Born Gold – Bodysongs
Gobble Gobble, the Canadian Electro Pop band’s new “Bodysongs” album came out in September under their new identity Born Gold. Whether you’re one of those fitness fanatics taking to the street in too tight spandex winter gear, or the packed subway rider traveling underground between Manhattan and ‘those other boroughs’,...
William Shatner – Seeking Major Tom
Alright, once everyone stops laughing I’ll begin. No seriously get all your yucks and chuckles out now. This is going to be a serious review. Go ahead. Penis! Alright are we done? William Shatner needs no introduction. If you do not know the Canadian actor’s work in the original Star...
Sigur Ros – Inni
It is now time to check in with our favorite Icelandic angels, Sigur Ros. For anyone unfamiliar, Sigur Ros is a post rock band who produces achingly beautiful songs capable of reducing grown men to tears. No, honestly, I wept like a little girl before writing this review. The band’s...
Edsel – The Everlasting Belt Company and Detroit Folly (Reissued and Remastered)

Youth Lagoon – The Year Of Hibernation
It’s telling of an artists’ potential when they have the ability to make their own solo material sound like that of a fully-fledged outfit that has been together for years, and it’s all the more exciting when that talent is a mere twenty two years old. Step forward Trevor Powers,...
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming
My wife once said the greatest thing about M83 was every song sounded like the ending to every great 80′s movie. There is some truth in that sentiment as the French project by Anthony Gonzalez drips a certain nostalgia and starry eyed optimism. The later work of electronic/dream pop act...
Primus – Green Naugahyde
Primus’ reign over the better part of the 1990′s taught us two things. One is that a mixture of funk, metal and general silliness could be made and two, it could be done so well. Even further, we saw it could be done with the support of the mainstream. Looking...
