Interview with The Movielife (2004)


if my mind's the weapon, my heart's the extra clip


The Movielife was one of the pioneering Pop/Punk bands of the last two decades and it is no surprise that this electric five-piece represents Long Island, NY. Active for 6 years [1997 - 2003], The Movielife recorded two demos, two ep's, and three studio albums. After disbanding in 2003, Vinnie Caruana (vocals) went on to form I Am The Avalanche while guitarist Brandon Reilly (formerly of The Rookie Lot) created the more rhythmic Nightmare of You.

The following interview was included on the Drive Thru Records Vol 1 DVD.

Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold (Rhymesayers, 2008)


Minnesota hip-hop artist Atmosphere's fifth studio album "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold" is an essential contemporary hip-hop album. The blend of old school beats, funk, and Slug's sick rhymes is undeniable. "Dreamer," "Puppets," and "Yesterday" are my favorite tracks off this solid LP. Check it!
