Music Mini Review: Karver Hitchcock – The Fading Glow

Posted on 2013-04-03 by Tim Rayne Posted in Music Reviews, Reviews

Music Mini Review Karver Hitchcock – The Fading Glow   One of my biggest resources for finding local music talent is on bandcamp. When I have time, I tag ‘Fredericton’ on bandcamp and discover music for my Instant Breakfast and East Coast Stream shows on CHSR. Most of the time I have no idea who

    Under the Radar Films – Evil Dead Trilogy (Sam Rami)   When I was a child growing up in the 80s and early 90s, horror films were what brought my family unit together (except Dad who hated them). A confusing time indeed, both my grandmother and mother were obsessed with slasher films and

It’s time to talk to you about Dine Around Freddy.

Under the Radar – Mini Film Review – The Conversation

Posted on 2013-03-06 by Tim Rayne Posted in Film Reviews

  The Conversation (1974) – Coppola  Not many people are aware of Francis Ford Coppola’s film, The Conversation. I suspect there are a few obvious reasons why the film is somewhat overlooked in Coppola’s oeuvre. For one, it was produced between the epic masterpieces The Godfather 1 & 2. The Conversation is formally more experimental

Absolutely brilliant. John Jerome’s voice is a perfect

Quick Pick: The Damn Truth’s “Dear In The Headlights”

Posted on 2013-02-12 by Bondo Posted in Anything Goes, Music Reviews

The Damn Truth is my latest obsession. A rock n’ roll band from Montreal, they infused elements of blues and classic rock to bang out their latest album Dear In The Headlights.
