The Candy Snatchers – Human Zoo – Interview

June 1, 1999

An interview with Matthew Odietus & producer Dean Rispler

The Make Up – I Want Some – Review

June 1, 1999

They succeed musically, sure. Make-Up’s actually kinda badass’n’rump-shakin’, even while bein’ too mellow to be called “rockin'”.

Beachwood Sparks – “Desert Skies” / “Make It Together” – Review

June 1, 1999

Lushly textured jangle pop that sounds real wimpy albeit in a psychedelic manner, but girls probably like it and that’s why the guys do it.

Sarre-Chasm – Living, Breathing, and Sweating the Business – Column

June 1, 1999

I must have certifiable rocks in my head to’ve enthusiastically taken on the unenviable task of booking the bands at a club out here in Portland, Oregon.

Los Infernos – “The Outlaw” / “Beer Run” – Review

June 1, 1999

It’s almost a throwback to Restless Records’ ’80s heyday as the headquarters for hopelessly glossy metallic thrashabilly.

B.B. King – Blues on the Bayou – Review

June 1, 1999

On this outing, even the orchestrations seem pretty damn comfortable, just like Mistah Riley hisself pickin’ an’ grinnin’ on the front cover.

Stuntmen – “Unpaid Vacation” – Review

June 1, 1999

Stuntmen hail from Philly and they hone in the prevalent tendency to play real, real fast and lose their collective breath by the end of the song.

Davie Allan and the Arrows – “The Born Losers Theme” – Review

June 1, 1999

Fuzz-damaged surf vet instrumentalizes one here that sounds vaguely like “The Battlestar Galactica Theme,” but bleeding out vicious squawking sounds.

Dale Hawkins – Wildcat Tamer – Review

June 1, 1999

One could argue that “Susie Q” (which Hawkins has re-recorded for this record) was Dale Hawkins’ moment. If that’s the case it’s a helluva moment.

Mike Ness – Cheating at Solitaire – Review

June 1, 1999

Pounding drum beats, lazy-to-furious slide guitar, impeccable production, and the man’s scratchy vocal chordage.
