Beastie Boys Adam Yauch Dies at 47 Adam Yauch , the cofounder of the legendary hip-hop act the Beastie Boys, passed away today after losing his struggle with cancer. He was 47. Known better by his stage name MCA, Yauch’s gravelly voice was the icing on the cake for many Beastie’s classics, perfectly […]
Watch New Cult Video For The Animals Slicing Up Eyeball’s has just posted the new video ‘For The Animals’, the Cult’s new single from their forthcoming album ‘Choice Of Weapon’. I’m digging the new tune a lot. A nice aggressive rocker. The video isn’t blowing me away, but it’s not the 80’s or 90’s anymore. No point […]
Prong Carved Into Stone Review: [rating=5] It’s been almost 6 years since we last heard from Prong. Guest duties in Ministry and Danzig have preoccupied frontman and lead guitarist Tommy Victor and sidelined his labor of love, but now they return with their new album ‘Carved Into Stone’ (out April 24th on Steamhammer/SPV Records). I’m […]
PiL returns with New Album in May. John Lydon’s post punk band P.I.L.

Adios Kenny Powers. ‘Eastbound And Down’ came to its season and series conclusion this week. Do not read this until you’ve watched the finale, otherwise prepare for a spoiler. “Eastbound and Down” is one of the most refreshing and unapologetically dark comedies in ages. It has been so unrelenting in making its protagonist repulsive that it […]
Ministry Relapse Album Review Ministry returns with their new album ‘Relapse’. Was it worth the wait? When Al Jourgensen said he was putting his band on ice back in 2008, it seemed odd. Sure, their output has been sporadic throughout the years due to his internal demons, but Ministry never seemed the kind of band to call […]
Ah, the Mix-tape: We don’t think much about cassettes anymore. They were inherently a horrible medium for sound quality. Every time you played one you’d get audio loss, eventually warped sound, or in the worst case, a snapped ribbon of tape meaning one more piece of plastic chucked in the trash, resting in a landfill […]
Before reading, I suggest checking out the latest “Prometheus” trailer, if you haven’t already, which you can do here. And FYI, I deem this blog spoiler free, but only if you’ve seen all the “Alien” films prior: This looks to be a big (and hopefully great) summer for movies. Two on my radar are […]
