Woody Allen’s latest, ‘Whatever Works’ is a fairly entertaining film suffering from the same flaw as most of Allen’s comedy’s from the last few years, it just doesn’t hold a candle to his past work. Not that it matters, if its by Woody Allen, I’m going to go see it, and chances are, I’m probably [...]
Brüno. What can one really say about this movie? It stars Sacha Baron Cohen, the genius behind Da Ali G Show, and the hit film Borat. You’re either a fan of the humor, or not. I could praise the movie to no end, or damn it to hell, if you like Cohen, you’re gonna see [...]
It’s a tired and worn-out tale, but it’s probably the truth: everyone who is not a rock star wants to be one and most rock stars spend a lot of time trying to just be another guy on the street.

You’d think that after 20+ years in the business of making music that one of his 14 albums would be kind of a dud, but here we are with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds keeping the awe inspiring streak alive with his latest release, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

Billy Howerdel is a lucky man. His career has been a little backwards. In his first band, a little group called A Perfect Circle, he got to work with Maynard James Keenan, Josh Freese, Jordie White, James Iha amongst others.
They were different, but there was something familiar about what they were putting out. They had pop hooks, but also had hip-hop beats. And they had a smash single with the song, “Crazy.” Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 debut, St. Elsewhere took music listeners by storm. There was a point where you couldn’t [...]
At this point, someone should just bottle what Jack White’s got because it works. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that what he does, he does well.

As we reported earlier this week, Nine Inch Nails released their first album free from a recording contract, entitled ‘Ghosts
Volume I-IV.’ Through the release of his previous album, ‘Year Zero,’ Nine Inch Nails
