#albumoftheday / REVIEW: MEGADETH: DYSTOPIA
Dystopia is album number 15 for Megadeth, the band that refuses to die, which I mean in a positive way. If you read the Wiki pages for the band and this album, Dave Mustaine and company faced some serious hardships while writing and making it. It would have been easy for Mustaine to...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: DUCKY – “Winter Song”
The video for DUCKY's new single "Winter Song" doesn't start off looking like your typical winter, but that's clearly the point. Her EP is called Los Angeles and I believe that's where the video was filmed. ...
#albumoftheday / REVIEW: CONRAD KEELY: ORIGINAL MACHINES
The name Conrad Keely might not ring a bell, but I’m sure you’ve heard his band’s especially unique name once or twice: …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. The band started off in Texas in 1995 and then proceeded to more or less tour non-stop for the twenty years...

#albumoftheday = SAUL WILLIAMS: MARTYRLOSERKING
The wonderful thing about checking out new music is that sometimes, on rare occasions, you come across something so fantastic that you can’t believe you’ve lived your life so far without it. It’s that whole “where have you been all my life” factor, and that’s precisely how I felt the first time I...

RIDICULOUS AUDIO: B.o.B: FLATLINE
EDITED TO ADD: Around 11:30 this morning (January 27th) I was posting a new review and when I reloaded the main page I saw that the soundcloud player for this track was gone, which almost certainly means that it was deleted from Soundcloud. Perhaps he regrets expressing...
HOT NEW VIDEO: COEUR DE PIRATE Feat. ALLAN KINGDOM: “I Don’t Want to Break Your Heart”
I still feel slightly uncomfortable with Coeur de Pirate doing what's essentially mainstream pop after being so fond of her early records, which were mostly her and the piano with lyrics in French, but I will certainly say that this is better than your average, synthy pop song...

"Horns" is one of the best songs from Children of Bodom's most recent album, I Worship Chaos, which is easily one of last year's best metal records. ...
#albumoftheday / REVIEW= PILLAR POINT: MARBLE MOUTH
It’s very fitting that the cover of Pillar Point’s sophomore effort, Marble Mouth, is quite colorful, bursting with sweet red, tangy orange, vibrant yellow, groovy green and electric blue. Plus, a little black thrown in for good measure, perhaps to represent the dark side within all of us. It’s one of those instances...
