CSS - Donkey — music review

by Kris   ⋅   August 22, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

Don’t you hate it when bands you like — and you like them partially because no one’s ever heard of them — are featured on TV commercials? CSS’ ‘Music is my Hot Hot Sex’ serenaded some spinning iPod Touch, making me quite sad for a quite long twenty seconds, but then, who can stay [...]

Angels and Airwaves - I-Empire — music review

by Chris   ⋅   November 20, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

To give you an idea of how out of the popular music scene I am, when I initially received a notice about Angels and Airwaves’ I-Empire, I turned it down. I thought to myself, “Who are these guys? That dude with the glasses looks like he’s from Devo. And this 70’s throwback cover? I don’t [...]

Garbage - Absolute Garbage — he said, she said — cd/music video dvd review — early!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   July 23, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

The DVD (SHE SAID)
Oh, you know those little mistakes in life you regret? I regret agreeing to do this review. First off, I remember thinking “damn, they ripped off Curve” when Garbage first hit the scene, then I remember being puzzled when my otherwise gentleman-y and sickly sweet friend said “Shirley Manson is [...]

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black — music review

by Kris   ⋅   April 11, 2007   ⋅   Comments [5]

In Britain, there’s no escaping Amy Winehouse, the saucy crooner with the nouveau-retro backdrop. She’s finally being welcomed to the States with open arms with her album Back to Black debuting at #7.
Raised by jazz musicians and inspired by Salt -n- Pepa, Winehouse is sultry oldschool kitch with a hardened criminal-esque edge. To [...]

Lindsay Lohan - A Little More Personal (RAW) — music review

by Chris   ⋅   July 31, 2006   ⋅   Comments [4]

Lindsay Lohan is a hot property these days. Bounding from controversy to controversy, film to film, and to feud to feud (Paris and Hillary), she can’t seem to stay out of the limelight. In fact, Kris has accurately stated Lohan is the millenial answer Tiffany, the white trash singer who took on Debbie Gibson [...]

Supreme Beings of Leisure - Divine Operating System — music review

by Kris   ⋅   November 15, 2005   ⋅   Comment [1]

Erotic electronica. Voluptuous vocals. Simple-set rhymes with often Yoda-esque messages of empowerment and rich avid description. Brave beats and originality. Oh, Supreme Beings of Leisure, you had it once but came up short this round.
Obviously honoring the classic greats of jazz and soul with an added twist of crisp post-modernistic precision, [...]

Eisley - Room Noises — music review

by Kris   ⋅   October 28, 2005   ⋅   Comment now

The Corrs, BeeGees, now the DuPrees, better known as Eisley. What do these groups have in common? Sibling power! Imagine sharing your most intimate aspirations and errs with your kin and with your ever-supportive ever-videotaping father chronicling the entire process. Well, it doesn’t seem to bother the DuPree kids, who have [...]

The Wolfgang Press - Everything is Beautiful — music review

by Kris   ⋅   October 18, 2005   ⋅   Comments [2]

“Right place right time, from Soul Boy to Punk in one seamless movement… The arrogance of youth is a wonderful thing and belief is everything. To say the answer to all of my inner turmoil and sense of isolation was found down a dingy cellar on Oxford Street in the form of one group who [...]

Frou Frou - Details — music review

by Kris   ⋅   October 7, 2005   ⋅   Comment now

Okay, I’m a little behind on this boat, but now I’m addicted. A bunch of years back (2002? 2003?) a friend (in the way friends want to force– I mean share– music) said “hey, you’d really like Frou Frou“. I immediately quipped about ‘Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires’ by the second love of [...]
