...ladies, perhaps it isn't that your man is an "asshole" when he refuses to listen to you or to get another bag of potato chips. After all, his "culture" can only listen to or do one thing at a time. So just resign yourself to grabbing another bag yourself, and settle back on the futon while he belches...
...have heard of Moby, but if you listen to his new album, you won't forget about him any time soon. Moby's newest release is a compilation of his contributions to popular movies and shows, including "Twin Peaks," The Saint, Scream and Tomorrow Never Dies (the upcoming James Bond movie). Moby emerged in the early 90s as one of the vanguards of dance and techno music, and I Like to Score gives the listener a good taste of the depth and versatility of this outspoken artist's musical talent...
...quite as well known as some other dance/techno icons, he is undoubtedly one of the best musicians because one can hear traces of his stylistic elements in acts such as Orbital, the Prodigy, Underworld and the Crystal Method. I Like to Score is an album that is easy to listen to and can also serve as a primer for the listener to experience different types of techno music...
Although the album is an unpleasant listen overall, there are a couple bright spots. The Pietasters are not incapable of making good music; gems like "Out All Night" and "Without You" prove Jackson can sing. Why he chooses to fill his throat with phlegm and croak out songs for the rest of the album is beyond understanding...
...Redlight, because it represents everything that is good about ska music. As for the Pietasters' new album, leave it on the shelf. Although they bring with them a much bigger reputation and fan base, the Pietasters should scrap their tunes on Willis and give a listen to the Slackers. They just might learn how to make a great ska album...
