Thought Industry – Recruited To Do Good Deeds For The Devil – Review

November 1, 1998

I am very glad to have this. It answers many questions, fills many empty spaces, and allows TI and their fans to move forward with no payload.

Chixdiggit! – Born On The First Of July – Review

November 1, 1998

It’s got all the things that make people feel good, the things that made people dig their first album. It’s easily accessible but not simplistic.

Nashing Teeth – Say a Prayer if you have a God – Column

April 1, 1998

Apologies are a commodity for me, I make a few for the stockpile when I’m not doing anything, like, sitting in a waiting room or writing music reviews.

Nashing Teeth – Bitch Slap The Mother of God – Column

December 1, 1997

Blink 182 – Dude Ranch – Review

November 1, 1997

Blink 182 is three adolescents with acne vulgaris who wear those punk blue suede tennis shoes and khaki pants, and their new album rocks.

Blanks 77 – Tanked and Pogoed – Review

November 1, 1997

The Ataris – Anywhere But Here – Review

November 1, 1997

An excellent melodic punk rock album that is as fine in technique as it is in aural aesthetics, but lyrically makes the obvious point of not having a point.
