- Supersuckers
Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album captures them live on a random evening, and they blow [...] - Dave Hamilton
- The Redwalls
Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture what it means to rock and roll. And I don't mean [...] - Dave Hamilton
- Mystics Anonymous
Mystics Anonymous is the brainchild project of Jeff Steblea, a fantastic songwriter and good friend of mine, as well. In fact, I even played the drums on all but one of the tracks on this album. Jeff's songs and melodies will catch you right off the [...] - Dave Hamilton

- Brian Eno
In his first proper solo release since 1996's relatively cold "The Drop," Brian Eno has constructed a whimsical and ecclectic masterpiece which is arguably one of the year's strongest records thus far. "Another Day on Earth" hits the ground running with [...] - Dane Blanchard

Review - Bejeweled 2 for iPhone
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 10:30 AM - by

It adds new wrinkles to what was already an incredibly enjoyable game without detracting from what made it so enjoyable in the first place. ...more...
