Seam – The Pace is Glacial – Review

January 1, 1999

I was so happy to be doin’ somethin’ other than listenin’ to singer/guitarguy Sooyoung Park’s my-crown-of-thorns-are-a-prickin’-my-heart-on-my-sleeve drivel.

Garbage Pail – The Atomic Cafe – Column

January 1, 1999

Relive those fabulous fifties in an atmosphere of fear, paranoia and good eatin’! The war may be cold but the food is piping hot!

Screeching Weasel – Television City Dream – Review

January 1, 1999

The New Guy’s Not Working Out – Fiction

January 1, 1999

It wasn’t like Willis to compromise, but the new guy was persuasive. They agreed to salvage the “Love” sign by changing it to “Love Jesus or Burn in Hell!”

Rasputina – How We Quit The Forest – Review

January 1, 1999

These three young corset-attired women decided to innovate, grabbing Chris Vrenna (X-NIN) to help produce, bringing in an electronic aspect to the chamber trio.
