album review: deftones – diamond eyes
Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by slicktiger in Music, featured
Something about cars always unnerved me, from as far back as I can remember, but it wasn’t until I wrote my first car off that I truly understood why. Blink, just once, let your concentration lapse for the briefest moment at the wrong time and the resulting bang you hear on collision will be etched [...]
johnny cash – ain’t no grave
Posted on 17. Mar, 2010 by slicktiger in Blog, Culture, Music
I say ‘Johnny Cash’ and you say ‘Joaquin Phoenix’. I say ‘brilliant and deeply troubled country musician who struggled his whole life with alcohol, drugs and his relationship with God’ and you say ‘a feel-good Hollywood love-story that ends when guy marries girl and they live happily ever after.’ Walk The Line ended just before [...]

I’d be lying if I said I knew where to start when it comes to writing this review. How do you dissect a world so carefully created and beautifully rendered?

Review of Alice in Chains – Black Gives Way to Blue
Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by vincenthofmann in Music, featured, music-reviews
Alice In Chains are the most under-rated grunge band to have ever played and that is a fact. There were a lot of grunge bands playing back in the 90s that cottoned on to what bands like Nirvana were doing and jumped right in there (yes Bush and Silverchair, I’m looking at you) and hence [...]
Album Review: Pearl Jam – ‘Backspacer’
Posted on 30. Oct, 2009 by slicktiger in Music, featured, music-reviews
Pearl Jam is undoubtedly one of the Titans of rock music, the band has been playing for the last 19 years, has recorded 9 studio albums, has sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide and is pretty much the only surviving band of the grunge rock explosion that was the early 90s. You’d be hard pressed [...]
