  • Richard Lugo – Interview

    In Myrtle Beach with Richard Lugo! I know you just started touring with O-Town. How many shows have you done with them? About four shows. Have you been doing shows before that? Before that I was on tour with BBMAK. I didn’t know that. How was that? It was a lot of fun. Those guys…

  • Placebo – Black Market Music

    Artist: Placebo Title: Black Market Music Label: Virgin Rating: 8.5/10 Placebo have truly outdone themselves. I’ll never look at them the same again. They’ve gone from a novelty act to one of the most precise groups in music today. After the gender bender Brian Molko busted out with a goatee, you had a feeling this…

  • A Knight’s Tale

    Cast: Heath Ledger Studio: Columbia Rating: 6/10 A Knight’s Tale in all its glory sounds like a medieval tale of intrigue complete with swords and armor, gallant heroes and dubious villains. Now what A Knight’s Tale is in reality is actually quite different, to say the least. Though it contains the swords, armor, hero, and…

  • Blues Traveler – Bridge

    Artist: Blues Traveler Title: Bridge Label: Interscope Rating: 7/10 Blues Traveler have sadly lost one member, founding member and bassist Bobby Sheehan, and half of another as frontman John Popper, who underwent surgery and is a sliver of his former self, but whose voice is as dynamic as ever. Popper gets off some squeaky-clean harmonica…

  • Crossbreed – Synthetic Division

    Artist: Crossbreed Title: Synthetic Division Label: Artemis Rating: 4/10 Crossbreed would love to make you think they are bringing something unique with a large mix of techno, metal, and funky hooks. Are they posers or the real deal? “Severed” and “Lost Soul” – poser – Extremely Limp Bizkit influenced. “Seasons” – poser – Korn tastes…

  • Our Lady Peace – Interview[2001]

    Our Lady Peace: Operation Raine! Spiritual Machines may explore human spirituality and tinker with the ideologies of man against machine from Ray Kurzweil’s book The Age of Spiritual Machines – When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence, but after talking to lead singer Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace, I discovered something deeper about the new record.…

  • The Mummy Returns

    Cast: Brendan Fraser Studio: Universal Rating: 6/10 In real life it’s only been about three years since the original The Mummy was released on the world. We spent our hard-earned money to see special effects thrown all over the place and a script so weak you never wanted to go back. Well, now The Mummy…

  • Ani DiFranco – Revelling/Reckoning

    Artist: Ani DiFranco Title: Revelling/Reckoning Label: Righteous Babe Rating: 7/10 For a girl who has done just about everything she can musically, I give credit to Ani for experimenting and taking her sound to another dimension on Revelling/Reckoning. The packaging, clever and creative, contains some of the most beautiful pictures. However, I found that this…

  • Stevie Nicks – Trouble In Shangri-La

    Artist: Stevie Nicks Title: Trouble In Shangri-La Label: Reprise Rating: 9/10 Stevie Nicks isn’t back from the dead. Well, perhaps she is, as I’m sure many have forgotten her since the last round of Fleetwood Mac’s comeback died out of the world’s eye and ear. The iconic Stevie Nicks is back, and boy, is she…

  • Eden’s Crush – Popstars

    Artist: Eden’s Crush Title: Popstars Label: Sire Rating: 6.5/10 By now you’ve certainly heard of Eden’s Crush, otherwise known as Popstars. The album has a host of well-known producers brought together to make sure this million-dollar investment was more than just the Monkees. One thing the Monkees had, that Eden’s Crush seemingly lack, were huge…
