A months back when our pals Man Factory released the much anticipated Street Fight! Round Two-- the second installment in their planned three-part power pop opera based around characters from the popular video game franchise--we got to chat with the boys for another site . Much like The Beatles' first trip to America their answers to our questions were often filled with half-truths and humerus witticisms, so when they mentioned back in March that a creative arts school was interested in turning Street Fight! into a full blown live theater act to be performed [...]

I feel like I once again need to justify the odd choice for album of the week this week. Euphoria Morning is 9 years old, but I have been relying on it lately more than ever to maintain my sanity.
