It is doubtful that anyone in America has heard about this, or frankly could give two shits if they had, but the European community has reacted with disgust at the… Read more
Ah Poo is Here
The camera comes into focus on a brightly lit room—podium standing majestically at the center with microphones glimmering under harsh lights. Looking conservative and regal dressed in a gray suit… Read more

Iron & Wine’s Walking Far From Home ~ A Review by Megan Rusciano
I fell in love with Sam Beam (the voice behind Iron & Wine), his guitar, his ginger locks, and his trademark beard in high school. But 2007’s The Shepherd’s Dog’s shifted away from acoustics towards a more country/ folk-rock feel. This left me wondering where Sam Beam’s poignant guitar rifts had gone.

I’m pretty sure “no time travel” isn’t a problem anywhere else. “Hey, you wanna hang out?” With dinosaurs and Richelieu?! “No, with me.” Nah, I’m good. “Hey, I’m gonna order a pizza. Want some?” Is it one of those time traveling pizzas? “Is that like a pizza that’s already eaten by the time you get it? Because I’m not paying for an empty box.” Then, no, I don’t want any.
Inside JVP: An Interview with Alex Draine by Ben Kharakh
