Dogma – Review

January 1, 2000

Even if you can name 50 films that have certain elements of Dogma, you aren’t going to find one that’s remotely like it on whole.

Songs from the Penalty Box – Vol 3 – Review

January 1, 2000

Original, well-crafted (instrumentally and vocally) fast music from the likes of Dogwood, Shorthanded, and Craig’s Brother make pop-punk as enriching as ever.

Punk Rock Jukebox – Volume II – Review

January 1, 2000

Doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of the original artists or you want great renditions of old faves, Punk Rock Jukebox Volume II is worth every sing-along.

Love as Laughter- Destination 2000 – Review

January 1, 2000

Graffic Traffic – In Time For The Holidays, Unless We Bail – Column

January 1, 2000

If all goes well, you’ll have this essential column in time to use all that store-credit, once you’ve returned the Christmas gifts that suck (some people just haven’t gotten hip to the fact that it’s the gift that counts).

Pedal Faster Bicycle Rider – Review

January 1, 2000

Jejune, Very Secretary, and The Wicked Farleys all kick some ass here, so of course, a smile is automatically on my face.
