rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - If you've followed along with my previous reviews, you know I'm somewhat of a Skinny Puppy fanatic. Most importantly I've come to respect the man behind all the music I adore: cEvin Key.

Luckily since the fall of Skinny Puppy, cEvin Key...

ohGr - the voice of Skinny Puppy goes pop?

Thu, 4 Oct 2001 06:43:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - ohGr is of course, Ogre, who used to be Skinny Puppy's lead singer. If anyone's remotely familiar with the band, they knew that during their later years, Ogre was sort of in his own world, wanting to do completely different things than the rest of the...

Mon, 1 Oct 2001 04:31:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - I work part time, and usually during the week I'm on call. During my typical late lunch I casually flicked on the TV. I don't even know why. Besides the recent newsworthy events of September 2001, I tend to not watch much television anyways. But whatever...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Why did I buy Team Mint?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - My sister bought my dad one of these Bodum Chambord coffee makers for Christmas last year. Well, at least I think it's a Bodum Chambord coffee maker as there isn't a logo anywhere except for a little oval with "BonJour" written inside on the bottom of...

What happened to the kids swigging beer?

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 05:36:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Odd opinion title, isn't it?

Well, I happened to see if Epinions had a section for Pure's "Generation Six Pack" only to find that the cover of the album on Epinions is completely different than the one I have! Epinions says they're on...

Finger 11? Whatever happened to the Rainbow Butt Monkeys?

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Back in the mid-90's there was a rock band from Ontario called the Rainbow Butt Monkeys. They had a few singles that were popular on Canadian radio stations a few years back. The two I remember the most were "Circles" and "Danananana". Nothing made it...

Vancouver: a local's perspective

Tue, 24 Jul 2001 06:57:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Introduction:

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Ever since I was a little girl, I remember going into the local Body Shop with my mom and smelling all the soap. Let's see. They had their strawberry soap (red). Satsuma soap (orange). They had their Granny Smith apple soap (light green), their pink...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Back in November 1999 I was a full time college student looking for a temporary job for the busy holiday season. While I was already working at a cafe part time on the weekends, I knew that wasn't what I had in mind for the Christmas holidays.

This was the song that got me into U2!

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 15:16:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - ... and I feel so young and silly when I say that! But it really was "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" that acted as my catalyst, that made me discover the world of U2, all at the tender age of 12. Okay, enough sappy stories. Off with the horns, on...

Econoline Crush's best album to date.

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 14:55:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - I've talked to many people online who bought Affliction after a recommendation, but almost no one was familiar with Econoline Crush beforehand. I was familiar with Econoline Crush before I bought Affliction. Reasons for this are:

1. Econoline...

Econoline Crush goes radio friendly!

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 14:43:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Chances are, you've probably never heard of Econoline Crush... unless you're from Canada. If you're Canadian, you're probably familiar with Econoline Crush's "The Devil You Know" (TDYK) because it was constantly being played on TV and on the radio. But...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - I was first introduced to Coldplay by watching their video for "Yellow" on TV a few months ago. A few weeks later Yellow was the only song I'd hear on the radio. I really wasn't all that interested in Coldplay, but my sister bought "Parachutes" and one...

The "comic" for people who generally don't like comics...

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 04:11:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - Generally when one thinks of comics, X-Men or Spawn might spring to mind. Or perhaps one might think of the warped lives of superhuman heros, alien beings, exploration through space or science fiction fantasies. Or maybe one might think like I once did,...

We're one, but we're not the same...

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 04:03:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - For those who may not be as familiar, back in the early 90's, U2 released half a dozen singles off of (what I consider their best album) Achtung Baby. Every single they they released off of Achtung Baby became successful, however, I'd say that One was...

It may be short, but it's an intense 15 minutes!

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 02:15:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief... all kill their inspiration, and sing about the grief..."

A sort of homecoming is what this album sounds like...

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 01:35:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carmanah - I've been a big U2 fan since I was 12 years old. Because of that, when this album came out, most of my friends asked me what I think of All That You Can't Leave Behind (ATYCLB). I remember reading Rolling Stone magazine and how they said it was U2's...

Hmmmm...

Well, for those of you who have no idea who Download is, I'll give you a quick rundown of the history of this band. Believe me, this is kind of important to understand Download's music - they...
