Last time I saw Prawn they were absolutely killing it at The Studio at Webster Hall supporting Hotelier and Foxing. While I didn't know much about them then, it did spawn a slight obsession with the band. Maybe it's just natural to want to support local Jersey bands, but these guys know how to put on…

It's almost Halloween, which means that you're looking for one thing: horror. And blood and guts and gore too, I guess. What better way to find those things in a safe and controlled way than watching horror movies at home on Netflix? So, for your ease and pleasure, here is a list of the 13…
Alt-J’s sophomore effort “This Is All Yours” has been brutally criticized as a tuneless, unimaginative record of unearthly sounds, which is surprising for a band that has been dubbed “the next Radiohead.” Reviews say thae lyrics mean nothing, the music isn’t quite there and none of it really means anything.

It's the episode we've been waiting for since the Pilot and is a sign of the end for The Good Wife. Towards the end of "Shiny Objects," Alicia takes the stage to announce her candidacy for State's Attorney. However, the question posed throughout the episode was whether or not she would do it with Peter by…

Its sound is raw and menacing at times, but its construction couldn’t be more tightly controlled. The New Orleans-based Booker burst onto the music scene with…

There was a period of time during 3rd and 4th seasons that the show fell into a pattern of stagnant stories and the case of the week format. While that worked for the series for a while, it became clear…
I was both excited and concerned coming into the sixth season premiere of The Good Wife. Excited because they were coming off their best season yet and concerned because they were coming off their best season yet. It would be an understatement to say that season 5 was a game changer. We saw who was essentially the male…
