Star People – Genius – Review

April 1, 2001

If Egon of Ghostbusters made an album, this would be it. Slip on your silver glitter deely-boppers, adjust your Coke bottle glasses, and rock out, Earthlings.

Hannah Fury – Soul Poison – Review

April 1, 2001

Sighing, dying nymph. Delicate arpeggios. Tori Amos Goth.

Charlie’s Angels – Review

April 1, 2001

The ideal coming-out party and chick initiation rite for young D’Artagnan. I will forever hold the movie as a high point in my career of femininity.

For those who enjoy such things as fine, olde English music with deeply evile words but complete with authentic HURDY-GURDY playing purchase Burn, Witch, Burn.

Abby Travis – Cutthroat Standards & Black Pop – Review

April 1, 2001

Muscularly-lipsticked actor Tom Hewitt butches and babes-up Frank ‘N’ Furter to the hilt. With a blonde buzz cut that shines like razors.

Jane Wiedlin – Kissproof World – Review

April 1, 2001

Wiedlin has created hot, quick songs – with keyboards plus guitars and drums – keeping the high-speed, heavy hook appeal of her Go-Go’s days.

Two Ton Boa – Review

September 1, 2000

Fraser harnesses images of horror to torture the men who deserve it. She thrusts rich cheats into Hell, with insects clicking their wings in their nostrils.
