Matt Poole: 3 Record Reviews and a Little Intro
More by: Matt Poole
As anyone who has seen my room at the Suicide House can attest I love records. There is barely enough room to walk in between my bed and dresser due to a cascade of vinyl that has long overflowed my meager shelf space. I don’t mind, there are still 100’s, 1000’s of slices of exciting [...]

It seems that as the human race evolves, the faster we create more impressive technology. What I mean by creating technology faster is easily explained through video games. In 30 years it has gone from two white paddles bouncing a white square back and fourth to massive online community games that are filled with 3-D [...]
