Mars Attacks! – Review

September 1, 1997

An undeniable feast for the eyes, packed with visual invention and a bright, vibrant color scheme that puts the gauzy murk of Hollywood to shame.

Primus – The Brown Album – Review

September 1, 1997

The wonderfully odd trio, Primus are back with their fifth album of off-kilter ditties and rubber band melodies.

Gridlock’d – Review

September 1, 1997

Imagine the hopelessness of Kids melding with the amusing anecdotes of The Breakfast Club, though perhaps Clerks might offer a less glitzy alternative.

Flirting With Disaster – Review

September 1, 1997

And from there, things get really wacky. That’s a polite way of saying, “Good lord, this movie is getting stupid.”

Coroner’s Corner – Saving Two Hours Of Your Life – Column

Beavis and Butt-head Do America – Review

September 1, 1997

I quite like it when they break stuff.

September 1, 1997

Paul K and the Weathermen – Love is a Gas – Review

September 1, 1997

If Nick Cave found his happy place, went to Vegas, won some cash, listened to a little lounge, and stopped for a quick lobotomy, it might sound like this.
