Underground Station – Column

April 28, 2006

Adventure Classics is perfectly named. Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, and O. Henry paired with current illustrators like Hunt Emerson and Mary Fleener.

Against Me! – Searching for a Former Clarity – Review

April 28, 2006

As someone who’s watched this band grow from their first 7″, I’d say Searching for a Former Clarity gives Reinventing Axl Rose a run for its money.

Mental Shrapnel: Pick Up Lines That Never Work – Column

April 28, 2006

Lollipop has a long history of making fun of stupid people, stupid trends, over-hyped movies, TV shows, bands, and anything else we see.

In Living Color – Season Three – Review

April 28, 2006

An essential multi-disc collection: 1) It rocks. 2) J-Lo shakes her booty in bad early ’90s clothes. 3) Bloopers, bloopers, bloopers!

I, Robot – Review

April 28, 2006

Combines the sci-fi and detective genres in a realistic future setting where robots perform tasks from delivering mail to rescuing humans in danger.

The Gathering – A Sound Relief – Review

April 28, 2006

Expertly shot, 15-song show of mellow songs. This causes impatience, but is quelled by Anneke looking great in white top, white pants, and white sneakers.

Suicide Girls – The First Tour – Review

April 28, 2006

This is a documentary about the Suicide Girls doing a tour with a burlesque style live show. I’ve seen burlesque shows done well, this ain’t it.

Punk: Attitude – Review

April 28, 2006

From MC5 to Blink-182, and all the cultural aspects that were spawned from the all-encompassing movement. The fashion, safety pins, crude language, and ‘zines.

Burnout – Revenge – Review

April 28, 2006

My list of complaints with Burnout: Revenge is fairly lengthy since this is marketed as a complete sequel. Revenge feels more like an expansion than a new game.

The Muggs – Review

April 28, 2006

Musically, it’s equal parts AC/DC and Foghat, with raspy, slightly snotty vocals heavy on important words like “baby,” and I just can’t get enough.
