The Stuffings – Macro Metal – Review

February 1, 1996

Macro Metal may be a bunch of really stoned guys in a living room with a four track and too many effect pedals, just fucking around and giggling. But so what?

My God Can Beat Up Your God – Fiction

December 1, 1995

We tried to wake up Vishnu, but he’s always asleep, and Krishna’s having too much fun with the milkmaids to want to join in.

Jonny Polonsky – Hi, I’m Jonny Polonsky – Review

November 1, 1995

Jonny Polonsky has an odd sensibility to his goof indie music. With the blessings of Frank Black, he’s gonna be on every college radio station in a few weeks.
