My Top Ten List – Column

December 1, 1996

Steel Miners – All Hopped Up: Six scuzzy nuggets that fly by in two minute garage bursts. It’s coarse, crude, mean, and hands down the best record of 1996.

Lex’s Top Ten of ’96 – Column

December 1, 1996

Squirrel Nut Zippers – Hot: One of the most exciting live shows I’ve seen. Dixieland has once again been fired with new blood and new ideas. Even punks like it.

Nik’s Piks For Ninety-Sihks – Column

December 1, 1996

Stereolab – Emperor Tomato Ketchup: I’m tempted to call this their best retro-techno concoction yet. It’s also their best album with a condiment in the title.

I Didn’t Do A Top Ten List Because… – Column

December 1, 1996

I decided to be the one to name-drop the good bands in the dime-a-dozen genres. Namely punk, metal, and unsigned bands. Then I fixed myself a very large drink.

Garbage Pail – Glossarock – Column

December 1, 1996

Glossarock: toner-rock – (bands with flyers on black paper with white lettering). yeah, right-rock – (bands that claim to be uncategorizable).

Garbage Pail – If You Can’t Say Anything Nice… – Column

December 1, 1996

If You Can’t Say Anything Nice: … use a pseudonym. … do it in 500 words or less. … you’re hired.

Garbage Pail – Scene Splicing – Column

December 1, 1996

Scene Splicing: Pearl Bailey Jam. Foogazi Fighters. Dead Can Danzig.

Graffic Traffic – Column

December 1, 1996

Chuck Dixon weaves a story that makes sense, holds together, and incredibly, actually adds to the Joker persona and to the on-going Joker-Batman entanglement.

Liquor Lecture – Rye – Column

December 1, 1996

Not nearly as sweet as Bourbon, not even close to as smooth as Scotch, Rye Whiskey is a “drinker’s drink.”

Prelude to a Lick – The Editor’s Rant – Column

December 1, 1996

What’s this got to do with Lollipop’s December issue? Nothing. There is no point, and that’s the way I like it.
