Seriously, we have spent a lot of time upgrading and improving Ventvox this weekend. Change is a good thing, and Ventvox was definitely due. After much thought, we decided to ditch the pure complaint aspect of this site. Consider it a bit of a learning curve, but who really wants to read something so negative?
This site will have an exclusive focus on pop culture. We’re not going Entertainment/Access/Tonight/Hollywood so don’t worry about that. We’re staying virtually the same site with the exception of Politics and People - two categories we can do without. Simply put, we can’t compete with People magazine and we’re not interested in that either.
The other addition to Ventvox is a forum or bulletin board. You can discuss anything there whenever you want and it doesn’t have to be related to site content. So go wild, have fun, and look both ways when you cross the street.

I would have thought that the Dandy’s would have called it quits after Dig, and their last album “Odditorium or Warlords of Mars.” Some bands can never exit gracefully enough, and continue to linger around for years. This album represents the Dandy’s apparent comeback and is a (more…)

Tired of the same lists of bad album art, I decided to compile a list of good album art. It seems that every other week or month includes the same albums deemed as bad art. Those lists get old quickly. Art is pretty subjective depending on who is (more…)

It was mentioned in the pilot that along with the appearance of the dinosaurs, Nick Cutter’s wife has gone missing through a time disturbance.

Sometimes reviews write themselves; in this case the album title of the new Staind album says it all. You would think that a band that has been around for about 13 years would want to change things up a little on a new release. Staind does not want to rock the boat by trying anything too risky. They continue to mine the field of mid to late 90’s rock with a grungy sound that has not been updated since.
This album sounds very slick and polished. You can almost hear the sheen on it as all imperfections have been deleted in the recording studio. This album might fare well with those nostalgic for the grunge era and classic rock stations, but I’m beginning to think some people are going to want a change.
