This is last year's rockin debut album from the newish four-piece super group consisting of Carrie Bownstein (Sleater-Kinney and now also starring in the hit IFC show Portlandia), Mary Timony (Helium), Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney/Quasi), and Rebecca Cole (The Minders) and that's only a few of the former bands they have all been in since the 1990s. It features indie hits "Romance," "Future Crimes," "Boom," and if I have anything to say about the future (and I do not) "Something Came Over Me."

$5 MP3 Album Deal: Lisa Lampanelli ‘Equal Opportunity Offender’

Posted: 30 Jun 2012 02:22 PM PDT

Lisa Lampanelli Equal Opportunity Offender

As part of Amazon's monthly $5 MP3 album deal for June 2012, Lisa Lampanelli's Equal Opportunity Offender is on sale for only $5.

If you would like a physical copy of Equal Opportunity Offender, the CD is available for only $10.09.

True to the title of this compilation CD, Lisa Lampanelli is the quintessential insult comic who aims her love-wrapped barbs in just about every social and ethnic direction she adores. All the tracks on Equal Opportunity Offender come from Lampanelli's various CDs, DVDs, and cable TV specials, so there may be some loss of flow. What you do get is a fine smattering of all her funniest bits. You either love her foul mouth or piss your pants for fear of having nightmares about big, black dicks coming to get you. Personally, I think she's hilarious. Then again, I don't fear big, black dicks or brash-mouthed women.

$5 MP3 Album Deal: Tommy Bolin’s ‘Teaser Deluxe’

Posted: 30 Jun 2012 12:15 PM PDT

Tommy Bolin Teaser Deluxe

A great solo release by the late guitar conquistador Tommy Bolin, entitled Teaser, is in a knock out deluxe edition, available in MP3 format for only $5.00 right now on Amazon! Grab it before the end of the day to get it at the discounted price.

Bolin, who in his short life was a trailblazer and a pioneer of the instrument, even if he's fallen so far off the radar in today's musical eye, cuts, burns, and tears up the fretboard on Teaser. Originally released in 1975, a year before Bolin tragically died of the oft-tragic rock and death by way of heroin overdose, Teaser runs down the musical gamut like a cheetah in a labyrinth. Employing people like Phil Collins (on percussion), Jeff Porcaro (on drums), David Sanborn (on saxophone), Jan Hammer (on synthesizer), and Narada Michael Walden (also on drums) among plenty of others, Teaser is a welcome addition to any hard rock library. Songs like the hyper instrumental "Homeward Strut," "Dreamer," "Marching Powder," and the title track showcase the blazing fury of this musical master. Fans of guitar virtuosos like Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and others of that ilk, will not be disappointed.

Check out the main sale page to view the other 99 albums in this $5 sale, which will end at the end of the day today [...]

Movie Review: Moonrise Kingdom

Moonrise Kingdom movie poster

Moonrise Kingdom
Directed by Wes Anderson
Starring Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Bob Balaban and Harvey Keitel
Release Date: May 16, 2012

French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard, a powerful influence in cinema and pop culture from the 1960s onward thanks to his radical films, depicted in some of his films the need for the adolescent or youth to maintain their autonomy in the process of society attempting to crush it and mold it for their own purposes. This is pure literary, but in cinema the right director can demonstrate explicitly the harsh tendencies of society.

In his newest film, Moonrise Kingdom, director Wes Anderson, with a script he co-wrote with Roman Coppola, is approaching that topic Godard had always wrestled with, and still is today. It is not easy to do, but with Anderson's whimsy and vigorous style of direction, unerring in its constant infatuation with capturing perfection, we are able to witness two adolescents restlessly in love in a perfectly concocted world endure an environment that is stifling and stunting their growth [...]
