are feel good features set in Europe, but the similarities end pretty much there.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (Xbox 360)

There are few game franchises that are able to continually reinvent themselves as are Guitar Hero. This is not done at the expense of previous game play, but each addition to the Guitar Hero line feels as if there just is something new and fresh bubbling just under the surface. When Activision sent over a copy of review, we immediately set the guitar up and began to see what had…

Family Guy: Partial Terms of Endearment (DVD)

Family Guy seems to have a problem with attempting to push the line of what can be accepted and what is not. Where shows like South Park gain the additional benefit of being on a straight cable format (rather than on network TV), Family Guy is on Fox. This additional censoring has ensured that Family Guy has to play it a little safe, save for situations such as this one.…

The Matt Burke Band – Pretty Close To Very Good (CD)

Very rarely do bands come forth with such a vibrant energy and intensity that defines the essence of whom they are and what they set out to accomplish. With tracks like “The Weekend War” and “One Step at a Time”, The Matt Burke Band do just that. “The Weekend War” has a very tropical feel to it that makes the dreary days of autumn melt away. Despite the track’s tropical-shirt…

Gormiti: Lords of Nature (Nintendo DS)

I know I must be getting old. I was not even aware that Gormiti: Lords of Nature was based off a children’s television franchise. For those like me, this does not mean that Gormiti: Lords of Nature is a title that can be slept on. Rather, it represents a black sheep in terms of contenders for the best NDS game of the year. Also released for the Wii, Gormiti represents…

Cheetah Chrome: A Dead Boy’s Tale From the Front Lines of Punk Rock by Cheetah Chrome (Book)

The Dead Boys have always been the Rodney Dangerfield of punk rock. They had the chops, but never really got the respect or credit they deserved for their role serving on the front lines of the New York punk scene in the late 70’s. They shared stages, groupies and drugs with The Ramones, but never quite got the amount of fame that their buddies achieved.

Scrubs Season 9 (DVD Set)

Despite much of the cast leaving the hospital, there are quite a few good things that viewers can see about this season of Scrubs. J.D. (Zach Braff) is still present, albeit in a reduced role as mentor to the new group of doctors at Sacred Heart, Lucy, Cole, and Drew. The dynamics that each of have in regards to each other, the more tenured members of the staff, and even…

Queensryche – Empire 20th Anniversary 2 CD Edition

Just being able to have a new version of one of metal’s best known and strongest albums in a shiny and fresh CD is enough of a reason for individuals to retire their cassette tapes or vinyl. However, Capitol has added an entirely new disc of rare tracks for listeners to sink their teeth into. These tracks were pulled from Queensrcyhe’s November 1990 performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London,…

Blue Mountain State – Season One (DVD)

If you’ve never heard of the Spike TV show Blue Mountain State then you’re clearly not a 14-year-old boy. The half-hour comedy centers around the players and hangers-on of the Blue Mountain State football team The Goats. The humor, though inarguably juvenile, is occasionally funny. Sophomoric sex jokes are par for the course, but when you think about it, a comedy classic like Animal House was built around sophomoric sex…

Boogie Woogie (DVD)

If ever there were a case of the cast making the movie, Boogie Woogie is it. The story is interesting enough, but it’s the all-star cast, some of indie and mainstream films best, that takes the movie from good to great.

Front Mission Evolved (Xbox 360)

We have had the chance to review a number of different Square Enix titles in the time since we began working with them, but I know that I still think of the company as one that publishes RPGs. Front Mission Evolved, a title that was developed by Double Helix Games (Silent Hill: Homecoming, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) is the latest game to have the Square Enix stamp of…

10/02/2010 Show – Kent, Ohio @ Checkers and Trophies (352 W. Elm Street)

It’s been a hell of a long time since I wrote up a show review, so I have to apologize if this is particularly garish. Anyways, Checkers and Trophies is a bar stuck in the middle of residential Kent, and is one of those locations that I have actually never attended before tonight. Learning earlier this week that there was a show at the bar (and a $2 cover at…

The Jesus Rehab: The Highest Highs & The Lowest Lows (CD)

“The Highest Highs & The Lowest Lows” truly begins when The Jesus Rehab gets to “If It Feels Good It Is Good”, a track that immediately defies convention. It simply has something for everyone, whether they are fans of Weezer, The New Radicals, or even Eve 6. The Ben Folds-esque piano turns this track into something that would easily be on rock radio, ensuring the band a spot on the…

Plain Text Review (iPad / iPhone)

This is a test of the App review system. If this were to be a real document, you probably wouldn’t be reading it. It would be locked away in my journal somewhere that you couldn’t find it. SimpleNote, a simple text editing App, claimed little. PlainText, does the same. Hog Bay only claims that the App is easy to use, and will sync up to your Drop Box. With a…
