Pretty Girls Make Graves: EP Label: Release Date: 2001 Review Date: 2002 This is a four song ep by a Seattle area band that seems to be getting a lot of good press these days. I caught the last couple of songs at an all ages show and was impressed enough to take a chance […]

Stero Total: Musique Automatique Label: Bobsled Release Date: 2001 Review Date: 2002 Stereo Total is low-tech garage-sale electronic pop music along the vein of a more girly Trio, if you can imagine that. It’s a guy and a girl who live in Berlin. I believe the Girl is French and the Guy is German. They […]

Radiohead: Kid A / Amnesiac Label: Capitol Release Date: 2000, 2001 Review Date: 2002 If you’re not already overwhelmed by the Radiohead juggernaut of of positive press, just listen to Amnesiac.

Label: HellCat Release Date: 2001 Review Date: 2001 He disappears for a decade or two and then suddenly he’s back. Can he still cut it after all these years or will it be weak like so many so-called comebacks? It comes as a relief that Rock Art and the X-Ray Style is quite enjoyable, if […]

The Beastie Boys: Anthology Sounds of Science Label: Grand Royal Release Date: 1999 Recording Date: 1982+ Review Date: 2001 “Best of” releases generally annoy the crap out of me. Especially when a group hasn’t even re-released it’s vinyl offerings on cd. I know it’s economics, but it sucks. Another thing that bugs me is when […]
