When I first plugged this disk into my deck just outside of SLUG HQ I was really stoked. “Way Back Home,” the opening track, was crying out for me to roll down the window and jam down 300 West with a grin on my face and an arm out the window. … read more
Review: Twister Chasers
Twister Chasers Mpi Home Video Street: 06.26 Remember that movie Twister? Sucks to be you, doesn’t it? Anyways, Twister Chasers is a documentary about some real live tornado chasers doing their thing during the summer of 2004. Even though these people take great precautions there are still some fairly scary moments when incredible wind and
Review: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl GSC Game World/THQ PC Street 03.20 Before you read the rest of this review I have a confession to make; I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Indeed, the first person shooter (FPS) games are my favorites to play and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. manages to scratch my every itch. I admit that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. does have its share

Call employs everything from oils, spray paints, computers, pencils, acrylic and collage to realize his
Review: Attack Force
Attack Force Michael Keusch Sony Home Entertainment Street: 12.06.06 I’m not sure where to begin describing a movie this crappy. I suppose we should begin with the title; Attack Force.

Localized: The Mugshots
This month’s Localized will feature The Reaper, The Mugshots and opening act Lavish on Friday, Jan. 12 at the Urban Lounge. It’s a show that shouldn’t be missed. The Mugshots “Tell them we like long walks and puppies,” the members of The Mugshots told me. Alright, but after listening to the Mugshots’ new album, On
