Paul Westerberg – Come Feel Me Tremble – Review

April 5, 2004

Full of Westerberg’s compelling vocals, ranging in style from post-punk frontman to confessional balladeer. Not the best songs he’s ever written, but they feel so right and are have his “wet basement and a four-track” feel.

The Special Goodness – Land Air Sea – Review

March 29, 2004

You know how Weezer’s Maladroit rocked fuzzy guitars in a weird, slow, brashy way that nobody really liked? The same concept is in effect here. The Special Goodness is the brainchild of Weezer drummer Pat Wilson.

The Silent Treatment – Review

March 22, 2004

This is classic MidWestern emo, no fuss about it. The trailing arpeggios, the accented guitar/drums interplay, the yelping.

The Radio Hour – Review

March 22, 2004

Procession Came Opposite – Oceans – Review

March 22, 2004

Preston School of Industry- Monsoon – Review

March 22, 2004

That-other-guy-from-Pavement, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, returns with his second Preston School of Industry album, sounding more Terror Twilight than either “Date With Ikea” or “Two States.”
