Electric Frankenstein – Camden Underworld, London: 17 December 2000 – Review

January 3, 2003

The shots of the frantic headbanging and slamming, and the occasional crowd shots from behind the drummer beautifully capture the club atmosphere.

The Hellacopters- Cream of the Crap – Review

January 3, 2003

This is sort of a no-brainer, really. Fine as much of the music on this CD is, there should be a sticker saying “For Geeks Only” on the jewel case.

Motörhead – 25 & Alive: Boneshaker – Review

January 3, 2003

Recorded at the Brixton Academy on the band’s 25th anniversary, this DVD preserves the evening’s entire 23-song set, complete with oodles of special guests.

T-Model Ford – Bad Man – Review

January 3, 2003

Bad Man is raw like a wound scrubbed with steel wool, jagged like the neck snapped from a bottle of Thunderbird ESQ, and chock full of soul and attitude.

Don Chambers – Back in the Woods – Review

November 22, 2002

Though the vocals themselves are ridiculously Waitsian, the music itself is not so obvious. It’s a lot closer to a traditional folk record.

Solomon Burke – Don’t Give Up On Me – Review

November 15, 2002

A contemporary of legends like Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding, Solomon Burke made a series of incredible recordings in the ’60s and ’70s. And then he vanished.

The Mushroom River Band – Simsalabim – Review

November 15, 2002

Tempos are as fast you can get without being “extreme,” there are Tipton/Downing guitar duels, and Spice (ex-Spiritual Beggars) screams as much as he sings.

Colin’s Sleazy Friends: Raw and Extreme – Review

November 8, 2002

Though I’ve never heard of the show, it would seem, by the host of celebrities and hipsters who appear on the DVD and claim to be fans, plenty of others have.

Cooking With Pornstars – Review

November 8, 2002

It’s not porn, but you get plenty of nudity and the male/female relationships are roughly the same: The women are portrayed as hot and the guy is portrayed as annoying.

The Ribeye Brothers – If I Had a Horse – Review

November 8, 2002

I wanted to hear two guys from Monster Magnet (John Kleiman and Tim Cronin) make a country album. And I’m still waiting for it.
