Hitting most of the right notes in mostly the right order, there's no reason for this new album from Hopewell to be as anemic and disappointing as it is.

City Calls Revolutionnew
As "psychedelic" music in the United States and Europe gets more and more nostalgic, leave it to a Japanese trio – with grindcore roots, no less – to poke a lysergic stick in the genre's third eye and make it run around the room screaming.

Film Proves to be Uneven Rompnew
Despite loads of snappy banter provided by Wilson and Vaughn and lots of potentially slapstick situations, Wedding Crashers proves to be an uneven romp. The movie oversaturates some scenes with solid laughs and squanders other opportunities.

Back From Extinctionnew
It's difficult to imagine a group that more perfectly represents the zeitgeist of the post-hardcore/pre-grunge slacker underground of '80s noise-rock than Dinosaur Jr.

Visual Overloadnew
How much would you pay for a poster advertising a recent rock show? Ten bucks? Twenty? Think again. A new era of rock poster appreciation has arrived, and with it, an entirely bizarre sense of economics.
