Dillinger Four – Situationist Comedy – Interview

August 16, 2002

An interview with St. Patrick Costello

Punch Drunk – III – Review

August 2, 2002

A grouchy reviewer might grumble that TKO’s latest sampler is mostly filler, but an astute music historian would point out it’s merely carrying on the legacy.

Lookout! Freakout – Episode 2 – Review

August 2, 2002

Lookout Records is now a shadow of its former self, while I’m listening to Enslaved and getting closer and closer to giving up on “pop-punk” altogether.

Give ‘Em the Boot – III – Review

August 2, 2002

More interesting than the average label sampler; but once you get to the third mediocre side project, it starts to feel like an inside joke.

PipeDown – Enemies of Progress – Review

July 5, 2002

Good music can justify a lot of nonsense. Pipedown, on the other hand, sound like an uncomfortable cross between lightweight “punk” and lightweight “hardcore.”

The Lawrence Arms – Apathy and Exhaustion – Review

May 31, 2002

Once you strip away the weird cover, the goofy titles, the “if we forgot ya, fuck ya” thank-you list, and the liquor store photos, you have a very safe record.

Bigwig – An Invitation to Tragedy – Review

March 22, 2002

Guitar riffs fly everywhere, drums speed up and slow down, the whole band stops and starts on a dime, and they even find time to give the bassist some.

Tilt – Been Where? Did What? – Review

March 8, 2002

A collection of early demos, out-takes, and rarities, has finally put to rest the question of if “Weave and Unravel” was a brilliant fluke.

Mi6 – Lunchbox – Review

March 1, 2002

Mi6 makes my Screeching Weasel records sound more soulful, my Strung Out records sound more tight, and someone else’s Blink 182 records sound more witty.

Tiger Army – II: Power of Moonlite – Review

February 15, 2002

Glenn Danzig could croon with balls; Tiger Army, well, they can simply croon… Lyrics tend towards the Gothic and pretentious.
