Boy George – Cheapness and Beauty – Review

October 1, 1995

Cheapness and Beauty is supposed to be a forum for George to proselytize on a number of subjects, but the lyrics rarely do little more than scratch the surface.

September 1, 1995

After 21 years of intentionally moronic punk classics, the four troglodytes from the deepest caves of Brooklyn have decided to go out with dignity.

Foo Fighters – Review

September 1, 1995

No, it doesn’t reach the heights of Nirvana’s best stuff, but there are moments when it comes damn close.

The Last Libertines – Review

Mah city-slicker cousin, Chris – he goes to college, y’unnerstan’ – he says these here songs are just a buncha slicked-up country-pop cowflaps.

Luna – Penthouse – Review

July 1, 1995

Luna is the brainchild of former Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham. Most of the songs continue in Luna’s established vein of Velvet Undergroundy pop.

The Shoes – Fret Buzz – Review

July 1, 1995

This album doesn’t even deserve a good insult. The guitars were mixed well. The record’s about as exciting and eventful as a trip to the refrigerator.

The Boo Radleys – Wake Up! – Review

July 1, 1995

Every song is ludicrously catchy, laden with instantly memorable hooks and choruses, drenched with melody that rivals McCartney’s when he was still good.

The Verve – A Northern Soul – Review

June 1, 1995

Swirling, tempestuous psychedelia laden with starospheric atmospheres and a melancholic mood.
