$5 MP3 Album Deal: Lisa Lampanelli ‘Equal Opportunity Offender’
space
The Book Slave   |  

Lisa Lampanelli Equal Opportunity Offender

As part of Amazon’s monthly $5 MP3 album deal for June 2012, Lisa Lampanelli‘s Equal Opportunity Offender is on sale for only $5.

If you would like a physical copy of Equal Opportunity Offender, the CD is available for only $10.09.

True to the title of this compilation CD, Lisa Lampanelli is the quintessential insult comic who aims her love-wrapped barbs in just about every social and ethnic direction she adores. All the tracks on Equal Opportunity Offender come from Lampanelli’s various CDs, DVDs, and cable TV specials, so there may be some loss of flow. What you do get is a fine smattering of all her funniest bits. You either love her foul mouth or piss your pants for fear of having nightmares about big, black dicks coming to get you. Personally, I think she’s hilarious. Then again, I don’t fear big, black dicks or brash-mouthed women.

$5 MP3 Album Deal: Tommy Bolin’s ‘Teaser Deluxe’
space
Stoogeypedia   |  

Tommy Bolin Teaser Deluxe

A great solo release by the late guitar conquistador Tommy Bolin, entitled Teaser, is in a knock out deluxe edition, available in MP3 format for only $5.00 right now on Amazon! Grab it before the end of the day to get it at the discounted price.

Bolin, who in his short life was a trailblazer and a pioneer of the instrument, even if he’s fallen so far off the radar in today’s musical eye, cuts, burns, and tears up the fretboard on Teaser. Originally released in 1975, a year before Bolin tragically died of the oft-tragic rock and death by way of heroin overdose, Teaser runs down the musical gamut like a cheetah in a labyrinth. Employing people like Phil Collins (on percussion), Jeff Porcaro (on drums), David Sanborn (on saxophone), Jan Hammer (on synthesizer), and Narada Michael Walden (also on drums) among plenty of others, Teaser is a welcome addition to any hard rock library. Songs like the hyper instrumental “Homeward Strut,” “Dreamer,” “Marching Powder,” and the title track showcase the blazing fury of this musical master. Fans of guitar virtuosos like Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and others of that ilk, will not be disappointed.

Check out the main sale page to view the other 99 albums in this $5 sale, which will end at the end of the day today.

Movie Review: Moonrise Kingdom

Three-D   |  

Moonrise Kingdom movie posterMoonrise Kingdom
Directed by Wes Anderson
Starring Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Bob Balaban and Harvey Keitel
Release Date: May 16, 2012

French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard, a powerful influence in cinema and pop culture from the 1960s onward thanks to his radical films, depicted in some of his films the need for the adolescent or youth to maintain their autonomy in the process of society attempting to crush it and mold it for their own purposes. This is pure literary, but in cinema the right director can demonstrate explicitly the harsh tendencies of society.

In his newest film, Moonrise Kingdom, director Wes Anderson, with a script he co-wrote with Roman Coppola, is approaching that topic Godard had always wrestled with, and still is today. It is not easy to do, but with Anderson’s whimsy and vigorous style of direction, unerring in its constant infatuation with capturing perfection, we are able to witness two adolescents restlessly in love in a perfectly concocted world endure an environment that is stifling and stunting their growth.

$5 MP3 Album Deal: Firehose ‘Ragin’ Full On’

Stoogeypedia   |  

Firehose Raging Full On

Ragin’ Full On, the 1986 debut album by the alternative/punk/post punk trio Firehose, is on sale in MP3 format for only $5.00 on Amazon right now!

The band, which was born from the legendary punk ensemble The Minutemen due to the death of their guitarist/singer D. Boon, also carved their own niche in that genre of music. Quirky, intense, unique, the sounds of Firehose range from sublime to rapid fire intense. Lead singer/guitarist Ed From Ohio is able to maintain the heat put forth by the ex-Minutemen rhythm section comprised of drummer George Hurley and bass player extraordinaire Mike Watt, (a true bonafide legend of the post punk generation to many who followed him) and songs like “Brave Captain,” “Chemical Wire,” “The Candle and the Flame” and “Under the Influence of Meat Puppets” chug along at a breakneck pace. The band reunited recently and have sallied forth to keep their sounds alive to the loyal generation that remained with them back when and to a new generation as well. Ragin’ Full On remains highly recommended.
