The Last Days of Disco – Review

April 1, 1999

You learn about the characters mostly through how they interact, what they admit without realizing it, and what it’s obvious they’re trying not to say.

Puller – Closer Than You Think – Review

April 1, 1999

I have mixed feelings about this one. Some of the songs are really good, but it just doesn’t pack enough hooks overall.

The Pink and the Black – A Goth and Glam Compilation – Review

April 1, 1999

Don’t feel bad if only a few names sound familiar here. In fact, feel very, very good about it.

The New Frontier – A Collection of Colorado Punk Bands – Review

April 1, 1999

30 songs ranging from pop punk to grimy punk to ska punk to kinda metalish hardcore punk to complete shit.

Houseboy – 1465 Tamarack Street Press Room – Review

April 1, 1999

Blasting through song after song of fast-paced melodic punk, Houseboy deserve better. Way better.

The Burning Man Festival – Review

April 1, 1999

From the opening credits to the interview at the end with the guy who cleans and carts away the portable toilets, the film is predictably unpredictable.

Home 33 – Live at Coney Island High – Review

April 1, 1999

Adopting Helmet’s riffing and stop-and-go rhythms, Home 33 makes this played-out formula really enjoyable by simply rocking the shit out of it.

The Blackest Album – An Industrial Tribute to Metallica – Review

April 1, 1999

A few really cool covers here, mixed with versions that make me want to shut this off and dig out the originals.

Hellworms – Crowd Repellent – Review

April 1, 1999

Ex-Victims Family/Saturn’s Flea Collar folk, Ralph Spight and Larry Boothroyd, join up with drummer Joaquin Spengemann to produce some rockin’ brainy prog punk.

Snake Eyes – Review

April 1, 1999

Only fatalistic determination, a full bottle of Captain Morgan’s, and lack of anything better to do kept me from flushing this stinkbomb halfway through.
