  • Moonpies and buckshot

    Wet Nuns – Wet Nuns The Skinny: “There’s always one bad alcoholic tryin’ to spoil it for everyone” The Review proper: Wet Nuns, hailin’ from Sheffield, Alabama (home of the grits, sausage and pork pudding) are now on one of dem plastic discs that are compact.

  • Dan Williamson and CatsforPeru @ West Street Live

    Lickity Split Presents… Down To The Woods 2! (Featuring Dan Williamson and Cats:for:Peru).

  • Notes from Overground

    Book Review: American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (For those that haven’t seen the film of the book or the book of the book)  “I just hate that whole self-involved thing that modern male American writers do” said my friend, a well-read literature student, as we were discussing Bret Easton Ellis over beer one day.…

    Everyone loves Manu Chao – have a little latin groove on this fine summer Monday mornin’. PM

  • The Sunday Soapbox – TV and Advertisement

    For being such a quiet weekend many noises invade my mind and keep me at unease and alert. It’s so hard to watch TV when it has become so aggressive and companies don’t ask you anymore to please come and buy something, but order! How dare…? As I turn off the TV after 15 minutes…
