There's no reason to review the sixth season of Lost as a home video release for two reasons: if you've watched the first five seasons of Lost, you've already seen the sixth season and have probably already made up your mind about how you feel regarding the way things panned out. If you haven't seen the first five seasons (and really, you should see all five if you're in it for the long haul), then there's absolutely no reason you should pick up this disc. Nothing will make sense. It barely does either way. More

Issue #33 - Fall 2010 - Interpol
The Phantom Band released one of 2009's truly underrated records in Checkmate Savage. A captivating hodgepodge of Tom Waits-like junkshop instrumentation, Krautish rhythms, and a Will Oldham-infused folk fascination, the record hopscotched dramatically stylistically, but still cohered into a satisfying whole.

Das Racist's two 2010 mixtapes, Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man, (both free) are packed with music that's at times complex and direct, and churlish and witty. Their first single, "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," was the definition of a novelty song, but those that dig deeper are rewarded with a smart hip-hop group swirling amongst the bong smoke.

The main character of The Green Woman, an original graphic novel published by DC/Vertigo, has evidently been around for a while in scribe Peter Straub’s novels. That may have been half the problem with this book; the narration awkwardly flips between not enough information and too much spoon-feeding. The story jumps around in time quite a bit as well, opening the door to confusion. More

Jónsi is an extraordinary performer. A rare musician who not only plays his songs but also lives them out note for note on stage, seeing him live is an incredibly captivating experience—even when he’s standing still, eyes clenched shut, guitar in hand. And if this sounds like the bias ranting of an uber fan…well, it is. More

Jimmy Eat World's sixth album is a bit same sounding when viewed among the band’s body of work, but the band has proven to be continually willing to challenge itself, especially in its lyrical approach, while delivering the same sonic push and pull its fans expect.
