[10 December 2001] 25 Up: Punk’s Silver Jubilee: “Good Clean Fun”: Mike Thorne Looks Back on Punk'I find it very disappointing that punk in the 21st century has turned into a style and something to be worn like a jacket, rather than something which has a specific attitude to it.' [22 November 2001] Michael J. Sheehy'I think I'd have to be a pretty fucked-up guy if my lyrics were completely autobiographical'. [1 January 1995] Githead: Not Your Father’s SupergroupGithead is preened and primped at the finest hairdressers and stylists. (Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner). Reviews
Lupine Howl: The Carnivorous Lunar Activities of Lupine HowlIn a sense, Lupine Howl are in something of a no-win situation since they have the albatross of Spiritualized around their necks. [20 August 2001] The Bevis Frond24 May 2001: The Mercury Lounge - New York. [23 May 2001]

[15 February 2001] 
Calla: ScavengersThere’s something wonderfully cinematic about Scavengers. It conjures up images of a heavily smoky, barely lit bar in the lost reaches of some Southwestern desert. [22 January 2001]
Neil Young, Friends & Relatives: Road Rock Volume 1You have to ask yourself if the world really needs another live Neil Young release at this point. It might be redundant, and it might smack somewhat of contractual obligations, but Road Rock Vol. 1 will of course please completists. [21 November 2000]FreeheatSince the inglorious public demise of the Jesus and Mary Chain in 1998, when William Reid quit the band onstage in Los Angeles, the brothers Reid have gone their separate musical ways. [24 July 2000] Ian Brownalthough John Squire might disagree - that there is life after the Stone Roses. [24 June 2000] Primal Screamare back. [27 May 2000]
