I presumed that Blow Up Hollywood would be considerably different than what ultimately is the norm on “Take Flight”. “RKK” is the first glimpse that we as listeners have into the mind’s eye of Blow Up Hollywood, and this 90-second track covers considerable musical ground. An atmospheric composition, “RKK” acts as the gateway into “Take Flight”, providing a sample to curious listeners for how the rest of the title will…
“Leavin’” is a light-spirited, bouncy type of track that represents a perfect introduction to Puglisi’ “Goodbye New York”. With a set of strings working above the hubbub created by his vocals and backing band, what results is something that spans numerous genres and styles. By the time that this four and a fourth minute track finishes up, listeners that may not have been too familiar with Puglisi’s work will be…
“What A Night” is the first track that listeners will hear when they put in the eponymous CD, and what issues forth is a blend of Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco that showcases equal amounts spirit and talent. Westin’s vocals match perfectly the guitars, drums, and pianos laid down by her backing band. What results with this introductory salvo is nothing less than a single that should garner heavy play…
Chicago’s infamous “corporate grindcore” outfit HEWHOCORRUPTS are no stranger to weird releases: having formerly issued a credit card sized CD housed in a wallet, a NSFW split calendar, an EP packaged with shredded money, etc… but THIS one takes the cake. “Midi of Profits” is what it’s called, and a 1gb USB rubber bracelet is what it is. That’s right, Robotic Empire has released a rubber USB bracelet with MIDI…
ER proved years ago that it’s not always the actors that make the show. With the exception of maybe Law & Order, no other drama managed to be as successful as ER was with a revolving door of actors. John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com
I’ll readily confess up front that I call bullshit on the entire premise of Paranormal Cops. But my cynicism aside, there is no denying that this realty show is immensely fun to watch. The series features a crew of real Chicago cops who use their investigative and forensic experience to look at alleged hauntings across the state in their free time. Forget needing to actually believe in ghosts, the real…
When I first saw Puzzle Agent, I had a good feeling. Coming from the same studio that gave the world the generally loved Sam and Max series (TellTale games), Puzzle Agent is a point and click adventure game designed around the graphic novels of Graham Annabelle. This first episode is a pilot, and from here Telltale will decide whether or not the series will continue. Perhaps the games biggest challenge…
Nathan Gray has decided it was time to reinvent the scrambled, jumbled, and sometimes infuriating pass-time that is dominated by scrabble and it’s clones. Putting words together for point value on a board is nothing new. In fact it’s been done for quite sometime, but it has almost always been done on a square grid board with only two directions to choose from. Hexalex brings a new twist to the…
Lynch Mob is getting ready to embark on a summer tour in support of their current release “Smoke and Mirrors” on Frontiers Records. The band line-up for this tour consists of George Lynch (shred master), Oni Logan (vox), Michael Devin (bassologist) and Brian Tichy (time-keeper). After seventeen long years singer Oni Logan and guitar wizard George Lynch found their way back together and again show their amazing abilities in some…
NYC band Julius C doesn’t go on the kind of tour most bands go on. For the last several years, the band has spent the hot months touring summer camps. Band leader Jay Stollar developed the “Rock Star Camp” program to bring more arts activities to summer camps after spending his youth hoping for such an experience. Five years into the program, the band is now sponsored by the Crocs…
In 2009, TNT’s cop drama Dark Blue quietly flew under the radar while paint-by-number police shows on the major networks got the lion’s share of the publicity. Thankfully TNT has the patience to let their shows mature and ordered a second season. The series centers on Carter Shaw (Dylan McDermott), who heads up an undercover unit for the LAPD. His crew includes a trio of brooding young cops and while…

The Gallagher brothers are assholes. That’s not exactly news to anyone, but I wanted to get that out of the way up front. Yes, they thought they were God’s gift to music listeners everywhere and wanted the world to know it. Yes, they were slavishly devoted to recreating The Beatles sound on every single album. And yes, despite millions of fans around the world, the brothers were hated with just…
Go Radio will be heading into the studio this August to record their debut album. The band will be recording with Tim O’Heir (The All-American Rejects, Hot Rod Circuit, The Starting Line, Say Anything) for their first full-length, slated for an early spring 2011 release. The band is currently on the road with The Dangerous Summer, and kick off their tour with Secondhand Serenade, The White Tie Affair and Runner…

HBO has managed to make an entire TV show out of a guy with a huge wang. John B. Moorewww.neufutur.com
Q:What’s your story? How’d you fall into music? Well, my parents tell me that I used to sing way back when I was three years old. The farthest back I can remember is singing in the talent show in first grade. Everyone always told me that I had a beautiful voice; it makes other people happy, I love doing it, and it’s really my passion. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur…
App developer Engineous Games has done something very awesome and interesting in a retro sort of way. I’m of course talking about the game entitled Sketch Nation Shooter. The game is an old school 2-D shooter game with an equally cool and retro twist. The game features good game mechanics, decent albeit hand drawn graphics, and a few really cool extra features.
