[Music Review] Ben Harper and Relentless 7 “White Lies for Dark Times”

Overview:

benharperandrelentless7I enjoy good ol’ beer-in-hand Rock and Roll music, and unfortunately what we’re told is “Rock” these days (Nickelback, Hinder, etc.) seems to want to substitute straight-forward rock power and that beer-in-hand feeling with sappy, horrible lyrics, tacky musicianship and a nice cold wine cooler. Luckily there are bands out there who don’t shy away from what Rock and Roll should be, and this album is a throwback to those days when great rock music wasn’t only played on Classic Rock stations.

[Energy Drink Review] Stacker 2 YJ Stinger Sinful Citrus

Overview:

stacker2yjstingersinfulcitrusThe YJ Stinger brand is pretty close to being deceased, and for good reason. Though its lame TV advertisements featuring pro wrestlers helped it become one of the first mainstream energy drinks, it quickly fell off of consumer radars due to its inaccessibility.

But the experience was still pretty painful. Continue reading

[Energy Drink Review] Awake: Good Morning Energy

awakeenergyOverview:

We all know mornings are very important and that they shape the rest of your day. A day that starts with a good morning will almost always end with a good night. But if you wake up groggy and grumpy, stump your foot on the dresser, burn your toast, cut yourself shaving, lose a sock, and forget to brush your teeth, your day will likely end by finding out that you have syphilis.

californication season 2The seedy, vulgar, and always entertaining Californication is back for its second season, and the show keeps rolling into one of the best on TV.

kelloggscinnabonbarsOverview:

Everyone loves cinnamon rolls, but as is often discussed, most do not have the proper preparation time necessary to make them on a regular enough basis to satisfy their cravings.

Well, whether you are pressed for time, or just lazy (yo), the people at Kellogg’s and Cinnabon have combined forces to give slack asses a bastardized version of their beloved product. Luckily enough, while it’s not the same as a fresh cinnamon roll, Kellogg’s Cinnabon Bars are a pleasant enough alternative for people seeking a quick culinary fix. Continue reading
