In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Ben Shaberman's essay collection The Vegan Monologues is more than a book about not eating animals. Sherman touches on political, social, and environmental issues while recounting his own experiences, always in his humorous yet poignant voice. In his own words, here is Ben Shaberman's Book Notes music playlist for his essay collection, The Vegan Monologues : [...]

S omaCow Media is proud to present ComaSow brought to you by The Fall of Troy . Their newest album is In the Unlikely Event.
I'm a fan of Troy Brownfield's column, and he recently wrote about whether the reunion of Cap, Thor and Iron Man, means that The Avengers will return and the street-level team of "New Avengers" will disband. And Michael Bendis confirmed on Twitter that the Avengers will be cavorting through space soon, giving Troy's theory some ammunition. First off, and I hope Marvel has considered this, if The Avengers does return, I hope it does so with the original series' numbering. Second of all, I can't wait to see how Cap and Iron Man kiss and make up. But [...]
Since its inception, Mukilteo, Washington's very own progressive power trio The Fall Of Troy has attempted to blaze its own infernos of musical wizardry. Their key to success? They use different lighters each time. Each of the band's earlier albums (2005's Doppelganger and 2007's Manipulator ) offered some things unique from most other bands. This is the same case for the trio's newest slice of post-hardcore prophecy, In The Unlikely Event . The Fall Of Troy's trademark erratic guitar shredding, combined with off-tempo and brutally abrupt changes, secures these prog-rock and King Crimson descendants [...]
Bottom, left: Mr. Dent May, folks. Wuh oh, it looks like not even ukuleles can keep one safe from the Obama declared national emergency. This time around the swine flu has attacked the immune system of Mississippi romantic Dent May. He and his magnificent ukulele have been touring with The Fiery Furnaces and Cryptacize. That is, until the menacing H1N1 reared its ugly snouted head. According to his blog , May was forced to cancel a handful of dates; unfortunate news for Hoboken, Northampton, Troy, and Toronto. If you were planning on [...]
Friday, October 30, 2009 I have a confession to make. It isn't an easy one I feel as if it might sully the esteemed opinion held towards me by so many of you, the fantastic readers of Side One: Track One Film. It hurts to say, but I can't keep going along like this, lying. My soul just can't take it. So here we go: Prior to the writing of my column I've seen literally none of the films I talk about. [...]

Another year of (mostly) daily tunes here at Doklands, and I have to say I'm still having fun with this. I considered winding this up after hitting 1,000 tracks because really, how much is there left to say? Glad I didn't, though. Nik Bärtsch's Ronin - Modul 38-17 Miriam Makeba - Jol'inkomo Bishop Allen - Psycho Killer Oysterband - Road To Nowhere MGMT - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) Geoffrey Oryema - Listening Wind The Staple Singers - Life During Wartime The Staple Singers - Slippery [...]

Common Existence Tour pushes Thursday to a whole new level. Not many bands can perform after 12 years the same way they did at their first show. Thursday hit the New Jersey scene in 1997 and released 6 full length albums since, including their most recent album Common Existence . Although the album has been out since the band toured on the Taste of Chaos tour, any Thursday fan could agree that the Taste of Chaos tour didn't feel like a Thursday show. Common Existence Tour [...]
2009 was not a great year for the MLB. Continued steroid scandals, dropping attendance and a notable lack of September drama (unless you consider to .500 teams battling to get shellacked in the playoffs drama), mean that MLB could really use a good October. With flagship franchises like the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers and Cardinals all involved in the proceedings, the stage is set. Below are TSS resident baseball gurus - Jason H. and myself - prognostications on how it will all unfold. ALDS - Boston Vs. LA Angels [...]
