Wed, 2 Oct 2002 02:20:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Officer - On the surface, When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear sounds like a great concept. And, it is actually. An album comprised of odd cover songs with mis-matched artists and genres is a very cool concept. It's the execution of that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Officer - Dashboard Confessional, I hesitate to admit, is my kind of band. Actually, I should say "My kind of ARTIST" as the "band" is really a solo side project of Chris Carraba from Further Seems Forever.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Officer - What follows is my entry to the Lexiphilia write-off, hosted by Annexation. Participants cast all self dignity aside to battle it out Klingon style over a nasty old sock, all while soiling their image and good standing by incorporating a laundry...
