DJ Eddie Def – Inner Scratch Demons – Review

February 22, 2002

He’s deliberately annoying, throwing in ice-pick scratches over tinny beats, and mixing in samples of screaming babys.

David Candy – Play Power – Review

February 22, 2002

Happy, psychedelic pop music, in the style of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. But by a self-important revolutionary beatnik poet.

June 4, 2001

Japan is known for the most atrocious noise bands as well as some of the most saccharine pop. The Pixies were a buncha noise heads who wrote pop songs.
