Jaheim – Interview
What’s up, dog? How are you? Busy! I know, you’ve been nothing but busy. Busy day, busy week, busy year. (laughs) But How do you react to people saying that for your age you are singing pretty mature songs? There is no such thing as being young and not learning from your experiences. I see…

The Incredible Moses Leroy – Electric Pocket Radio
Artist: The Incredible Moses Leroy Title: Electric Pocket Radio Label: Ultimatum Rating: 8.5/10 Moses Leroy really thinks a lot about himself considering he’s willing to name himself The Incredible Moses Leroy. I just hope he can back it up. “Beep Beep Love” is really quite absurd. The verses rock, but the chorus is like putting…

Blessid Union of Souls – The Singles
Artist: Blessid Union of Souls Title: The Singles Label: V2 Rating: 6.5/10 Blessid Union Of Souls have a cult following and what I thought were two real singles with “I Believe” and “Let Me Be the One”. Yet somehow they’ve got what amounts to a greatest hits album after only three records. What’s up with…

Ali – Interview
Still a lunatic. Get inside this St. Louis hip-hopper Ali! Heard you’re out on the road? Yeah I’m out with Nas. How’s that going? It’s all good. It’s going real good. He’s showing me much love and allows me to tap into an audience I might not be able to. Are you alone while everyone…

Crocodile Dundee in L.A.
Cast: Paul Hogan Studio: Paramount Rating: 3/10 I’ve got to open by saying my father would love this movie. And I’m sorry to say that isn’t a glowing endorsement. Even less glowing is the fact that the old Croc should have kept his ass and knife on the isle of Australia. Los Angeles would eat…

Freddy Got Fingered
Cast: Tom Green Studio: Fox Rating: 1/10 Tom Green sucks. I mean, yeah, he sucks on a cow utter and some other really stupid things. But I really mean that Tom Green sucks, as in he couldn’t make me laugh if the only thing keeping him alive was making me laugh. Tom Green makes Adam…

Stereophonics – Just Enough Education To Perform
Artist: Stereophonics Title: Just Enough Education To Perform Label: V2 Rating: 8/10 “Vegas Two Times” sounds heavier than ever but not without the resounding hook. Kelly Jones still stresses and strains his voice until it is worn and torn. “Mr. Writer” is a bit more restrained. It lays heavy in the chorus while reliving the…

Nick Cave – No More Shall We Part
Artist: Nick Cave Title: No More Shall We Part Label: Reprise Rating: 7.5/10 Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds have a lot to live up to after their amazing 1997 release, The Boatman’s Call. No More Shall We Part bleeds passion from track one until the last track calls it a night. If Nick Cave’s…

Sinomatic – Sinomatic
Artist: Sinomatic Title: Sinomatic Label: Atlantic Rating: 6.5/10 Out of Youngstown, Ohio, come a bunch of guys with stars in their eyes. Sinomatic opens blistering about what sounds like love in “Bloom”, but singer Cooper says “in reality it’s a song about drugs, about cocaine.” “You’re Mine” is seductive in its hook while not selling…

Creeper Lagoon – Take Back The Universe and Give Me Yesterday
Artist: Creeper Lagoon Title: Take Back The Universe and Give Me Yesterday Label: Dreamworks Rating: 7/10 Creeper Lagoon has been this sort of band that has lived in infamy for years. You heard about them but didn’t really know much about them. Enigmatic is certainly a good way to describe them. I Become Small And…
