Matthew Landan – Barista, Bar Owner, Comic Book Reader, & World Traveler

As most of you know, we love to travel. We are always going somewhere, whether it’s just for the weekend or on a longer vacation to some remote island somewhere. We love traveling, seeing the world, and experiencing different cultures. One of those trips we recently made was to Louisville, Kentucky. It’s not far, maybe two hours from our place, and offered us a nice getaway before winter. While we were there, we danced in some clubs, sipped craft brew at some [...]

Fright Night Movie Review: When Evil Lives Next Door

The movie starts off REALLY good. There is a guy running through a house, blood everywhere, and a few dead bodies in the bedroom. The kid (it was a kid running through the house) climbs under the bed, and reaches for his dad’s gun. It’s locked! Oh no! That’s when I lost complete interest in the movie. He reaches into his dad’s pocket, grabs the key (there was a lock on the gun) and the “monster” comes in. You don’t see him, but you see [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with ΔNGELO

A voice like this doesn’t come around very often. That is why I was SO excited when I was first introduced to ΔNGELO. There are several other artists out there with the same name, but NO ONE uses the Δ, which I find both artistic and unique. That just adds to my feeling about this talented performer. I actually asked him about the asked him about the Δ in the interview. ΔNGELO has a new single out called Terrible Heart. The story of that single [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Knox Hamilton

Brad Titus sent me a Tweet a couple weeks ago… he wanted me to interview a band he was friends with. I hadn’t heard of the band, but I couldn’t wait to interview them. Brad introduced me to the guys on Twitter, and before long we had an interview scheduled. That’s when I went to listen to the tunes… and was immediately impressed with their tunes. I am a HUGE fan of bands like Matt & Kim, yet that genre is so hard to fit into. There is a certain [...]

Green Lantern: In Brightest Day. In Blackest Night.

The script is great. I loved the story. Imagine being a normal guy, just making your way through life… when all of a sudden, you are chosen by a ring (yeah, I know) to be a protector of planet earth. There are several parts that put the world into perspective of the “what if”. What if there is life on other planets. Life that is so much smarter than us, so much beyond us. I typically don’t like movies like this, as I prefer things that are real and could really happen. But [...]

Memorial Day Weekend at Marquee Las Vegas

Ever since I started listening to dance music, I have been obsessed with traveling the world and seeing my favorite artists in the biggest clubs. (I also like seeing these same acts perform in smaller, more intimate settings. For instance, I saw Paul van Dyk and Above & Beyond here in the Circle City with only a few hundred people Talbott Street, one of the only places in Indy to hear good beats.) An easy way to see a lot of these incredible DJs is to take [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Matt Moore

His lyrics simply move. From one song to the next, his album No Place Left to Hide is packed with seven killer tracks. Every song inspires and his voice just carries you from one song to the next. I really can’t get enough of this guy. He also has a certain style and grace about the way he handles himself. This kid has what it takes, and his voice demands some attention. No way this guy doesn’t sign with a major in the near future. He’s too good not to. I have no clue how [...]
