Every TV series creator’s hope is that their show gets picked up by a network. But how bummed do you think the creators of Rogue were when they found out their solidly impressive cop series was getting picked up by DirecTV. Rogue centers on Grace Travis (Thandie Newton), who plays a detective going undercover with a crime boss to ultimately solve the murder of her young son. Newton…
Punk rock has no shortage of super groups and side projects. The big question, after one of these projects surface, is whether it will be an ongoing occurrence (like Me First and the Gimme Gimmes) or a one-off moment in time (like Rumbleseat, the fantastic acoustic folk side project featuring members of Hot Water Music that only put out one full length). Looks like Broken Gold decided to keep…
It would be easy to dismiss Here We Are Now as just one final opportunity for Seattle writer and Kurt Cobain biographer Charles Cross to go back one last time to see if any money was left on the table. But in doing so, you’d miss out on one of the more thoughtful studies on the impact Cobain, and in many cases his scene mates in Olympia and Seattle,…
/ 2014 Self / 6 Tracks / http://www.eluusif.com / https://www.facebook.com/Eluusif / http://soundcloud.com/eluusif Hair Like Skrillex is destined to be a single; the track never takes a breath as it takes listeners on a ride and dumps them abruptly into the next effort, Justin Bieber Is An Android. Justin Bieber Is An Android is a slower, more trance-laded effort that is able to keep the sharpness of the dubstep style while…

In the early 90’s, first through a zine she co-founded and later with her band, she was one of the main founders of the Riot Grrrl movement which gave a much needed jolt to contemporary…
We have not reviewed many web series because the quality of the average show is so spotty. The Louise Log is a show that relies on the situational comedy of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Each clip (we are reviewing “How To Get What You Want”, Episode #36) allows for a further expansion of the motivations and desires of the main characters while allowing the humor to shine through early…
What’s your story? “Well, I have been performing in covers and originals bands professionally since I was about 17 and have always loved singing, playing guitar and writing songs. But even though I knew it was my passion, the practical realist in me would tend to create self-sabotage. I would say to myself, I know you love this but you have to be practical, seriously, it’s competitive and these days…
Michael Stosic is from Reno, Nevada and has created a range of tracks that deftly take up the banners of adult contemporary, country, contemporary Christian music, pop and R&B. This means that listeners will be surprised each time Stosic cuts a new track. No matter how many twists and turns that Michael has in his composition, he possesses the skill necessary to create a cohesive sound that resonates loudly. Stosic…
Miss Lola Overture provides a solid introduction to the Presidential LoveFest EP, allowing listeners in less than a minute to understand where The Van Burens will ultimately go with this release. Tricky Dick will provide listeners with some background about Richard Nixon’s illegal activities (the break-in at the Watergate Hotel). The track builds off of the sounds and styles of the sixties and seventies, blending together rock and funk…
