KRK wants you to enjoy your music and pay less to do it. The Rokits front-firing bass port, soft-domed tweeter and glass aramid composite yellow cone combine to make one great-sounding monitor. Simply put, these are quality, value-priced monitors. The KRK Rokit G2 Series monitors come in three sizes: 5”, 6” and 8” and have a price of $149, $199 and $249, respectively, per speaker. Ear candy never sounded sweeter.

Shitdisco is far from being your typical indie band. In place of rising to fame one small venue at a time, these guys decided to take an alternative approach to their music. Instead, they built a reputation for organizing and playing free parties and raves in the most outlandish places imaginable: squats, streets, abandoned railway tunnels, shipping containers and caravans. But forming a band was never their primary goal while getting a higher education at Glasgow Art School. “We were an art project rather than a band, making violent noise on a tour around five shipping containers at various locations in the city,” says Joel Stone, who plays bass, guitar and vocals for the band. Joe Reeves also plays bass, guitar and vocals, Darren Cullen bangs on drums and Tom Straughan massages the keyboards, while also helping out with backup vocals.
All active NFL players exhaled a sigh of relief when EA chose formerly-retired Brett Favre for their cover, sparing All-Pros from the dreaded Madden Curse. Unfortunately for Favre, dude decided to come out of retirement for one more shot at glory with…the Jets? Brett, what in hell are you thinking…the Jets??? Well, at least when he gets taken out with a career-ending knee injury in Week 3 he will be spared from what would surely be the worst season of his career. But what about the game, you ask? Well, all the standard goodies are still here: online play, full rosters, franchise, the chance to play cheap with the New England Patriots, and your God-given right to talk that smack after bringing the house to take out the Manning brothers. And for the stat and GM geeks, the limited edition comes with NFL Head Coach.
