Garbage Pail – Gloss-A-Rock – Column

November 1, 1996

Gloss-A-Rock: Smack-rock: see track-rock. Track-rock: see dead-rock. Dead-rock: see nothing anymore.

Liquor Lecture – Five Stages of Drinking – Column

November 1, 1996

Let’s be honest, if you’re 16 and you stay up all night, it’s like a victory, you’ve beaten the night, but if you’re 30, then that sun is God’s flashlight.

Viola Peacock – The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter – Review

November 1, 1996

More low-key dream Pop from Bedazzled. The more I listen to this stuff, the better it sounds.

Spasm – Review

November 1, 1996

A Best Of group with Mark Spybey of Dead Voices on Air, Eric Pounder of Lab Report, Martin Atkins of Pigface, Curse Mackey of Evil Mothers, and, uh, Satan.

Les Claypool And The Holy Mackeral – High Ball With The Devil – Review

November 1, 1996

When the other two thirds of Primus are removed, you really miss the psycho-sound effects, general guitar noodling craziness, and high-caffeine drumming.

Johnny Cash – Unchained – Review

November 1, 1996

Look, Beck wrote a tune on Unchained, as did Chris Cornell. He’s lived harder and played faster than any other man around the joint. There is no substitute.

Vampire Rodents – Gravity’s Rim – Review

October 1, 1996

Vocals are all but lost. What attracts instead is the method of delivery and the surrounding textures, which give an unsettling yet strangely holistic feeling.

Scissorfight – “Human Head” – Review

October 1, 1996

Playing this one slower than it should be. The grind gets heavier, the already low Satan-meets-Tom Waits-on-a-bad-day growl bottoms out in a pit of gravel.

Like Wow – Like Wow / Bliss Blood split – Review

October 1, 1996

Any 7″ that celebrates drinking is fine with us here in the office. Even better if the songs are sort of psychobilly. Well, drunk psychobilly.

Bliss Blood – Like Wow / Bliss Blood split – Review

October 1, 1996

The B-side is lo-fi blues with some strange sounds included like a singing saw and a jug bass. Not to mention an incredibly cool punk ukulele.
