    Sátántangó – Movie Review:

    Directed by Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr and released in 1994, the seven-and-a-half-hour-long Sátántangó, based on the novel by László Krasznahorkai, is the very definition of a slow burn, but so too is it a completely rewarding piece of arthouse cinema.     ...

    Iggy And The Stooges - From K.O. To Chaos Review:

    This eight disc boxed set, made up of seven CDs and one DVD, gathers together all of the Iggy And The Stooges releases that have been released over the years from France’s Skydog Records, including the infamous Metallic KO album from 1976 and the two complete shows that that album was culled from, in addition to a nice selection of rarities, live tracks and assorted bits and pieces from throughout the Iggy Pop and The Stooges’ long and sordid career.

    Here’s a look at what you’ll find on each of the discs in the collection.

    When the riotous, confrontational 'last ever' Iggy & the Stooges gig Metallic KO was issued in 1976 on the French indie Skydog label, it heralded the punk     ...

    Hey, remember concerts? Concerts were fun. Covid-19 has kind of completely fucked concerts for the time being, who knows when we’ll get to enjoy live music again, so with that in mind, why not relive past glories through pictures of concerts from days past? Let’s do it!

    A mere seven months ago (it seems like an eternity at this point), the modern day version of Pentagram cruised through Brooklyn to play a show on June 19th at the Knitting Factory in Williamsburg. This was kind of a big deal because this small American tour     ...

Covid-19 has kind of completely fucked concerts for the time being, who knows when we’ll get to enjoy live music again, so with that in mind, why not relive past glories through pictures of concerts from days past? Let’s start this off with some pictures and very, very fuzzy memories of the time Electric Eel Shock played Sabala’s in Portland, Oregon, way back on July 11th, 2006. Fourteen fucking years ago.

    Anyway, here’s a good rule to live by: if you like rock n roll and Electric Eel Shock grace your town with their presence, you should go see them. By all means, sit it out if you don’t like rock n roll, because if you     ...
