Each week, more and more people are being laid off. As a result, the unemployment rate in the U.S. has nearly doubled in the last year from 5.6% to 9.5%. This means the job market has become extremely saturated with qualified job hunters, all who are looking to set themselves apart. In my opinion, the...

The adage “Less is More” has been handed down throughout history, even though more recently the lines have been blurred because we live in an era fueled by excess. Musically, some of the best bands in the world break the mold of the typical four-member (or more) band format consisting of drums,...

I’m pretty excited about the material I’m getting to share with you today, especially since it’s only been a few days since I first stumbled upon Nashville-based, electro-pop-rockers Paper Route. What can I say: this young band makes SOUNDS!!! So hone in your Radar - here comes something...

My first contribution to Fresh Radar was about Veritas.  It is only fitting that, with their new line, I write about them again. Veritas isn’t just a clothing line.  It’s a movement towards a new way of thinking, a new way of living, a new way to help.  The fashion and art brought to...

Half-way through July, we moviegoers find ourselves in the thick of the Summer movie season, which officially kicked off back in early May.

Popular music is a genre judged more often than any other type for numerous reasons: jealousy of the mass appeal, rebellion against the mass opinion, and the fact that everyone who takes music listening seriously is a “critic.” For myself, when confounded with the issue of liking an artist who is...

I just felt terrible for the boys when I heard that their newest project, Wilco (The Album), had been leaked out over the web months prior to its scheduled release. I thought of Widespread Panic’s Don’t Tell The Band debacle several years back, and how it never quite felt right listening to that...

If you haven’t heard of The White Buffalo, now is the time.  With so much raw talent, it’s hard to believe that The White Buffalo isn’t on his way to stardom.  He is a big guy, not just physically, but vocally as well.  When you start listening to the music, you can hear everything...

This week, Michael Mann adds to his directorial filmography with Public Enemies, the John Dillinger biopic starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and a handful of supporting players you’ll probably recognize. While the film is getting mixed reviews, I feel this is mostly a result of misplaced expectations...
