Sharkboy – The Valentine Singles – Review

December 1, 1995

Like a large jewelry box, The Valentine Singles contains four 45s. Woozy from umbrella-topped drinks but not tipsy enough to falter from perfect elegance feel.

Milkmoney – Wheelie – Review

December 1, 1995

Milkmoney sound more like how your body feels after eating a visually satisfying meal without nutritional value.

Juliana Luecking – Dream Cum Go Down – Review

December 1, 1995

Julianna Leucking goes to clubs, parks, the supermarket, etc., and asks questions. A collection of short interviews with lesbians by a lesbian.

Gem – Hexed – Review

December 1, 1995

Gem are the all-star game of Ohio indie rock, with members of Cobra Verde, Prisonshake, and Death of Samantha. Hexed shines more often than not.

Garden Variety – Knocking the Skill Level – Review

December 1, 1995

The guitars make a collage of painterly abstract art, and the drums are an eraser following close behind, smudging everything into new and less coherent forms.

Exit 13 – Just a Few More Hits – Review

December 1, 1995

A self-reviewing CD. On “Constant Persistence of Annoyance,” my feelings are echoed beautifully in the opening soundbite. “I’m impatient with stupidity.”

Dogmatics – 1981-86 – Review

December 1, 1995

Dogmatics were like a more laid-back Doggy Style, with an obvious, albeit slowed-down Ramones’ influence. It’s difficult to believe they spawned Smackmelon.

D.O.A. – The Black Spot – Review

December 1, 1995

Energetic, political, tongue-in-cheek hardcore punk that we’ve come to expect. They’ve been coasting since the mid-’80s. Don’t waste your time on this one.

I Met My Angels – Fiction

December 1, 1995

The clothes I wore were littered with cast-off dead skin and cast off dead thoughts, some of which belonged to me, none of which belonged to anyone.

A Slice Of Lemon – Review

November 1, 1995

If you enjoyed the comps Kill Rock Stars, Stars Kill Rock, or Rock Stars Kill, then you’ll be into this double CD as well. There are 39 bands, one track each.
