Epperly – Review

June 1, 1996

Epperly know their Pixies, Lemonheads, Pavement, and Jane’s Addiction roots, and don’t mind letting ’em hang out every now and then.

Eddie Skuller Band – “Life On The Top” / “Understand Me” – Review

June 1, 1996

A band that hardly anyone has heard of that is named after its front man is rarely any good.

E. Coli – To Drool – Review

June 1, 1996

Bummer pop. Churning, hypnotic, brooding. Ex of Ethyl Meatplow, Nitzer Ebb. Wear ’60s and ’70s style suits. Melancholy.

Viva Las Vegas – Review

June 1, 1996

The slickest, and possibly the trashiest, film ever made. We got the hair, the voice, the hip-shaking eathquake competitions between Elvis and Ann-Margret.

The Year of My Japanese Cousin – Review

June 1, 1996

The plot is similar to Georgia, but the music is much better. Alternative music fans may recognize Selene Vigil as the vocalist for 7 Year Bitch.

The Craft Soundtrack- Review

June 1, 1996

Jewel, All Too Much, Elastica, and Spacehog all pretty much fall short, although Graeme Revell’s “Bells, Books and Candles” has an incense-filled aura.

Talk Radio – Review

June 1, 1996

This unrelentingly black tragicomedy may just be the peak of both Stone’s and Bogosian’s careers. A little-heralded masterpiece.

Not Bad for a Girl – Review

June 1, 1996

This is not just another “chick flick” – it offers a unique perspective on women’s role in music, and examines how they cope with sexist attitudes.

Mulholland Falls – Review

June 1, 1996

The gangster/detective thing should be done with a certain finesse, so here’s a message to Hollywood: Next time you attempt this, avoid ruining a good director.

Let’s Get Lost – Review

June 1, 1996

Shot in beautiful black and white by the elusive Bruce Weber, we follow the saint of the jazz scene through his biggest fears and most elaborate dreams.
