Album Review – “Them Crooked Vultures” by Them Crooked Vultures

(After a long hiatus, we are back! Anyway, let’s get to brass tax.)

Don’t call them a side-project because no one in the band would agree. You could call them a supergroup if you want to, but they wouldn’t really agree with that either. Josh Homme (singer/guitarist) of Queens Of The Stone Age and Eagles Of Death Metal fame, Dave Grohl (drummer) from Foo Fighters and the almighty Nirvana, and John Paul Jones (bassist) from the legendary Led Zeppelin see their newly formed band, oddly titled “Them Crooked Vultures”, as a bunch of friends (both new and old) just jamming. You would think that this would go decently well, as Dave and Josh have worked together before on the Queens Of The Stone Age album “Songs For The Deaf” and with Josh providing one guitar part on the Foo Fighters album “In Your Honor”, but it goes WAY more then decently well. It goes “Best Album Of The Year” well.

Hidden Gems Of The Net: Andre Michelle Laboratory

I stumbled upon this little place when I was looking at a blog for a game that a friend (EPICponyz) sent me. This laboratory is where a man named Andre Michelle makes experiments. There is everything from synthesizers to panoramic picture to even Pac-Man and Mario Kart clones. Really… you can waste hours here… it is amazing. The link I am going to post is to my favorite thing from there called “ToneMatrix” where it just a sinewave synth trigger by a 16-step sequencer. I may have taken that straight from the site… but I know what it means.

“It’s easy to do, just follow these steps…” Incredibad Review

The time has finally come. The Lonely Island, AKA The Dudes, AKA Andy Samburg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, has released their debut album, entitled Incredibad. It not only has your favorite SNL Digital Short songs, like “Lazy Sunday” and “Dick In A Box”, it has original songs… which are just as good as the other songs. Let’s start… shall we?

The album starts with the hard-hitting song “Who Said We’re Wack?”, a song about The Dudes trying to figure out who said they were wack. It feels like a gangster rap song… hard-hitting, catchy, and makes you feel like you want to make a mosh pit… somewhat. The simplistic lyrics actually work to the advantage of the song and it clearly deserved the opening spot. It does end somewhat abruptly, but then it leads to the first song with a guest… which is a recurring theme.
