The drought has past, as the swarm of fabulously delicious new music rolls in. I think we’ve just, officially, entered the summer new music, badass festivals bonanza. First up is Weezer and their long awaited sixth studio release, “The Red Album.” Up next, we’ll be making a swift shift from geeky alternative rock to [...]

Is there a bigger musical event this year than the release of the Metallica album? Could be, but I can’t think of any other thing. They’ve got reclaiming, reconquering, and recreating to do - and that’s no easy job, even for them. After the disappointing not-so-impressive St. Anger, true fans are expecting a return to [...]

Wednesday night was a good day to rock, as Iron Maiden rolled out hit after hit in front of a 12,500 strong  crowd in Concord, CA. “I think there are a few new faces out there,” was how Bruce Dickinson opened up one of the band’s songs. “Some younger people who weren’t even born [...]

As expect Kanye’s back with the 3rh and final version for his forth single off Graduation, “Flashing Lights.” The first two were mediocre at best, but this one’s down right terrible. It’s creepy, badly directed and with no plot or meaning what so ever. Not that a music video should make any sense, but this [...]

The punk pioneers are back, and they’re here to stay for good. Since their tumultuous reunion, The Sex Pistols have stirred up the contemporary punk scene a great deal and have managed to influx a dose of retro, still fresh pure punk rock to their fans. This of course has left the band’s followers asking [...]

We’ve been slaking off a bit with the smilejerker, but we’re back, twice as ugly and tenfold as funny. Today we’ve got something from the movie scene. I guess all of you are all aware of the latest blockbuster, that’s been making a lot of buzz through all media, both traditional (newspapers, magazines, TV, radio [...]
