The Bowling Green – One Pound Note – Review

June 1, 1999

Birds do it. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it. Let’s do it. Let’s sample disco in an attempt to be funky.

Lazycain – Review

June 1, 1999

Complex music that pays off with multiple listens, Five Days Eighty Hours provides labyrinth-like instrumentation that often overwhelms and surprises.

The Meteors – “Slow Down You Grave Robbing Bastard” – Review

June 1, 1999

A side has perhaps the dumbest title of any song, ever, but as psychobilly goes, whence pounded out by Englishmen, it’s twangy, sunbaked’n’pretty decent.

June 1, 1999

June 1, 1999

June 1, 1999

An interview with Matthew Odietus & producer Dean Rispler
