I've realized that there is not a lot of "other" articles on this site other than music reviews. So, to lighten the mood, I'll show you some things the fellows of 402 Productions do from time to time, since we are all busy bees.
Ryan Tamborski and I met somehow... I don't know when or...

It's hard not to lose yourself in the music. Eminem said that once, didn't he? Well, Mr. Shady was correct. It's definitely hard not to jump into an album and get immersed by feelings. Sometimes we jump into some bad music, filled with nasty production or unfulfilling melodies, and we're left with... well, bad...

First things first. I love the cover of this album. That's actually the only reason i gave the album a listen initially. I have never particularly disliked actor Jared Leto's venture into the world of alternative rock, but I've never particularly liked it either. 30 Seconds to Mars and myself have always had a...

In this: Xiu Xiu, Fang Island, Joanna Newsom, Husky Rescue, and Best Coast reviews. Maxi helps out with the outro music as well.
Errors: A few plural errors here and there. I said the cover of "Peach, Plum, Pear" was a cover by John Nolan. Although correct, it was actually by Straylight Run (probably just...

I guess you would call her a heartthrob, right? Jonathan Taylor Thomas is to girls in the early to mid 90s as Joanna Newsom is to hipster boys of the now. Although, I'm personally frank towards the stylings of Sara Quin (second only to the girl from Baggy Time I suppose), Joanna Newsom is...

I don't know if the title says it at all, but the Bay Area's watered down version of The Cure, Xiu Xiu, has produced another awkward-rock album. The sad thing about this album is that there is a crowd for it... and at times, I see myself actually liking some of it.
First off, how...

Have you ever had something so amazing happen to you that you had to reevaluate your entire life? For example, the first time you went to Disneyland. Maybe you were 10. Maybe you were 21. Either way, it was the most awesome experience of your life at that point in time right? Even today,...

As I continue through this year I slowly realize that my reviews, per album, are becoming much like the scores from Olympic judges. I'm not saying I'm the international committee of indie music album reviews, but there are a few correlations. The biggest one is when I hear a great album from a certain...

What do you think of when it comes to Danish people? When I think of Danish people I remember a question someone was asked on TV… they were asked, “If you are Danish, where are you from?” and someone said “Uh, Dane?” Yes. The great country of Dane. Well, these guys from Copenhagen, DENMARK,...
