A good bar is an asset that is beyond value. A place that can offer shelter from our the turmoil of our day to day lives. A place where a reasonably priced drink from an understanding barkeep is better than therapy. Yes, a good bar is the closest thing most of us will experience to [...]

The Gilded Palace’s Rock Noir Rebellion
When I first read a press release that described The Gilded Palace of Sin as “the kind of house band that would play on HBO’s Deadwood”, I was intrigued. For a band to be compared to such a wild and gritty TV series, one immediately assumes the band to be of a fairly dark nature [...]

Alice Minus Wonderland
My favorite books of all time are Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I have always loved seeing their rich characters and fantastic world brought to the screen. I think I must have seen the Disney version about a hundred times. Disney is back with a live-action version of Alice, helmed by Tim [...]

Indie-pop band’s new album sounds too ‘safe’
Vampire Weekend’s sophomore album “Contra” continues the band’s already considerable indie-pop reputation but doesn’t quite display much growth from the band. “Contra”, from independent label XL, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 list, beating out Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” and Lady Gaga’s “The Fame”. This makes Vampire Weekend one of only [...]

Battlefield Bad Company 2: A Weekend at War
I am a sucker for war sims. It is probably fair to say that shooters in general, are among my favorite video game genres. I preface many of my reviews with my opinions of the specific genre to make sure you, the reader, are aware that I may or may not be biased to said [...]

An Indie Artist Interview With Philip Hunter
The staggering amount of talented artists out there these days is something, if you have been a fan of Battlemouth{DOT}com for a while, you know I celebrate. In addition to the countless comic book artists I talk about frequently, I am also a fan of many other forms of art from photography, to more [...]

MV & EE’s Psychedelic Supernova
With a musical collaboration as prolific as MV & EE, it’s somewhat strange not to have heard of them before now. This Vermont pair have worked with a number of artists to accumulate over 30 releases over the past decade, and now bring us their fourth major release Barn Nova under Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace! label. Combining [...]

This Is No Substandard Fare
Standard Fare may be named after a sign spotted on a bus, but their effect is anything but pedestrian. Sounding like the perky younger siblings of the Arctic Monkeys, the power trio’s uncomplicated lyrics of life and infectious beats make for a rollicking good time, and now Emma Kupa, Danny How, and Andy Beswick are set [...]

Griffey’s Oscar Picks and Wish List
This is the big weekend for all of us cinephiles. The biggest and most prestigious awards ceremony in the film kingdom, the Academy Awards. While I have a love/hate relationship with the Academy, one thing is certain, I always tune in for the Oscars. So today, I would like to take a minute to create [...]

Don’t Go Where The Wild Things Are
If you were a child post-1963, then you most likely read and loved Where The Wild Things Are. A short picture book about a boy who goes to a far-off land inhabited with wild creatures. If you are a movie goer in 2009, then you may have seen and probably didn’t or won’t like its [...]
