The Shaggs – Shaggs Own Thing – Review

February 1, 1997

No one in music today (or perhaps ever) can match, or even attempt to imitate what The Shaggs did over two decades ago.

The Shaggs – Philosophy Of The World – Review

February 1, 1997

At first listen, it shocks listeners into laughter or outright panic. It seems each instrument was recorded separately, not listening to the other tracks.

The Multiple Cat – “A Test” – Review

February 1, 1997

This invokes everything from the Kinks to the Talking Heads, but with a slacker attitude. They do a half-assed job, but I guess that’s fashionable.

The Medveds – Your Drinking Ruined Christmas – Review

February 1, 1997

Mid-tempo punk rock with three guys sharing the mic. Decent pogo drinking tunes that remind me of a tighter early Queers (pre-Love Songs For the Retarded).

The Apples in Stereo – Science Faire – Review

February 1, 1997

The Apples’ juicy fruit is not forbidding, grown from the fertile seeds of pop and ripened with just the right amount of tart psych-fi additives and coloring.

Swirlies – Iris / Swirlies split – Vents Of The Ocean Floor – Review

February 1, 1997

At their best, the Swirlies are a nice collage of extreme slack-i-tude, at their worst, completely pointless. Every song is a little of both.

Enduro – Shiva Speedway / Enduro split “Moonshine” / “Sister” – Review

February 1, 1997

I can do without Enduro’s schmaltzy indie ballad on side b.

Seade – Perf – Review

February 1, 1997

I haven’t found rock too provoking since Zepplin did The Rain Song (which didn’t really rock), Seade’s Perf is an excellent grab at quality atmospheric rock.

Rose Chronicles – Happily Ever After – Review

February 1, 1997

Ethereal and enchanting, the Rose Chronicles’ Kristy Thirsk lays her smooth-as-silk vocals over the sleepwalking guitars of Richard Maranda.

Pernice Brothers – “Jimmy Coma” / “Monkey Suit” – Review

February 1, 1997

The Pernice Brothers play lazy jangle pop, like a hybrid of Scud Mountain Boys and Beck fighting his way through a Xanax stupor.
