Porno Sonic: Unreleased 70’s Porno Music Featuring Ron Jeremy Label: J Bird Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2000 The concept of Porno Sonic seems like a hilariously good idea. However, Porno Sonic is a mediocre collection of fake porno music that is utterly boring and forgettable. I couldn’t recognize any of the movie titles and […]

Rolling Stone passed judgement on “Whatcha Gonna Do Honky?” in a recent issue, but seeing as how Britney Spears was on the freaking cover for christ’s sake, this is the re-trial. Speaking of kangaroo courts, when’s the last time Rolling Stone had it’s finger on the pulse of anything that wasn’t already dead on arrival? […]

Bruce Haack: Hush Little Robot Label: Normal Release Date: 1998 Recording Date: 1968-1974 Review Date: 2000 Update: At the time this review was written, there was literally no information available on the internet about the Bruce Haack. The very sparse liner notes didn’t provide much help either. The review was written under the assumption that […]

Subsonics: Follow Me Down Label: Get Hip Release Date: 1997 Review Date: 2000 First off, Subsonics are not to be confused with the lameness that currently calls itself “the Supersonics.” I took a chance on Subsonics and went to see them live based solely on a photograph in the paper. The combination of the shot […]

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros: Rock Art and X-Ray Style Label: Hellcat Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2000 Hats off to Hellcat for releasing a new Strummer record, but what else would you expect from them? Considering rightfully maligned relseases (Cut the Crap and Earthquake Weather) anyone would hesitate a little when considering a new […]

Deadbolt: Voodoo Trucker Label: Cargo Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2000 The latest release from the self proclaimed “Scariest band in the world.” Like some of their previous albums, Voodoo Trucker has a theme. The unsavory band of cuthroats have stowed away on a tramp steamer leaving the tiki-zulu death masks on the dark continent […]

UK Subs: Endangered Species Label: New Red Archives Release Date: 1997 Recording Date: 1982 Review Date: 2000 If you were fortunate to come across this album on vinyl, you are already aware that this is by far the most ambitious and best produced album that the UK Subs ever delivered. The closest a punk band […]

Long before Marilyn Manson there was Specimen. Ok, well that’s a bit of over simplification. A long time ago there was a weird goth scene in England centered around a joint called the Bat Cave. Well that’s about as much info that filtered throught the midwest to me in the mid 80’s. I’m not sure […]

Buzzcocks: Modern Buzzcocks: Modern – A Different Kind of Product. Label: EMI Europe, Go-Kart North America Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2000 Ok, let’s put aside the fact that I have to stiffle a scream every time that damned Toyota commercial comes on. I mean for christ sakes, they could have at least used an […]
