Siren Festival 2007 feat. the Twilight Sad, Black Lips, We Are Scientists, M.I.A., New York Dolls

[8.Aug.07] :. Yes, there’s the commute from the city, the oppressive heat, and the feeling of being squashed amongst all the tattoos, (over)exposed flesh, and beer bottles. But it's worth it, right?

The Subways: Young For Eternity

[2.Dec.05] :. The Subways carry lots of attitude, big dreams, and a cheeky, clumsy style of personal interaction that makes you want to take them out after work to booze it up.

Garbage: Bleed Like Me

[11.Apr.05] :. Bleed Like Me is an album of contrived power-pop songs that chart the lows and lows of yet another failing relationship. Personally, the album uses too many catches, deliberate hooks and gimmicks to make this anything that will be played in my house too often.
