Obituaries: Bill Paxton of Martini Ranch Passes Away
News — February 27, 2017
As a child, I was fortunate enough to grow up with a father who emphasized the importance of 1980's sci-fi/horror. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I possessed the tacit advantage of having no referential perspective. To me Predator 2 and Weird Science were every bit as import as The …
Andrew W.K. – The Wolf
Review — February 29, 2004
I'll keep this short so you kids will understand me. I want the time back I spent listening to this. I feel cheated, robbed, and insulted. This is neither fun nor funny. It's devoid of any worth. It's stupid, it's banal, it's bland. So why does it get a 1.3? …
Andrew Bird – The Mysterious Production of Eggs
Review — September 23, 2005

Currently, there are waves upon waves of like sounding bands making it …
Andrew W.K. – 55 Cadillac
Review — September 18, 2009
If I were to comprise a short list of individuals that I would love to sit down and just have an open-ended conversation with, Andrew W.K. would be at the head of that list. No doubt in my mind. For whatever reason, everything that he does has me on the …
Andrew Hock – Crystalline Privative Opulence
Review — June 1, 2015
Andrew Hock, of Psalm Zero and, until recently, incredible black metal outfit Castevet, has always seemed a very interesting case, as the two before mentioned bands would let on. And the same interest would be transferred over to the debut album that Hock is putting out under his own …
Andrew Paley – Sirens
Review — January 16, 2017
Perhaps best known as the frontman of Vermont post-punk band The Static Age, Andrew Paley has never been shy about his penchant for playing solo acoustic songs. Where The Static Age's sound is sound is distantly confrontational and awash with the vivid colours of late nights, Paley's solo …
