WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: May 18-20

Once again The Avengers can not be defeated. Marvel’s hit superhero movie tops the chart yet again, making more than the three new major releases made combined.

REVIEW: Mewithoutyou – Ten Stories

Artist: Mewithoutyou Album: Ten Stories Genre: Post-hardcore/experimental Label: Pine Street Earlier in the week, I spent some time bemoaning the fact that too many bands had nothing memorable or distinctive about their music, such that they melted all too easily into a growing mass of conformity.

Midway through last night’s star-studded lineup of presenters and hopeful winners, Linkin Park performed their latest single, “Burn It Down.” Having never seen the group live myself, I was left with my […]

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: Asher Roth – Outside

Just in time for summer, the guy who loved college returns with a jam meant for sunny days. Introduced through a strong trap set sample, Roth rides the relaxed beat with his general stoner white guy swagger. Nothing here to raise eyebrows too much, but a solid jam nonetheless. You can stream, download, and enjoy […]
