We are all ready to celebrate the holidays, deck the halls, rock around the Christmas tree, what have you. If you have some last minute shopping to do, this guide will help you find a gift for everyone on your list. And the best perk is that you don’t even need leave home to go to the […]
Aren’t movies great? Don’t answer that. It’s not a rhetorical question. Think of it more as a statement, only said in a way that sounds agreeable but actually isn’t. Now that we’ve established that we all like movies, isn’t beer great too? Again, don’t answer. You know the answer. We here at “Six Degrees of […]
I’m going to be quite honest, when Run The Jewels dropped last year, I couldn’t get into it. It was one of the albums I was looking forward to the most and it underwhelmed me. To make matters worse, it seemed like everyone around me suddenly knew the album, and it was their favorite thing […]
Nostalgia! The internet has made the act of looking back fondly on the past into the hottest new trend of the 21st century. We love to look back and think about how our lives are like a movie, and the part we’re in now is just the beginning of a wonderful journey, because we’re all […]
While at the Cadillac Palace Theater in Chicago a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of young men who could be Bob Dylan; mops of curly hair, non-descript pea-coats, with shuffling, languid walks that seemed to belong to a subterranean coffee shop in Greenwich Village circa 1965.

Each year now since 2011, I have looked forward to Halloween not for horror movie marathons nor dressing up and partying (although I do love both of those things), but for the annual Marshmallow Ghosts release from Graveface Records & Curiosities. I remember when I first happened upon The Marshmallow Ghosts’ full-length album review on […]
Adimiron Timelapse Scarlet Records November 4th, 2014 After entering their tenth year of existence, progressive metal outfit Adimiron will release their fourth effort Timelapse this November. Brutality is a universal language, but Adimiron honors that now time-honored tradition of European metal bands singing in English. So you’ll have no idea they hail from Italy. Well, now you […]
It must not be difficult to launch a record label, otherwise you wouldn’t see just about every band signing other bands in their own image. See also: Deathwish, All Black and Third Man. What you don’t see are very many fringe cartoon studios getting into the game. In fact, there’s only one: Adult Swim. Adult Swim already […]
Sophomore albums can be a bit tricky for many bands. This is especially true if the band’s first album was a major hit. Some bands stick to the formula that made them famous in the first place.
