Glory Daze – Review

December 1, 1997

Glory Daze is supposed to be a smart comedy about being dumb. It was written and directed by the guy who wrote The Jerky Boys.

Con Air – Review

December 1, 1997

Lots of quick-witted bad guys say lots of cool bad guy stuff during lots of innovative bad-guys-foil-good-guys-traps in which lots of stuff gets blown up.

Cinema Beer Nuts – Review

December 1, 1997

As with any mixed bag of nuts, some are savory, some are bitter, some are almost candy sweet, and a handful can be swallowed without really noticing any taste.

Dianogah – As Seen From Above – Review

December 1, 1997

Utterly uninteresting indie rock played by a band with two bass players. I seriously couldn’t find one track to salvage this mother.

Crescent – Electronic Sound Constructions – Review

December 1, 1997

Straddling space-dub and new music, Electronic Sound Constructions is very composed, but still intuitive.

Congo Norvell – Abnormals Anonymous – Review

December 1, 1997

Abnormals Anonymous goes a long way towards making the musical dime-store paperback they kept promising to write, digging deeper into the noir atmosphere.

Chuck – Westward Ho! – Review

December 1, 1997

Chuck serve it up quick, tasty, meaty, and, like practically everything else out there, it’s produced by Ryan Greene.

Bracket – Novelty Forever – Review

December 1, 1997

Catchy, quirky, guitar-driven powerpop with moody, thoughtful lyrics and melodies to make your eyebrows arch.

Coroner’s Corner – Razor Blades and Rotten Apples – Column

December 1, 1997

When the leaves and the candy corn turn brown and orange, you know it’s once again time to hit the haunted house circuit.

Yeah Yeah Yeah – Review

December 1, 1997

The subtitle of this bimonthly upstart reads “A Rock ‘n’ Roll Magazine,” but deep down, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s heart goes pop, pop, pop.
