Oasis – Morning Glory – A Classic Album Under Review – Review

June 22, 2007

A buncha people (all Brits) familiar with the band talk about why they think Morning Glory is their best. I’m not arguing, it’s the only one I’ve kept.

Hubert Selby Jr. – It/ll Be Better Tomorrow – Review

May 11, 2007

A lot of its 79 minutes discuss Last Exit to Brooklyn. His fourth novel, Requiem for a Dream, is almost as well-known, thanks to Darren Aronofsky’s 2000 film.

Big Audio Dynamite – Live E=MC2 – Review

April 27, 2007

Madchester flourishes and samples, literal and musical quotes. The open-hearted joy and hope override the pensive realism and downcast tone.

Dwarves – FEFU – Review

April 20, 2007

Young girls, little people, blood, sex ‘n’ violence have been explicitly expressed via song and performance as the Dwarves spill seed into their third decade.

Obituary – Frozen Alive – Review

April 20, 2007

Recorded the same night as a Grave DVD, this is just as clear, well-produced, and packed full of crushing death metal. Live Grave, it’s the band’s first DVD.

Wendy O Williams – The Plasmatics – 10 Years of Revolutionary Rock And Roll – Review

April 13, 2007

Groundbreaking. Chainsawing. Car bombing. Culture shocking. The Plasmatics flew in the face of convention. Great information thrown together like a scrapbook.

The Mission of Burma Story – Not a Photograph – Review

April 13, 2007

Professionally filmed, with great direction and better editing, this 70 minute documentary perfectly documents these grown ups getting their rock back on.

Dwarves – FEFU – Interview

April 13, 2007

An interview with vocalist Blag Dahlia

The Pixies – Live At The Paradise In Boston – Review

April 4, 2007

It’s a small club setting, just a couple hundred rabid hometown fans, and Black’s informal manner serves to put both band and audience at ease.

Grave – Enraptured – Review

March 30, 2007

One of Swedish death metal’s founding fathers, but they’ve never had their live show properly documented. Grave sound more menacing and crushing here than ever.
