Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King - Dave Matthews Band

Snikl is a long-time fan of the Dave Matthews Band, so when we heard that they were putting out their first new studio album in over four years – Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King [iTunes]- we got excited … and nervous. We were concerned that the death of their saxophone player, LeRoi Moore, might change the band’s overall sound, which we have come to know and love. But our concerns were misplaced.

If you have heard the first single, Funny the Way It Is [iTunes], then you know that the new album is fantastic. It’s everything you love about Dave Matthews Band, back for another album. To hear snippets for yourself or purchase the album, visit iTunes or Amazon.

Alpha Romeo 8C

Have you ever wanted to drive a Ferrari? Of course you have, but the closest dealership is 200 miles away and you know they wouldn’t let you test drive one even if you walked in wearing you finest suit. Sure you could rent one, but why when public roads would never let you truly test the car’s capabilities. For guys who feel like the opportunity to drive an exotic car the way it was designed to be driven may never occur in your lifetime,  you might want to checkout the World Class Cars U.S. tour schedule.

For about the same price that you would pay to rent an exotic car, you will be given the chance to prove just how good of a driver you really are – and not just in a Ferrari. You will get to drive ten different models as hard as you want for about 30 minutes each. That’s five hours of physics defying, testosterone inducing fun. The cars include a Maserati Gran Tourismo, a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, a Lamborghini Superleggera, an Audi R8, and Snikl favorite, the Alfa Romeo 8C.

Apple Airport Express

Music
AirTunes takes the music from the iTunes library on your computer and sends it wirelessly to any stereo or speakers in your home. All you have to do is plug an AirPort Express into an electrical outlet near those speakers, then connect them with an audio cable. In iTunes, you can choose which speakers you want your music to play on–in your den, living room, or bedroom. If you have more than one AirPort Express connected to speakers, you can play the same music on all your speakers at the same time to create a whole-house musical experience. Plus, if you already have a wireless network in place, you can use AirPort Express to add music to its capabilities.

Legend - The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers

Even as greatest hits packages go, this is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of “I Shot the Sheriff,” the hymn-like “No Woman, No Cry,” or the sheer joy of “Jamming.” Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, then Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one five-inch compact disc. He was unique, and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon. –Chris Nickson

1950 Petrus Bordeaux Blend

About 1950 Petrus Bordeaux Blend

About the Winery Petrus
“The Pomerol appellation is comprised of small properties producing modest quantities of generally excellent wines, at expensive prices. Pomerols are usually rich and full-bodied red wines, which blend the aromas of black cherry, black currant and blackberry. These are well-structured and complex wines. Château Petrus’ vineyards cover 5.5 acres and produce 35,000 bottles per year. Thanks to the astute management of Christian Moueix and his team, Petrus is reputed to be the best Pomerol in the world. Indeed, the processes used by Château Petrus have resulted in the creation of a wine characterized by an intense, dark color, and by extremely delicate tannins.”

Reviews of 1950 Petrus Bordeaux Blend

99 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 1994
Tasted 3 Times With Consistent Notes It was the extraordinary 1950 Petrus, along with the 1950 Lafleur, first served to me years ago by Jean-Pierre Moueix, that made me realize how spectacular this vintage must have been in Pomerol. The wine is still a young, mammothly-constituted Petrus that is less evolved than more recent knock-out vintages such as 1961. Massive and rich, with spectacular color saturation and the sweet, unctuous texture Petrus obtains in ripe years, this wine will last for another 20-30 years.

99 points, Wine Spectator
February 1991
A truly great wine from an overlooked vintage. Amazingly young, from its undeveloped ruby color to its fresh flavors. Captivating, meaty cassis and berry aromas; full-bodied, with tons of velvety fruit flavors and a long finish. Superb.–Pétrus vertical. Drink now. –JS

U2 - Achtung Baby (featuring the hit single One)

“I’m ready / Ready for what’s next,” Bono announces at the outset of Achtung Baby, the album that proved the so-called “band of the ’80s” was capable of blazing into the ’90s by replacing its flag-waving arena-rock stance with screaming synths, clubby rhythms, and industrial skronk. The group advances its sound without losing accessibility on “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses,” “Even Better Than the Real Thing,” and “Mysterious Ways,” while pushing the envelope a bit more on “The Fly,” “Zoo Station,” and “Acrobat.” The moody ballad “One” is arguably the finest song the band has produced, full of sorrow, compassion, and hope all at the same time. –Daniel Durchholz

The Godfather DVD Collection

Features: the godfather: the godfather ii: the godfather iii: each featuring a new full-length directors audio commentary. Plus a three hour extraordinary bonus disc produced especially for the dvd collection. English subtitles and closed captioning. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/23/2006 Run time: 725 minutes Rating: R

Throughout his long, wandering, often distinguished career Francis Ford Coppola has made many films that are good and fine, many more that are flawed but undeniably interesting, and a handful of duds that are worth viewing if only because his personality is so flagrantly absent. Yet he is and always shall be known as the man who directed the Godfather films, a series that has dominated and defined their creator in a way perhaps no other director can understand. Coppola has never been able to leave them alone, whether returning after 15 years to make a trilogy of the diptych, or re-editing the first two films into chronological order for a separate video release as The Godfather Saga. The films are our very own Shakespearean cycle: they tell a tale of a vicious mobster and his extended personal and professional families (once the stuff of righteous moral comeuppance), and they dared to present themselves with an epic sweep and an unapologetically tragic tone. Murder, it turned out, was a serious business. The first film remains a towering achievement, brilliantly cast and conceived. The entry of Michael Corleone into the family business, the transition of power from his father, the ruthless dispatch of his enemies–all this is told with an assurance that is breathtaking to behold. And it turned out to be merely prologue; two years later The Godfather, Part II balanced Michael’s ever-greater acquisition of power and influence during the fall of Cuba with the story of his father’s own youthful rise from immigrant slums. The stakes were higher, the story’s construction more elaborate, and the isolated despair at the end wholly earned. (Has there ever been a cinematic performance greater than Al Pacino’s Michael, so smart and ambitious, marching through the years into what he knows is his own doom with eyes open and hungry?) The Godfather, Part III was mostly written off as an attempted cash-in, but it is a wholly worthy conclusion, less slow than autumnally patient and almost merciless in the way it brings Michael’s past sins crashing down around him even as he tries to redeem himself. –Bruce Reid
