J. Mascis – Martin and Me – Review

June 1, 1996

Call it Dinosaur Defuzzed. I feel kinda bad for ol’ J, having to watch former band mates rake in the kudos while Proto-slacker Number One is left in the lurch.

The Goops – Lucky – Review

May 1, 1996

This disc is simply loaded with attitude, both lyrically and in terms of its delivery, due in no small part to the raspy, smart-ass vocals of Eleanor Whitledge.

Holy Barbarians – Cream – Review

May 1, 1996

Ian, Ian, Ian, where did our Love go? Retitle this Talent Removal Machine. Ciao, baby.

Love In Reverse – I Was Dog – Review

May 1, 1996

This band harkens back to the days of art rock with big, sweeping sonic landscapes a trademark

Nick Cave – Murder Ballads – Review

April 1, 1996

This album is crude, raw, imperfect and politically incorrect. It’s also beautiful, but only on its terms, and only on its terms.

Angus Soundtrack – Review

November 1, 1995

It’s as if someone asked me what my favorite punk/pop/dumb rock bands were, chose a song apiece, and slapped ’em on a compilation.

Ash – Trailer – Review

November 1, 1995

Filter – Short Bus – Review

May 1, 1995

“Hey man, Nice shot” was on the Demon Knight soundtrack and got so much radioplay, the release date was pushed up to now.

Dio – Strange Highways – Review

April 1, 1994

Don’t expect any extreme diversity, this is a straight forward power extravaganza of the true metallic sort. This may well be Dio’s heaviest to date.

Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix – Review

April 1, 1994

Such watered-down versions of Hendrix’s classics can only remind one of sipping G & T’s on the deck, while listening to it in surround sound. GAG!
