The vintage sounds of both A Cappella and Doo Whop era’s, it can often be a memorable staple growing up with a musical background from all walks of life as a musician and today that same sound has still remains a staple in music history with a modern twist from ten individuals who simple call themselves Straight No Chaser.

		<description><![CDATA[By Steve Trager Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA, 26 April 2012 While many European Metal Bands will fly under the radar due to less popularity in other parts of the world such as America, they still manage to make a signature label for themselves for their unique sound, style and musical talent that can often separate them from the rest of the world and that one band is certainly at the top of the roster Rammstein. With a history of just a mere decade under their belts of one of the most bizarre Shock Rock Metal Bands out there next to say Alice Cooper and Kiss for the greatest stage show from the naked eye. Seems like forever since Rammstein gripped America by the throat with one of the most amazing stage productions that truly leaves your jaw drop below your waist. While they have a great known following across the Mid – Atlantic with such performances during festivals in the summer with the likes of Wacken and Bang Your Head which are extremely popular, Rammstien’s first staple to America comes to no surprise and they truly nail a rock anthem with Du Hast a song that can be heard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Lane Actor George Lindsey, who played bumbling Goober Pyle on the 1960s TV series &#8220;The Andy Griffith Show,&#8221; died on today. He was 83. Lindsey died in Nashville, Tennessee, after a brief illness, according to a statement from the Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home. In a statement released by the funeral home, actor Andy Griffith said he considered Lindsey, who was active in raising money for the Special Olympics, a friend as well as a former colleague. Griffith, 85, praised Lindsey&#8217;s spirit and talent, and said they had often talked by phone in recent years. &#8220;I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, &#8216;I love you,&#8217;&#8221; Griffith said. Born in Fairfield, Alabama, in 1928, Lindsey was active in theater in high school and college, an obituary posted on the funeral home&#8217;s website said. After graduating from Florence State Teachers College, military service and a brief stint as a teacher, Lindsey used GI Bill money to study at the American Theater Wing, the obituary said. Lindsey&#8217;s early work in Hollywood was in small parts on TV shows such as &#8220;The Rifleman,&#8221; &#8220;Gunsmoke&#8221; and &#8220;The Twilight Zone.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By David Conner Imagine, if you will, riding on a carousel in a rowdy village somewhere in Eastern Europe with a group of gypsies, The Beatles and Tim Burton.  All around you the most spirited music is playing; people are clapping and banging on any percussive surface they can find, dancing around fires in theatrical costumes, and plucking away on stringed instruments to lively, tarantella-like rhythms.  It&#8217;s either a Transylvanian festival celebrating the full moon or it&#8217;s Caravan of Thieves newest album, &#8220;The Funhouse.&#8221; Or perhaps it&#8217;s a bit of both.  With tracks entitled &#8220;Live Forever,&#8221; &#8220;Raise the Dead,&#8221; &#8220;Eat You,&#8221; &#8220;Haunt Me,&#8221; and &#8220;Monster,&#8221; you might not know where the hell you are&#8211;at which point all the band members raise their goblets and smile.  Exactly.  &#8220;Raise the Dead&#8221; is particularly noteworthy as a waltzy invocation complete with its own music video. Where an actual funhouse relies on funky visuals to reshape the familiar, the album achieves a similar dismaying effect by using some familiar musical elements (ballroom dances, voices, guitar, backup instruments, etc.) and combining them in an original way.  The lyrics are clever, rich and mesmerizing. I&#8217;m not going to lie: it&#8217;s not going to be everyone&#8217;s cup [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By David Conner If you’re prone to swooning, beware.  If it’s not the original folk-rock songwriting and easy acoustic guitar, it’s the striking blue eyes, handsome face and beard that would make a Confederate general nod in approval.  If it’s none of those, it might well be the whiskey.  In any case, Jack Wilson, artist and self-titled record, will make an impression like a memorable late summer night. It’s a rare treat to come across a singer/songwriter who knows himself and his groove; to find one who knows how to push the boundaries yet remain true to self is a greater treat still.  While keeping his native Austin flavor, Wilson stirs in occasional rock elements reminiscent of Van Morrison’s (maybe even Counting Crows’) horn section, the ease of James Taylor or the storytelling of Don McLean&#8211;all while owning it and appealing to his original audience in the Seattle music scene.  Smart.  Most everything about “Jack Wilson” seems right. Each track on the album has its strength; slow tempos dominate.  Wilson’s voice lacks polish but it works for the genre, and the ear always has something to appreciate, be it a fiddle, a harmony, a change in time signature or a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Lane On April 25, 2012 the total amount of student loan debt in the U.S. was expected to top 1 trillion dollars. Throughout the country the Occupy Student Debt Campaign conducted various direct actions to raise awareness about this crisis as part of a new movement to make education a right. In New York City&#8217;s Union Square, Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir presided over a debt jubilee &#8211; an emancipatory student loan debt write-off for all! The Federal Reserve disputes the figure, saying U.S. student debt is currently $870 billion. President Barack Obama and his Republican opponent Mitt Romney have called attention to the issue on the campaign trail to try to court the college-age vote. U.S. Senate Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives have proposed separate bills to keep interest rates for poor and middle class students at the current level for another year. Currently, interest rates for students are set to double on July 1. Republicans want to pay for the measure by using money from a public health and prevention fund created by the president&#8217;s health care reform law. The Democratic bill would be paid for in part by increasing corporate [...]]]></description>
