Review: Your Mommy Kills Animals
Your Mommy Kills Animals Curt Johnson Street: 2007 Don’t be fooled by the title; this is not another “shockumentary” exploiting animals even further by showing horrible abuse footage. It is not an ad for vegetarianism, PETA or anything of the sort. Your Mommy Kills Animals actually exposes companies like PETA and other “animal loving” corporations

Review: Moogfest 2006 Live
Moogfest 2006 Live MVD Visual Street: 07.17 Moogfest 2006 Live serves as a sequel of sorts to the 2004 feature, Moog, sort of a now-watch-these-instruments-in-action presentation. However, whereas the former release focuses on artists who have or currently use various Moog synthesizers to push music forward (Meat Beat Manifesto, Charlie Clouser, Luke Vibert), this feature stars

Mostly made up

Review: Chance in Hell
Chance in Hell Gilbert Hernandez Fantagraphics Books Street: 08.01 Gilbert Hernandez is a crafty son of a bitch. He weaves a story that is as poignant as it is troubling and tense.
