...slight technical difficulty with his “circa 1982...Depeche Mode” keyboard (it died) during “Last Night’s Dream,” Trapper managed a near-perfect set. The keyboard he found in his attic was not the only surprise instrument that Trapper pulled out during his Passim stint—warning the audience that he was “about to prove how much of a white-trash hick I am,” Trapper risked “be[ing] kicked out of the band” and backed...
...National Anthem” makes up most of what it loses in the disappearance of a horn section. The grinding drums and bass are anchored in what is ultimately recognizable as good old-fashioned rock-sensibility, despite the otherworldly wailings of whatever that new-fangled spooky sounding instrument Jonny Greenwood is playing these days.

Xytex is one of the few that offer so-called identity-release donors, men who agree to allow the child to contact them by obtaining information from the bank after age 18--an increasingly important provision for many...
...time. And while the character is weak (apart from being weakly sketched), there needs to be enough substance to him that two strong women would fall so deeply in love with him. Noonan’s performance is also hampered by the fact that his voice, while a powerful instrument, appears largely untrained. His forced vibrato and difficulty with held notes detract from what should be lovely singing...
