USDA: Faster lines and less inspectors equals cleaner food.
By Dave Palmer The Obama administration is at it again, letting down progressives that believed in his message of change and moving forward while putting smiles on the faces of the corporate profiteers. According to a Mother Jones article, a new budget for the USDA released on April 10 proposes allowing chicken and turkey slaughterhouses [...]
Bonobo wsg Shigeto @ The Crofoot 4/19 (Photos & Review)
By Alexis Simpson Shigeto (aka Zach Saginaw) and Bonobo (aka Simon Green) sold out The Crofoot, and drew a very diverse crowd.

He was seen hanging out with his crew right before popping on stage to [...]

Props to the fans for coming dressed in colorful edgy attire and bright easter egg hair. This tour is in support of MSI’s new album being [...]
U.S. Senators show public opinion means nothing to them
By Dave Palmer Another day, another filibuster. Increasingly, this seems to be the mantra that is chanted silently in the heads of Senate Republicans. Once again, a filibuster-proof vote was required in a bipartisan agreement regarding the latest gun control bill to hit the Senate floor. Once again, votes fell largely on partisan lines, with [...]

Steve Aoki and Kendrick Lamar with Bad Rabbits 4/13/13 @ Meadow Brook Festival (Photos & Review)
By Jacob Giampa Bad Rabbits started off the chilly evening at a sold out outdoor concert at Meadow Brook Music Festival. They are a R&B band with a very modern sound and catchy songs.

Album Review: Stars In Stereo Self Titled Album (Score=82%)
By Alexis Simpson We stumbled across the band “Stars In Stereo” when they opened for Drowning Pool and Flyleaf at St. Andrew’s Hall earlier this year. New female-fronted rock bands are fairly rare, and we wanted to support and share today’s new release of Stars In Stereo. Click HERE to stream. This is a good [...]
Bad Religion @ St. Andrew’s Hall 3/2/13 (Photos, Setlist, & Concert Review)
By Alexis Simpson “You can’t go wrong with a band whose frontman has a P.h.D., ” said one of my friends who was envious of our opportunity to cover Bad Religion’s Detroit leg of their North American tour. Bad Religion filled St. Andrew’s Hall with punk rock lovers, young, old, and rambunctious. Security wasn’t playing [...]
Sigur Rós @ Fox Theatre Detroit 3/1/13 (Concert Review, Setlist & Photos)
By Alexis Simpson American reviews of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós most always include such words as ethereal, spiritual, and haunting. I would explain the performance as avant-garde, an experience, and even a bit high brow and intellectual because the show is akin to opera in the sense that the vocals aren’t in English. The [...]
