Holy smokes! If this were my kid we'd be having some issues right about now. For starters, If my seven year old knew how to post videos on YouTube, his mother and I would be having some words. Second, if the words coming out of this little kids mouth came out of my son's mouth- I don't know, we'd be chatting, loudly.

Brian Cudemo — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:05:29 +0000

There are the characters that you cant get enough of, and then there are the fillers. The ones that are put into a script to make it 90 pages. Here is my list of characters that shouldnt have made it past the rough draft. Mitch – Dan in Real Life It’s hard to find a [...]

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:00:49 +0000

The first taste of Marilyn Manson‘s ‘Born Villain’ is upon us in the form of the album’s debut single ‘No Reflection.’ The prevailing ghostly, otherworldly lore is that if you can’t see your reflection in the mirror, it means you’re dead or a ghost. That ideology can be applied to Manson and his career, with [...]

Livan's "Off The Grid" Album Review

Jennifer Beaudoin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 04:51:37 +0000

Four-year-old UK quintet Livan came into my life a week ago today. They were lucky enough to open up for Alice Cooper at The Palace Theatre, along with eight other locations. I've already described them in some detail in the review blog, but I did not mention their third studio album, Off the Grid, which came out last year. In four years, the band have created three albums- that's pretty impressive, and proves how talented and ambitious they are, and it shows in this album.

BJ Ragone — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:44:06 +0000

Queens, New York City's newest rock quartet Eve to Adam, released their debut album, Banquet for a Starving Dog, on September 13, 2011. I've given it a thorough listen and am impressed.

Jane's Addiction's "The Great Escape Artist"- Album Review

Jennifer Beaudoin — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:26:49 +0000

LA-based quintet Jane's Addiction have certainly had their ups and downs since they formed in 1985. They've gone through a number of band members and years of non-existence, as well as some very successful years and coinciding albums. Their newest album, The Great Escape Artist, is the first since 2003's Strays, and with another big time lapse between records, it's inevitable to wonder if this band will last much longer.
