Buying Pianos Purchasing a piano should be seen as the time when a family can be said to truly have achieved success. I believe that even beyond its desire as a status symbol, it provides a considerable amount of gravitas to wherever one is living. There is a company that can create Rebuilt Steinway, ensuring that the [...]

Spunji – Rock This! (CD) Judi’s vocals are hard to get into, being simultaneously shrill and gruff, much like Apocalipstick’s lead, Jackie. If one can imagine it, “Rock This” is an ideological, harder sequel to the soundtrack to “Josie and the Pussycats”, which actually makes sense since the individual who was mainly responsible for “Josie’s” tracks was Kay Hanley [...]

America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t by Stephen Colbert (Book) The reason Bill O’Reilly is so annoyed by comic actor Stephen Colbert is because he has managed to not only pull-off a perfect homage to the conservative blowhard, but found a way to be incredibly successful at it, with a popular talk show on Comedy Central, a DVD and a series of books. This summer [...]

Split Habit – Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (CD) Split Habit is an interesting band. While the first track on “Put Your Money”, “Rebel” is a perfect bowdlerized and mollified version of the original pop-punk mold of the Ramones, “City Girl” is a dangerous mix of frat-rock and an extensive Weezer CD collection. However anemic this track is, the sheer fact is that [...]

The Kicks – Tonight Changes Everything (CD) First off, how is there not another band so far named The Kicks? Secondly, the latest full length from The Kicks is unabashed melodic rock just begging for a stadium. The Nashville band cites everyone from Queen and Aerosmith, Springsteen and the Foo Fighters as influences, but in addition they also sound a bit [...]

NRG-X Labs Sublime Whey NRG-X Labs has continually created supplements that are heads and shoulders above similar efforts by other companies. It is not surprising to see that their whey protein – Sublime Whey – is another strong addition to anyone’s supplementation. The Sublime Whey is dosed out in 33 gram scoops (two-thirds of that is protein), and [...]

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (Playstation 3) Atlus is the first gaming company that has released a Sherlock Holmes-based titles that is good. Previous games (2010’s vs. Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened) were pretty sad; the sheer immersion factor that is present in The Testament of Sherlock Holmes will have players locked in to the game for tens [...]

Dungeon Command Tyranny of Goblins Tyranny of Goblins is a great addition for players of Dungeon Command. This sub-$40 set contains a wide array of miniatures that can be used as graphical additions to any Dungeons & Dragons command or as a new force to go against Dungeon Command players. Wizards has added enough twists and turns to Tyranny [...]

Pearl and the Beard Supporting Ani DiFranco Pearl and the Beard is a stirring mixture of three voices, one cello, one guitar, one glockenspiel, one melodica, several drums, ninety-six teeth, and one soul. Following the release of the their sophomore album Killing The Darlings, the band has toured tirelessly: loving to perform live and connect personally with fans. Pearl and the Beard’s energized [...]

EPHEL DUATH recording new album The 6th full-length album from progressive/avant-garde metal band EPHEL DUATH will be released in spring 2013 via AGONIA RECORDS. Album title as well as album art have been set and will be revealed later this year. The follow-up to this year's On Death and Cosmos EP will introduce a line-up change in the rhythm section. [...]

Spitfire – Self-Help (CD) I was just about ready to discount Spitfire as one of many of the hardcore bands on the scene until the band really got into their own groove. In fact, Spitfire is a furious ac that really takes part in some of the noise that their website alludes to; the scintillating rhythms of the [...]

Spitalfield – Stop Doing Bad Things (CD) Spitalfield seems to have a lot more coherent effort with this album that they didn’t have the ability to have with their last album. The whole band works together to provide a solid, cogent sound that is at all times radio friendly and poppy, but the question remains whether it is good. Beginning “Stop [...]

MATEO MAKES MAJOR LABEL DEBUT WITH SUITE 823 EP Soulful R&B singer-songwriter Mateo marks his major label debut with the release of his EP, Suite 823, which will be available digitally on October 9th. Grammy Award winner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers (Alicia Keys, Nas, Drake) produced the nine track EP, which includes “Carry On,” “Looking You Up” (a duet with Stacy Barthe), and a stripped-down [...]

Sparrows Swarm and Sing – Untitled II (CD) The disc starts off with what I can only presume is a homeless person rattling on and on about religion. Sure, there is a light form of instrumentation, but this vocal track is a focus of Sparrows Swarm and Sing during the early part of this three-part EP, which clocks in at less than [...]

Pac-Man: The Complete Second Season (DVD) Pac-Man was an absolute force in the early eighties, and the video game spawned a cartoon. The second season of Pac-Man aired through 1983 and contained 16 episodes. This cartoon is a classic, but has not received a DVD release up to this point. After the release of the first season, Warner has continued restoration [...]
