Oh, yeah. No love lost there. Actually, Cardinal had a fairly acrimonious split, too -- just look at the truly awful partisan reviews of Richard Davies's (excellent) albums on Allmusic. I've been thinking about contacting Allmusic to see if they'd let me write a few less obnoxious reviews. There's no need to slag Eric Matthews's albums (which are also brilliant, and to which Allmusic gives excellent reviews in their own section) when the reviewer very clearly has a bone to pick outside of the aesthetic value of the albums. It's just unnecessary.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hot German chick, an anti-war message: what's not to love? (yeah, yeah, I know... it was a joke!)

My band's cd is reviewed in the latest issues of Maximum Rock'n'Roll and the Slug & Lettuce. Both pretty good reviews. The M RnR one is particularly exciting for me cuz that was like our punk rock bible back inna day. Dag, it's been around forever. Also, they can be mean a lot and they really weren't. Except for how they called our music "amateurish" but I think that's a compliment in their lingo. I'll take it as such. They called us "regular looking" -- I'm not sure what I'm to make of that! But it's hilarious to me!

I know!!! Also the review in the Slug & Lettuce said we were like "Blondie without the disco." Funneeee! (we totally have the disco, though, it's just in our hearts not on the disc)

Are you ready to be strong?
Is anyone here a fan of M.I.A.? I am currently obsessed with her.

I've read so much more about her than I've heard. (There were a number of articles about her in the Voice, including a whole Christgau column, mostly dealing with her connections to the guerilla warfare over thataway)
