CD REVIEW: Cultsnew

Take two NYU grads: Madeline Follin (vocals) and Brian O'Blivion (guitars and goofy name). Give them the keys to '60s girl group records and the reverb switch. Commence a pop record that's a mix of The Supremes and Belle & Sebastian.

Stating that Midnight in Paris is Woody Allen's best film in over a decade really doesn't mean anything at all, considering that most of his output since the previous century has consisted of such clunkers as Hollywood Ending and Cassandra's Dream.

Goodie Mob Reconnects, Gets Back to the Musicnew

It's hard to love Southern hip-hop and not love Goodie Mob. It seems like the mere mention of the group that gave us "They Don't Dance No Mo," "Cell Therapy" and coined the phrase "Dirty South" makes fans get all nostalgic.
