Calm Asa Coma’s self-titled debut album is an obvious freshman effort, but has enough charm to warrant future listening. Their CD opens with very literal introductions, each member playing their instrument or singing in seeming succession so you can get to know them. By the third song, you know what you like and what you… Continue reading Calm Asa Coma
This album begs to be made of summer, light as leaves and drifting on its breeze and probably would, before being blown off completely.

Last year was Michael Phelps’ year. Phelps won eight gold medals in the 2008 Olympic summer games resulting in over $50 million in endorsement deals for the 23-year-old from such companies as Subway and Kellogg’s. But one month into 2009, pictures of the Olympic hero smoking marijuana from a bong surfaced, causing an uproar. Back… Continue reading Hits from da bong
