Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel Working On New Stuff For A Perfect Circle

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard anything from A Perfect Circle. Around the time Billy Howerdel started his own band called Ashes Divide. In 2006, Maynard James Keenan released “10,000 Days” with Tool and then released his solo album under the name “Puscifer” in 2007. At some point during the time Maynard James Keenan once said that before he was to do anything with A Perfect Circle he wanted to know what the music industry wanted to do in terms of... Read More →

Radiohead’s New Album Coming Out Later This Year

Scrolling around one of my favorite websites out there I got the news that Radiohead is coming out with a new album and on top of everything, it’s coming out later this year. After following the new music business model of dropping the label and doing everything yourself, Radiohead had released their massively successful album, “In Rainbows” by implementing a “pay-what-you-want” system. Let’s just see what they’ll do this time and what they’re album... Read More →

Miami Heat Draft Party

Heat fans across the 305 anxiously await the start of free agency. That week the city will be renamed Miami-Wade County for goodness sake! But we’ve quickly forgotten about the draft. And with the end of basketball season fans should be eager to get any taste of the Heat they can get. Don’t fret. On Thursday, June 24th starting at 6:30PM you can attend the Miami Heat Draft Party at the American Airlines Arena. It will feel good to be back on home court and gladly... Read More →

Cookin’ Soul & Drake say “Thank Us Later”

I become greedy when listening to artists I like and only want the right people knowing about them. But it’s inevitable that they’ll eventually blow up on the charts and become completely commercialized. To me this happened with the artist known as Drake. When I first heard his mixtape “So Far Gone” I was impressed with his lyrical wit as well as his ability to carry a tune. It’s not often an MC can spit bars as well as sing melodies.... Read More →

The Toys are back in town! Woody, Buzz and the gang return in Toy Story 3 PHOTO: Disney/Pixar Fifteen years ago, “Toy Story” revolutionized the animation industry with its landmark CG animation and iconic Oscar-nominated storytelling. Four years later, the Pixar crew raised the bar again with “Toy Story 2,” one of the most critically acclaimed sequels of all time. Now, 11 years later, Woody, Buzz and the gang return in “Toy... Read More →

The Dillinger Escape Plan “Sunshine The Werewolf” Live And Interview With Bassist Liam Wilson

I found a very recent interview with Liam Wilson bassist of The Dillinger Escape Plan. I think Liam Wilson has an interesting approach to playing bass by incorporating Bikram Yoga into his life. Forgive the sound quality. It’s horrible I know, but this is just to give you an idea about their aggressive stage presence. Outside of their screaming and growling, The Dillinger Escape Plan offers experimental techniques in their compositions with odd timing and other non-traditional elements of... Read More →

BANGER! That’s right. I know what you’re thinking “Damn Lou. All your podcasts are bangers!”… And you’re absolutely correct. They are. But this one. This one is serious. What makes it different? That I say so. Shout out to Listz for busting an FTP mission for me at work. I totally forgot to upload it and he hooked me up. And that nigga Guille for watching me type. He’s the freshest type watcher I’ve ever met in my life. Hollerate! DOWNLOAD LINK (right... Read More →

Jazz Liberatorz

Jazz Liberatorz Meux, France; not exactly the first place you’d think of when the words Jazz or Hip-hop are mentioned in a conversation. That is the beauty of music though; it reaches the most isolated ends of the earth. Jazz is the mother of all contemporary American music. Hip Hop is that rebel child that needs attention and wants to be heard. Jazz Liberatorz are a group of producers hailing from Paris, France but are originally from Meux. DJ Madhi, Damage, and... Read More →

Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith get a little morning workout on top of the Great Wall of China in "The Karate Kid." PHOTO: Columbia Pictures Can we stop pretending the original “The Karate Kid” is some type of masterpiece? It’s not! Other than a wonderful performance by Pat Morita and some good training sequences, there’s nothing special about it. Don’t get me wrong, I like the movie – it’s... Read More →

There is no Plan B: Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Sharlto Colpley love it when a plan comes together. PHOTO: 20th Century Fox

There is no Plan B: Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Sharlto Colpley love it when a plan comes together. PHOTO: 20th Century Fox “The A-Team” is an absolutely ridiculous and silly movie! Based on the equally silly TV show of the same name, this big-budgeted adaptation boasts action scenes so flabbergasting they’d feel at home in “Star Wars.” Hell, I don’t even think “Star... Read More →

Kam Moye and Tajai of SOM Join Hip-Hop Legends

Kam Moye And Tajai Guest Along With RZA, Crooked I, Ras Kass And More For Sway and Tech’s Wake Up Show Anthem 2010 In a genre that has become as overpopulated as the gritty urban streets it represents, terms like “classic” and “legendary” seem to be tossed around a little too much in hip-hop. There are a few names: Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, KRS-1, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, for which such labels are undeniable. What is also undeniable is that many of these acts have the classic... Read More →
