Stereotypes Don’t Just Disappear Into Thin Air – Review

April 28, 2006

A 98 minute excuse for Zebub and his buddies to say the word “n!gger” as many times as they can. Somebody smack the shit out of Bill Zebub.

Samhain – Live 1984 Stardust Ballroom – Review

April 28, 2006

The songs are slower, more textual, and less cartoonish in their execution, but definitely traceable to the core interests of Glenn Danzig’s brutish brooding.

Salt & Pepper – Review

April 28, 2006

They didn’t leave anything out: Sword fighting, secret spy action, bombs, nuclear arms, corpses turning up all over the place, and a cartoonish chase scene.

Pulley – Beyond Warped Live Music Series – Review

April 28, 2006

Pulley are one of the bigger names featured in Immergent’s high definition chronicling, but for some reason, only seven songs make the cut. Strange.

Public Enemy – It Takes A Nation – The First London Invasion Tour 1987 – Review

April 28, 2006

The band (at this time, consisting of Professor Griff, Chuck D, Terminator X, the S1Ws, and Flavor Flav) was still getting its “sea legs,” so to speak.

MC5 – Kick Out the Jams – Review

April 28, 2006

A buncha great live footage from America’s most overrated band overlaid with hippie visual effects.

Destroy All Humans! – Review

April 28, 2006

Destroy All Humans! is a throwback to ’50s sci-fi film and television, like the campy glee of Tim Burton’s similarly punctuated 1996 flick, Mars Attacks!

Video Archive For The Ages – Review

April 28, 2006

A scattershot of videos from various punk, indie, hardcore, and metal bands. I’m sure the title was tongue in cheek, but thankfully this thing has a low price.

Man on Fire – Review

April 28, 2006

Jerky handheld work, jittery jump cuts, seemingly pointless zooms, and anarchic shifts in color palette brings to mind Fincher’s Se7en and Soderbergh’s Traffic.

The Bellrays – @ the Barfly – Review

April 28, 2006

I enjoyed the band’s second and third releases, but their third, The Red, White & Black, was a bit of a disappointment. @ the Barfly draws heavily from RW&B.
