Writings On Glass – Review

September 1, 1999

Richard Kostelanetz does an admirable job in pulling together a cohesive representation of Philip Glass through the individual collective of the critic’s eye.

Garbage Pail – It’s Time for a Softer, Gentler America – Column

September 1, 1999

What I would like to add at this point is that the news about Americans distrusting a sexually active man is the door into the White House which I’ve been eagerly awaiting. I am 35 years old and a natural-born citizen of the United States. I’ve been impotent for years.

Honeyglazed – The Trouble with Girls – Review

September 1, 1999

And while the layered girl vocals teeter close to B-52’s territory, the pounding drums and distorted roar of lead bass remind you this is rock-yer-ass rock.

H2O – F.T.T.W. – Review

September 1, 1999

Sticking by their “unity” ideology, light-hearted melodic tendencies, and overall fun/energetic vibe, their records have been getting better and better.

There are enough weak-assed clones self-gestating and bringing carpet-bombing techniques to that precise dart-game that is humor.

Guttermouth – Gorgeous – Review

September 1, 1999

The same manic energy, but the rhythms sound familiar and the lyrics just aren’t as funny as they useta be. But there are a few soon-to-be classics.

Music Hound Swing! – Review

September 1, 1999

Swing! doesn’t seem like it’s going for the novice, or neophyte, or faddish fan. It’s aiming for the stout of heart, the hardcore swing lover.

London Live – Review

September 1, 1999

Part pop history, part travel guide, London Live concentrates for the most part on the 25-year period between the 1950s and ’70s.
