Jim Rome – Welcome to the Jungle – Review

April 1, 1999

Rome is the confrontational Los Angeles sportscaster who rose to fame by picking a televised fight with an NFL quarterback.

Electric Frankenstein – How I Rose from the Dead – Review

April 1, 1999

The sound is good, the band is tight, tough, energetic punk rock’n’roll. They could get by with less product floating around, but they’re always great.

Wanking in the Pit – Review

April 1, 1999

Alternating Japanese with non-Japanese, Wankin’ in the Pit combines the well-known with the unknown so you’re tempted not to bother skipping around.

Radiobaghdad – 665 Neighbor of the Beast – Review

April 1, 1999

Lester Norris has a Dead Boysish ferocious, shards-of-glass-garglin’ vocal presence, and the songs are stripped-down, gut-level punk the way it oughtta be.

Until The End of Time – Review

April 1, 1999

This 8-song, 47-minute sampler is worth the bucks, just so you can toss off names of fine bands not even yer know-it-all knows.

Jimmy Eat World – Review

April 1, 1999

Bold and smooth in its production, resonated with heart-breaking melodies and inventive vocals, Jimmy Eat World encompasses everything a pop/rock band should.

The Wedding Singer – Review

April 1, 1999

This two-part soundtrack doesn’t differ significantly from those horrid late-night informercials, but I got these for free. And these are available in stores.

Jerry Seinfeld – I’m Telling You for the Last Time – Review

April 1, 1999

To my knowledge, no one’s ever noted this before, but to me it’s quite obvious: Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld were the Lennon/McCartney of comedy.

In My Eyes – The Difference Between – Review

April 1, 1999

Scream, scream, pick slide, power chord, polka beat… yawn. All these new “old school” bands just don’t grab me.

The Wedding Singer – Review

April 1, 1999

Boy meets girl, they fall for each other but are committed to others, they pal around and hide their feelings, they finally get together. Predictable but sweet.
