There are those people whose bucket list consists of spending at least one summer in Paris before being bagged, tagged and greeted by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. And then, there are those whose aspirations to fulfill their lifelong dreams are a bit more modest – like getting sauced in some of the most culturally significant bars in America.

A Review of Taco Bell's Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos

Chris Illuminati — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:32:37 +0000

Taco Bell has been an integral block of my food pyramid for almost two decades. Here is where things get a little odd though -- rarely do I stray from the regular. In the beginning the order was always the same -- three Soft Taco Supremes and three regular crunchy tacos -- with an occasional Grilled Stuft Burrito with beef. Boring but always delivered.

Who Said Orchestra Was for Geeks? A Little Highway to Hell? [Video]

Super Mario — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:12:42 +0000

When I was Younger (howling sound)....a long time ago. I studied music, Orchestra to be exact (cello/bass). I remember sitting in class, my walkman cassette player on, full blast to the sounds of Van Halen, Ratt, Led Zeppelin, and yes AC/DC!

My teachers walking in and telling to turn that "crap" off !

I will never forgot the day that ALL my teachers at one point or another would say... "That Rock and Roll stuff has no place in Classical music!"

In This Moment ..Check them out Live (video)

Super Mario — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:22:43 +0000

I’m a big fan of ”In This Moment” and they will be here on 10/19/12 Better yet it’s a FREE show! How about a little show warm up. Change. Some people welcome it. Others resist it. Some seek it out. Others fear the unknown. Sometimes it happens beyond our control. Whatever one’s mindset, change is inevitable. [...]

Veronica Gonzalez — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 06:22:18 +0000

My boss likes to call me into his office on occasion to discuss my on air time to help me make improvements. Lately I have caught myself repeating a couple words such as “BUT” AND “DETAILS” when I’m on air. I decided to ask for your opinion on whether or not I do say those words too much.

Mary Ouellette — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:57:38 +0000

Avenged Sevenfold fans in North America were bracing for a summer without any live shows from their favorite band until Metallica came and saved the day. Invited to participate in the Orion Music and More Festival in Atlantic City on June 24, Avenged Sevenfold decided to make the most of it, adding a few one off shows prior to their festival appearance.

The two shows would serve as a warm-up for their highly anticipated Orion performance.

Phil Villarreal — Sun, 06 May 2012 00:30:02 +0000

We swear to you that this is not a review of an orchestra concert, OK? So hear us out before you close out this window and get back to your Facebook stalking. Some people love classical music and think it’s perfectly reasonable to pay $50 a ticket to see a bunch of greybeards play the [...]

'Mortal Kombat' Vita Review

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 01 May 2012 18:00:41 +0000

It may be called Mortal Kombat, but it keeps coming back with the regularity of an immortal serial killer in a slasher flick. After an April 2011 reboot, February saw the game come out again as the Komplete Edition, along with all the downloadable costumes and characters plus the 1995 movie. Now the game comes [...]

ButtleOpener: The Butt Cheek Bottle Opener Was Too Hot For NASCAR

Joe Student — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 16:30:07 +0000

This might win the award as the Q’s “Hiney of the Week,” simply because it is so practical. ButtleOpener is a life-size replica of a woman’s panty-clothed buttocks that serves as a novelty beer bottle opener. Because, of course it is. Watch the ButtleOpener in Action: While we readily acknowledge that there is probably a [...]

The Offspring, 'Days Go By' – Song Review

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:15:01 +0000

The Offspring have debuted the title track / first single from their upcoming ninth album ‘Days Go By’ and it’s what you’d expect from these perennial Warped Tour rockers. Potent melodies, singalong choruses, big power chords, frontman Dexter Holland’s signature nasally vocals and a summer-appropriate energy.

Five Finger Death Punch, 'Coming Down' – Song Review

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 21:15:27 +0000

Hot on the heels of the just announced Trespass America tour, Five Finger Death Punch have unleashed their new single, ‘Coming Down.’ It’s a moody mid-tempo number with plenty of moshability, but there’s also some provocative lyrics situated among the battering ram riffery and singer Ivan Moody’s vitriolic bark. The best of both worlds, if you will.
