R.I.P. Davy Jones
Word just came out that Davy Jones of the Monkees passed away today from a heart attack at the age of 66. This seriously stinks, as The Monkees are one of those great bands that seemed less than special at their time, but have grown in stature over the years. We gave away both seasons of their classic tv series back in December, which brought back memories of watching them and even seeing the band (minus Mike Nesmith) in Toronto back in 1996.

Trailer Time: Avengers Assemble In Another Trailer, Complete With Lots of Hulk!
Well, another new Avengers trailer is here and safe to say, it’s the best one yet!

There’s Prog Rock and now there’s Newgrass: Punch Brothers, Carolina Chocolate Drops and The Cranberries Take Traditional Music To Untraditional Places

This week I stumbled upon two really interesting albums of what you might call modern bluegrass music as well as a new release from one of the best pop-rock/folk acts of the ‘90’s.
Mat Langford’s Gaming World: First impressions of the PS Vita.
The Vita is here!
I’ve had five days to play with Sony’s new handheld, the PS Vita, and so far it’s a great experience. Here’s a rundown on my experiences with it so far, both good and bad.
