Buck 65 - 20 Odd Years Volume One + The Lost Tapes DVD

Finally it's here. Signed, sealed and delivered so to speak and with a bit of a cryptic message from the man himself. My evening is saved.

Sage Francis - Best of Times

New video from Sage Francis album LI(F)E.

The Book of Eli

The Book of Eli

Review: When it comes to the action itself, this post apocalyptic movie with Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman is quite watchable. But the right wing storyline itself that says that the Bible is the saviour of the world is really quite nauseating. Or as one critic said: At last, an action movie even the Pope can love.

Kristoff Krane - Hunting for Father

I've been following Kristoff Krane these last couple of years. First as a member of Face Candy and Abzorbr, and then as a solo artist. He's done some good stuff, but nothing that really got me going too much. This spring he's released 2 solo albums, Hunting for Father and Picking Flowers Next to Roadkill. Both are really good, but I must say that Hunting for Father is the better one. You'll need to check it out!

Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict

Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict

Review: You have to see this one! This documentary is about Ben, a heroin addict and his last 2 years alive. What's interesting is that it basically consists exclusively by his own filming. It's a very captivating and strong documentary that really shows the brutal truth about heroin abuse.

Bomarr - Strugglebus

New video from Bomarr from his upcoming album.

Soundtrack of the Week 22

Ira Lee - More Amazing than Crazy E.P.

Here's some free stuff that you all need to check out! Ira Lee, one half of Little Eskimo Jesus (who made the best album of the year so far), have released a brand new E.P. today. More Amazing than Crazy E.P. is available for download here.

Youth in Revolt

Youth in Revolt

Review: Sure. Everyone thinks that Michael Cera is really charming when he's playing the awkward young teen that is both geeky and sensitive. I do too. But how many roles like that can he really play? Here he's doing that role again in the movie version of C D Paynes books about Nick Twisp. Sure, it's a bit charming and sweet, but it's also quite boring really.

Ira Lee - All the Places We Did It (feat. Linakim)

Spanking new video from Ira Lees album My Favorite Songs by Me.

Big Rig

Big Rig

Review: Second movie today by documentary film director Doug Pray. He did Hype! and the superb movie Scratch. Here's a film about truck drivers. It might sound really boring, but it is actually quite captivating. And with a soundtrack from Buck 65 you can't really go wrong.

Hype!

Hype!

Review: Ok, but too dated to be really interesting.

Dutch - A Bright Cold Day


Dutch - A Bright Cold Day

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. After singing Stoupes grace just the other day I have to admit that he's not perfect. I've been looking forward to Dutch debutalbum ever since I first heard about it. Dutch is Stoupe and singer Liz Fullerton. I was curious as to what moody soundscapes he could come up with this time. I must say it's not very interesting at all. I don't know, but I get the feeling of a James Bond titletrack all too often actually. Yep, I'm disappointed.

Rating: 2/5

Metropia

Metropia

Review: Don't really know what I think of this movie. Its animations is sure cool and have a nice feel to them. I also like the choice of voice actors for it, such as Vincent Gallo, Juliette Lewis and Udo Kier. The story however is really quite weak. Too bad since it had great potential.

The Wolfman

The Wolfman

Review: Better than expected. But I think a lot of it has to do with Benicio Del Toro. It's worth checking out I guess, but at the same time it's no loss if you don't.
