A roof replacement is one of the most important investments you will ever make for your home. Choosing the right contractor to handle the job is just as vital as the quality of materials that go on top of your house. Homeowners often must choose between hiring a large, external company or partnering with experienced roofers. The choice to go local offers several advantages that bring both peace of mind and long-lasting results. Let’s read about them in detail.

Have you stepped into your bathroom lately and feeling like something just feels… off? Maybe it’s the chipped tiles, outdated fixtures, or the colors that don’t quite match your current taste. In a busy city like Allentown, PA, where homes range from historic buildings to modern spaces, a bathroom can quickly fall behind the rest of the house. A refresh doesn’t always mean a complete remodel — sometimes, even small changes can make a big difference in how your bathroom feels and functions.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Bob Stinson of The Replacements took a drunken detour into Dante’s Inferno, well, Stinson’s Inferno answers that question in the most gloriously unhinged way possible. This 24-page graphic novel is a punk-rock fever dream where LA’s Sunset Strip stands in for Hell, and Stinson, guided by none other than Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones (as Virgil), stumbles his way through an afterlife packed with fallen rock gods. Yes, it exists. Continue reading Yes, It Exists: Stinson’s Inferno Graphic Novel→
Check out this week’s Video Clip and you may wonder why New Jersey’s Toy Cars were inspired to name this song after the Icelandic pop artist “Bjork.” The lyrics don’t seem to directly address Bjork or Bjork-like activities (whatever those may be), nor does she appear in the clip, either in-person or by effigy. However, her name does get written on a small dry-erase board magnetized to a fridge at one point. So there’s that. Perhaps it is some sort of inspirational homage, which we find in This Video, or when Tame Impala named one of their songs “Led Zeppelin.” These are possibilities to consider in solving a riddle that is otherwise an enigma.

I saw Color Me Obsessed, The Replacements’ documentary, last night and really enjoyed it. It was a good-sized crowd in the theater, though probably with the narrowest age range you would ever see at a movie (from about age 45 – 55 ). First and foremost, Color Me Obsessed is a movie for fans only. Each story about a particularly awesome or atrocious gig was met with knowing nods and laughs from the crowd. I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t know about the band enjoying it. And, with no music from them included in the film (more about that later), it doesn’t expose them to a new audience.
