To the surprise of all, those brilliant bringers of bouncing experimental post-electroskapunkafunkatronica beats, Dash Pow, have announced a brand-new three-part non-musical release. Entitled “Alternate Realities,” the album will be at retail approximately twenty feet from now, and, according to a recent interview with band frontman W. Curry Bartholomew, does contain a continuation of the “Leave [...]
After a long stint in the recording studio (during which they did, indeed, roll the marijuana up and smoke it like a cigarette), the reviled, renowned, and now revisited experimental post-skapunkafunkatronica group The Breadmakers has released their new album; “Haunted by Sourdough-Applesauce”. A partial continuation (non-canonical, they insist) of their previous work, “Leave It, Take [...]
After putting three albums on hiatus (stating no reason beyond “because we felt like it”), Glasses + Mirror have finally released a fourth, previously unannounced title, “Always Something to See.” In this punchy and energetic collection of Experimental Post-Skapunkafunkatronica, the masters of the genre continue to innovate anew, while still hanging on to the roots [...]

Unfortunately, with this most recent game release, he’s sure to hear more than that — including, probably, a few things [...]
He was so unsure, the prince. The worries tugged at his hands, and drew lines on his face. Perhaps he didn’t have reason to worry, perhaps he did; he could never tell one way or the other. It had been so long, he had given up trying to tell. One night (or was it every [...]
Last night I downloaded the demo of Castle Crashers for the Xbox 360. Not too long after that, I unlocked it. Castle Crashers is, at first glance, a delightful, four-player romp harkening to the Sunset Riders, X-Men and TMNT: Turtles in Time arcade games — simple, fun brawling games et al. Never without a sense [...]
The trip home was excellent. If you missed my visit, then you are a chump, and should visit Seattle to make it up. — For those who don’t own an Xbox 360, there’s some wonderful news for you: Braid is going to be released on PC sometime this year. For the uninitiated, Braid is a [...]
