Now, as you may or may not be able to tell but you probably should if you are a functioning adult, that I am a fan of these speakers. I tried them, enjoyed them, fell in love with them, grew apart because I started to use my beats, then came back to them. None of that actually happen, but they ...

music/walter-schreifels Walter Schreifels is probably best known as a member of acts such as Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, and Rival Schools, but his first release under his own name shows that when the distortion is stripped away, Schreifels truly shines. An Open Letter to the Scene features everything from folk-inspired rockers (“She Is to Me”) and jangly tracks reminiscent of Teenage Fanclub ......
music/matt-pond-pa Matt Pond PA may not have the same hype surrounding them that peers like Vampire Weekend do, but when it comes to sweetly satisfying indie rock, it’s hard to top Pond’s unique brand of heartbreak. Their eighth album doesn’t disappoint; from orchestral-tinged ballads such as “Running Wild” to ambient excursions like “Winter Fawn,” the album sees Pond ......
music/dashboard-confessional As Dashboard Confessional’s fan base grew, so did their sound. What started as Chris Carrabba wrestling out heartache alone on a stage with an acoustic guitar has grown into a full-size band with a big sound designed to back the singer’s growing songwriting skills. The center of that sound will always be Carrabba’s voice diving from a ...

blog/institutional-correction All types of people like to read Inked. Some of them may be in correctional institutions, but it occasionally gets sent back to us. Just thought we'd share this with you as the reasons seem to be completely absurd and some of them bear no relation to the actual content of the magazine (i.e. gang related activities). So ......
blog/illegal-tattoos The right to tattoo is being fought in Hermosa Beach, California by John Anderson, owner of the Yer Cheat'n Heart tattoo shop. Anderson has been denied the request to relocate his shop from Gardenia to Hermosa Beach, based on the zoning laws that do not allow tattooing anywhere in the city. Officials claim its a danger to public health ......

blog/inked-oscars From the red carpet to the stage, tattoos were the talk of tinsel town at Sunday night's Academy Awards. Miley Cyrus commented on her mom's "nice choice in tattoos," to Ryan Seacrest. Nominated for Best Actress Helen Mirren's hand tattoo made her "even hotter," according to presenter Michael Sheen. Although Mirren told Good Morning America that it ......

Ripa got inked at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn, NY, and lets ......
music/ted-leo-and-pharmacists Ted Leo may be the hardest-working man in punk. Although his sixth full-length with the Pharmacists may not have any songs as infectious as “Me and Mia,” from his incendiary 2004 effort Shake the Sheets, it is probably his most consistent effort to date. While the album is teeming with plenty of politically motivated rock songs, The Brutalist Bricks also ......
music/frightened-rabbit Scotland is known for a lot of things, like its whiskey and … some other stuff we can’t recall.

From expertly crafted ballad “Swim Until You Can ......
music/fucked The career of Fucked Up has been, well, fucked up. The Canadian band blew up the formula for hardcore with the album Hidden World, played stunt gigs such as performing for 12 straight hours in NYC, then released The Chemistry of Common Life, a massive wall of noise complete with violins. Despite that, this two-CD collection of B-sides and alternate ......
music/converge Writers hate reviewing a new Converge album. The kings of underground hardcore metal deliver so consistently that it becomes an exercise in finding new ways to say, “They still shred.” Enter Axe to Fall, the most straightforward Converge album yet. It’s apparent from the opening blast of “Dark Horse,” a galloping shot of guitars and throat-searing screams, that Converge ......

Under the reign of evil Lord Doviculus and his glam rockin’ minion General ......
drive/hip-be-square As the SUV craze sputters to a halt, automotive designers are learning to provide space and ? exibility in cool box-shaped vehicles, all without, um, cutting corners. Honda led the way with the Element (said to be fashioned after a Malibu Beach lifeguard station), and Toyota followed with the hugely successful Scion xB. Now the Ford Flex and the Kia Soul ......
drive/rolllin-green The Toyota Prius hybrid might do it for Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz in Hollywood, but it's not going to fly with the wide array of Americans, from NFL players to PTA members, looking for something bigger and badder. And that's the riddle of the alternative-fuel auto marketplace: we are not a one-size-fits-all culture—as the tattoo community ......
article/tracy-morgan Tracy Morgan isn't shy. Anyone who's caught him on a talk show knows he's as quick to strip down as he is to declare his intentions to impregnate half of the audience.

inked-spots/everlasting-tattoo “We are more or less the anti-shop shop,” says Everlasting Tattoo’s Henry Lewis about this staple on the San Francisco tattoo scene. “We’re more like a fine arts tattoo gallery.” Why? To begin, there is no flash of any kind in the store. Instead the walls are decorated with paintings by the artists, many of who have had ......
inked-people/jose-mangin The new host of MTV’s Headbangers Ball, José Mangin, got his first tat- too at 16 (Pantera’s famous Cowboys From Hell logo) and was hooked. But it was his encounter with the band’s late, great guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, that got him addicted. “I walked up to him and said, ‘Scarred for life, man,’ and he totally tripped ......
inked-people/erik-ellington Pro skateboarder Erik Ellington’s first-ever tattoo was nearly a casualty of his INKED photo shoot. “I went bombing down a hill and slammed,” the 31-year-old skater recounts. “I rolled down the hill like a rag doll, scraping up my whole right side.” The fall slashed up the word “Balance” on his upper arm—the name of the skate company ......

At the time, Bleeding through was ......

Instead, in his street-front medical office ......
