[MUSIC: Live Review] Omar Souleyman, Richard In Your Mind
Omar Souleyman’s joyful Syrian wedding music? Now there’s a great reason to get out of the house – and when Richard In Your Mind is opening the night, it makes it that much easier.

[ALBUM: Review] Adrift For Days – Come Midnight
For a decade, I’ve stewed on the question: “Where does doom metal go from here?” Too many doom bands have records about dragons, wizards, devil women and bongs, backed by thick, viciously slow, down-tuned riffs with the occasional motorbike sample. These things make it fun, but something new is needed to save the genre from stagnating.

[MUSIC: Album Review] Future Of The Left- Polymers Are Forever
Future Of The Left Polymers Are Forever Remote Control ***1/2 In high school my English teacher tried to strangle the smart-arse kid in the class. What drove him to violence was not just the kid’s obnoxious sarcasm, but how he used his perceptive, cunning intelligence to get under people’s skin. If you admire that type [...]
