The sixth book in Rowling's marvelous Harry Potter series finds Harry and friends battling increasingly difficult lessons, raging adolescent hormones, and of course, He Who Must Not Be Named. Definitely worth the wait, HBP continues the series' trend of increasing in complexity and sophistication with the psychological development of its main characters. A must-read. More »

Arular

M.I.A. has come out with a debut album entitled Arular which is a bad ass assembly of electro, world, and hip-hop sounds. The producers on the tracks use a lot of rough and clear synth sounds along with really danceable beats. M.I.A. delivers sing-song lyrical treatment that just wraps her tracks in her unique sound. This album is fresh and unique and I enjoyed every bit of it! More »

Liquor

Poppy Z. Brite's latest novel follows New Orleans chefs John Rickey and Gary Stubbs (characters first introduced in her Novella, The Value of X) as they launch their own restaurant. It's a great read, and proves her merit (to anyone who needed proof, certainly not me) as a novelist, not just a "genre writer." More »
