Lady in the Water review Shymalon In the Water By Christina Armani One of the biggest movies of the summer is Lady in the Water by producer, director and writer M. Night Shyamalan.

Thom Yorke: “The Eraser” review
Thom Yorke: “The Eraser” (XL Recordings) review by Jason Isbell Any mention of frontman Thom Yorke inevitably leads to thoughts of Radiohead, and while “The Eraser” certainly gives insight to his influence and contributions to the envelope-pushing band, it just wasn’t as fulfilling as a Radiohead release. Hopefully, we can all agree that music is at times viewed as art […]
The Devil WearsPrada movie review
The Devil Disappoints in Prada By Christina Armani If you go to see The Devil Wears Prada this summer you may be in for a big disappointment.

Green Day: American Idiots & the New Punk Explosion book review
Green Day: American Idiots & the New Punk Explosion by Ben Myers (disinformation) Book review by Jason Isbell Punk music. It is a genre so full of contradictory dichotomies. The majority of its members often spout musical principles which tend to border on a kind of underground elitism; all the while they thumb their nose at any authority or member […]
Peeping Tom CD review
Peeping Tom—self titled (Ipecac Recordings) Genius, prolific, totally insane… Many are the adjectives used when describing the ever enigmatic but seemingly inexhaustible Mike Patton. And many are the bands he’s been a part of—Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Lovage, and his most recent solo project (kind of) Peeping Tom. However, due to the level on which Patton functions, […]
