Our mobile site no longer sucks

Until today using our website on your phone was a little less than optimal. But we have fixed all that and going forward everything should render in an easily readable format. Have a look around and if there is anything you notice that isn’t working for you let us know!

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club | Howl

Man what can I say about this album other than it fucking rocks.   Ya it’s a little bit old at this point (2005) but it seems like I tell people about this band all the time and they’ve: A. never heard of BRMC or B. have but never listened to this album.   Now to be…

At first glance aside the Apple logo on the back it would be forgivable to think what you were looking at was a Samsung S-View Flip Cover. I think it goes without saying they share more than a resemblance. However this cover is actually designed for the iPhone. You might find that ironic considering Apple…

Microsoft shows off OneDrive, their rebranded SkyDrive replacement

In the middle of last year Microsoft found itself in some hot water in the U.K. when a court ruled that the name of their cloud storage service SkyDrive had infringed upon the BSkyB trademark owned by British Sky Broadcasting Group. While many assumed Microsoft would appeal the initial ruling and take it back to court…

Back Catalog Blues

I wanted to like Against Me!’s new album. Which if you are familiar with this phrasing, is a hint that the rest of this review isn’t going to be too flattering.
