Standing stage left to Bruce Springsteen for the past three decades, E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons has had the opportunity to take in life from a unique advantage as a member of perhaps the greatest American rock band. In his wildly entertaining memoir, written with the help of his best friend Don Reo (creator of “My Wife and Kids†and a number of other sitcoms), Clemons manages to share…
It’s been a few months since we have had the chance to go and review an issue of Slug, and one simply cannot come back to a greater blend of different approaches, styles, and subject material. This ensures that readers will be able to keep interested in what Slug’s staff has to say, while checking out the different advertisements that are spread out at good intervals in this issue. “Dear…
My Effortless Brilliance is a throwback to early/mid-90’s Indies like Daytrippers and Walking and Talking – engaging characters, simple plots where not much happens, but the dialogue is refreshingly honest.
You gotta love an indie band that doesn’t try to coat their pop songs in faux hipster swagger. Seattle’s Boat – unlike many of their trendy indie brethren in the Pacific Northwest – play straight up pop rock and the result is fantastic. On Setting the Paces, their third full length, the group delivers 14 tracks that would make Cheap Trick put down their double-necked guitars and start taking notes.…

There are only two players to the different elements heard on “Dust & Tearsâ€. When an individual has the ability to hear exactly what sort of dense and detailed sound issues forth from their speakers during “Dust & Tearsâ€, they will be amazed. McGuire himself takes on the vocals, bass, guitars, and drums, while Donnie LaMarca takes the strings and the piano-type instruments. “Breathe†is the culmination of these two…
For those that have been able to try out some of the various efforts by Barefoot Bubbly, they understand that the company is able to put together some amazing efforts at a stellar price. However, they may not know that there is a new type of Barefoot Bubbly – Moscato Spumante – that will be tickling drinker’s throats all through the end of this year and into 2010. This (very)…
If you needed any further proof that TV executives are little more than sadistic puppet masters who like little more than to tease us with what might have been, look at the career of Andy Richter. After leaving Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Richter made the bizarre, but extremely funny Andy Richter Controls the Universe. The show was smart and original, so obviously it was cancelled after one season.
We have had a few shots at the different offerings by Mathilde in the last few months, and we wanted to save one of the best for last. This is their Blackcurrant Liqueur, a spirit that may seem to be a little viscous compared to other similar liqueurs, but is in reality a dark horse, with a specific quality that individuals would not necessarily expect out of a similar colored…
Motorstorm: Arctic Edge is the third in the Motorstorm line, and it represents a transition for the title that may either save or wreck the series. The previous two Motorstorm titles were on the Playstation 3, while Motorstorm: Arctic Edge takes a step back and allows players of the PSP and the PS2 a chance at the franchise. The amount of vehicles players can use (24) and the differentiation of…
We here at the NeuFutur HQ have had some great Rieslings and similar varietals in the last few months, but I feel that the ’07 Chenin Blanc taken from the Columbia Valley vineyard may just be one of the best we’ve had. The Chenin Blanc, for casual wine drinkers, is a variety of grape that is versatile as all get out and is planted practically everywhere that is hospitable for…
When The Format announced they were splitting up last year after their epically brilliant, but tragically underrated concept record Dog Problems, it seemed like a horrible waste of talent. Dog Problems, produced by Red Kross’ Steven McDonald with musical arrangements by Jellyfish’s Roger Manning, Jr., was pop rock perfection from start to finish; one of the best power pop records put out in 2007. Taking inspiration from XTC and ELO,…
It’s easy to forget how relevant Willie Nelson still remains, nearly 50 years after releasing his first record. On Lost Highway, his greatest hits collection from the label of the same name, Nelson, turns in 17 already classic country songs. Tunes like “Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me),†“Back to Earth†and his cover of the reggae classic “The Harder They Come†just go to illustrate how relevant he still…
Cliff Eberhardt has been one of those individuals that has been in the periphery for a number of years, but has never gotten the fame or recognition that ey deserves. With “500 Milesâ€, I feel that there is enough present to bring in an entirely new fan base that may yet catapult Eberhardt to stardom. The album starts out with “500 Milesâ€, a song that tells just as much with…
At the beginning of Something Is Killing Tate, it seems as if Tate Bradley’s life is going quite well. This is because eir birthday is coming up, while it is only a matter of time before ey gets married. However, viewers learn that Tate is suicidal, even going as far as to attempt the ultimate solution by the time the movie kicks in. Not wanting to have it happen again,…
“Sugar†is the opening salvo on “R-Me Strongâ€, and it immediately comes forth with a melody that will get toes tapping and fingers snapping. This introduction to “R-Me Strong†shows a band skilled enough to come forth with a style that is classic while making it approachable to fans that may be into newer styles of music. “I’m Your Man†is a track that exists at a number of crossroads,…
Before watching Strip Club King, I had not ever heard of Joe Redner. This film, the latest release from Passion River, looks to explain exactly whom ey is and why ey is important. Essentially, Redner is the owner of The Mons Venus, a strip-club that stands at the head of the accomplishments that ey has created over the course of eir life. The story told by Strip Club King is…
John Ortved’s carefully researched and entertaining behind the scenes look at one of the most beloved TV series works primarily because the author is such a big fan of The Simpsons. How do you know he has a deep appreciation for The Simpsons? He is willing to admit that the show is not nearly as good as it once was. Simply put, he knows it is cable of being better.
Oh, hyper aggressive hybrid of metal/punk band, do you ever tire of writing the same song over and over again? If you’re Mower, I guess so. Four albums into it, and the Mohawk sportin’ (two members at least), tattooed members of the San Diego hard rock band are releasing their grip on that template a bit. Sure, the themes of partying and violence are still front and center, but Make…
We here at NeuFutur haven’t given eir enough love, but wanted to get the word out to our international readers that MC Homeless is going to tour throughout Europe through the ending of 2008 and 2009, in support of eir 12-inch split with Homicide. Keep an eye out for our coverage of this title, and if you are anywhere near where MC Homeless drops down, go see eir. A tremendous…
