  • OTVST: “Cold Case” Michael A. Levine (CBS/Lakeshore Records)

    OTVST: “Cold Case” Michael A. Levine (CBS/Lakeshore Records)

    First off, I have to admit… I am a latecomer to “Cold Case”, series set in Philadelphia about a crack team of detectives who solve cold cases. A cold case is an unsolved case, one where the clues, tips, and leads have all panned out w/no hope of capturing the person who committed the crime. [...]

    CD Review – V/A- Mama’s Boy

    By Michael Sullivan This is a pretty well put togther soundtrack by Mark Mothersbaugh who has carved a nice little niche in cult movies like ‘Rushmore” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou”. While Mothersbaugh may be best remembered as the lead singer for the New Wave band,DEVO…much like Danny Elfman ahead of him,Mark has [...]

    CD Review – Larry the Cable Guy – Christmastime in Larryland

    By Michael Sullivan I admit, I have never seen Larry the Cable Guy…not even on Comedy Central, so when I got this CD I only knew one thing, it was a rare release these days…a real live bona fide comedy CD. So I was already pretty happy about that because I enjoy this genre. I [...]

    CD review Sh-Sh-Sh- SharkAttack! – self released

    Sh…Sh…Sh…SharkAttack! (self released) Review by Michael Sullivan Very cool retro New York City surf band with Crampish vocals. Great beats and excellent guitar elevate this band pretty high. The changes are subtle which is fine if the tunes were purely instrument driven but less guitar shows off the not most impressive vocals…in this case,louder guitar [...]
