Piano stores

Piano Tuning Houston is the place that individuals should check out if they would like to purchase a piano. The sheer stock that they have at any one given time far outstrips other piano places that would be in the area, while the price range that this stock possesses is far lower than similar types of stores. I believe that the customer service that is offered on this website is…

Rawhide: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD Set)

  Rawhide was a show that focused on the unique circumstances encountered by cow ranchers during the 1860s. This black and white show contained a more realistic tenor than other shows of its period, as it took suggestions and even employed hands from local ranches. Paramount has released the first four seasons of the show already. Rawhide: The Complete Fifth Season is a dish that is served two ways. One…

Hydraulic Power Units

There are a number of hydraulic power units that are available, but they are omnipresent in all sorts of different farm-based corporations. They are the reason that individuals are able to power all of the implements that they have. The sheer amount of power that these machines can put out is much more than a human or animal could put out, and are focused in to a specific area. Pretty…

American Pickers – Volume 4 (DVD)

“Pickers” Mike Wolfe and his buddy Frank Fritz drive across the country, mainly the south and California, looking to buy hidden antiques crammed in dusty garages, basements and attics in the fourth installment of this popular History Channel reality show. Though still entertaining, this duo starts to grate this time around (most likely thanks to weasely Fritz), as you realize the duo is likely taking advantage of these small town…

Hung: The Complete Third Season (DVD Set)

Hung: The Complete Third Season (available now on Blu-Ray and DVD formats) captures the final 10 episodes of the show. During this season, Ray and Tanya have to expand the scope of their business. By the time that the show’s finale (“The Whole Beefalo”) ends, the status quo seems destined for a shakeup. The closing episode does conclude things nicely, but I feel that the story of Tanya, Ray, Sandee,…

Spokanarchy! (DVD)

Unless you called Spokane, WA home in the early 80’s you’ve likely never heard of a single band that appears in the quirky indie documentary about the local punk scene in the middle of nowhere Pacific Northwest. Hell, even if you lived your entire life in Spokane you’ve probably never heard of these bands and that’s part of the appeal.   Spokanarchy! Takes a look back at the tiny punk rock…

Lisztomania (DVD)

Lisztomania was released in 1975 by Ken Russell (Altered States, Tommy), and features Roger Daltrey as Franz Liszt. This film is incredibly off the wall. As the same director/actor pair that led Tommy to such heights are present here, one should have some idea of what to expect. There is a much more erotic and human feel to Lisztomania. The title, set during the 19th century, focuses on the stratospheric…

Boardwalk Empire –The Complete Second Season (DVD Set)

Steve Buscemi’s Nucky and his corrupt Atlantic City political pals (is that redundant?) are back in the second season of one of HBO’s best dramas. If you missed the first season, adapted by Soparnos vet Terence Winter, stop what you’re doing and get caught up. It’s that good. Season two finds Nucky on the ropes after being betrayed by his brother and his new crew. There is competition in the…

As the third season of this popular realty series about bidding on abandoned storage units comes out on DVD, I’ve taken it upon myself to come up with the Storage Wars Drinking Game. Those who have never seen the show before just sit this one out. You’ll catch soon enough. Here goes: ·         Every time couple Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante toss an insult at each other, take a drink; ·         When the missing…

Sherman Clay

There are a number of different websites that exist that provide individuals the possibility of purchasing musical instruments. I feel that these websites do not provide potential buyers with the logistics that Sherman Clay can.

anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (DVD Set)

  This beautiful box set provides viewers with the full run of anohana, a Tatsuyuki Nagai-directed show that ran through the spring of 2011. NIS America’s box set is stunning and provides individuals with considerable context about how to properly enjoy the show. The hardcover art book provides crisp clips into each of the characters, while one can actually view episode previews as they would be seen on Japanese television.…

Boss – Season One (DVD)

Any fear that Kelsey Grammer would always be locked into his beloved Frasier character is gone within the first few episodes of the remarkably captivating political drama Boss. With simmering tyranny, hidden behind the public mask of the genial mayor of Chicago, Grammer infuses Mayor Tom Kane with a ferocity and vindictiveness that makes Tony Soprano look like… well Frasier. The show, so far the crown jewel of cable start-up…

San Francisco Piano

The average cost of pianos is incredibly large. This means that to purchase the best ones, one will likely have to shell out a few thousands dollars. Multiply that by ten if you are looking for those like The Who, Michael Buble, or Tori Amos use. The price that one has to pay for pianos is even larger when one moves to a place like San Francisco, which has an…

Kasabian – Kasabian Live at the 02 (DVD and CD)

Like Robbie Williams, The Libertines and Klaxon, Kasabian is one of those uniquely British bands that does (and in The Libertines case, did) remarkably well in their own country, but only manage to pull together a small, albeit rabid, following here in the U.S.   Kasabian Live at the 02 – a concert DVD and accompanying CD of the show recorded last December – should serve as proof that they…

Hellraiser: Hellseeker (Blu-Ray)

  The Hellraiser franchise has been one of the few horror series that have continually expanded upon the original mythos while providing tremendously entertaining films. Hellseeker was the sixth of these films, and had not received a Blu-Ray transfer until now. The film starts out with another unlucky soul solving the puzzle box. For those that have not watched a Hellraiser film, this is when the supremely evil Pinhead can…

Sukiyabashi Jiro is a stop for anyone that is truly passionate about sushi. I…
