Prestige Format: Music, Books, Movies

  • Prestige Format Guide to Upcoming Releases, Early 2015

    Lots of music that’s coming out that I am excited about! January 1/13 Panda Bear – vs. The Grim Reaper — I loved Person Pitch and was less enthused by Tomboy. The prerelease mix and EP have skewed pretty beat-heavy, so I’m excited. Teen Daze – A World Away EP — The two tracks released…

  • Free Music Roundup

    I love free music! Especially free music that is being handed out legally and with love. A ton of good stuff has come out recently! Check it out: 2014 was a great year for (free) label compilations. Here are some of my favorites: Ghostly International x Adult Swim presents Ghostly Swim 2 — Mostly ambient electronic…

  • Favorite Albums, 2014

    These aren’t necessarily the “best” albums that came out last year, but they’re definitely the ones I’ve listened to the most. Alphabetically:

  • Station ID: January 2015 Edition

    Hi, I’m Ryan. I’m on twitter and instagram. I have a wordpress blog and a tumblr where I talk music and comics. I do some podcasts: Four Color Commentary Podcast (feed/iTunes) is a comic book review podcast I do with my pals Ian, Chew and Alan.

  • Christmas Music 2014

    It’s the week of Christmas, which means it’s time for wall-to-wall Christmas music at my household. But Sinatra, Ella and Phil Spector’s Christmas Gift for You can only get you so far. Here’s a round up of the best weird Christmas stuff: Chill Mega Chill records has a good Christmas tape-label compilation out this year.…

  • Pacific Rim: The Problem of the Wall

    If you haven’t seen the incredible greatness that is Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM, this article may make no sense to you. It also contains spoilers. I loved PACIFIC RIM. I cared about the characters, and they weren’t all white and male, which is always nice to see. Also I cared about the INCREDIBLE ROBOT…

  • Prestige Format Review: Bandette 1-3

    Have you read Monkeybrain Comics’ Bandette yet? There are three issues on Comixology for 99¢ apiece. That’s $2.97 for a lot of good comics! Charming and adventurous like a hip Tintin, Bandette is a coquettish rogue who splits her time between stealing, helping put-upon Inspector BG Belgique capture criminals, and building her network of street…

  • Prestige Format Review: Multiple Warheads

    Multiple Warheads is a seriously bizarre comic by writer-artist Brandon Graham. Known for his epic manga about cat-masters, King City, and his critically-lauded reinvention of the much-derided Rob Liefield science-fiction book Prophet, Graham has a history of occasionally letting his id loose on comics projects. Usually he lets it loose in short stories for dirty…
