Best of the Bad Bunch

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 10:47:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - As a connoisseur of fine beers from all around the world and of every style, the American Macro beers are regarded with ire from me and my kind. Watery, flavorless and lacking personality and alcohol, the beers coming out of Budweiser, Miller, Coors, and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I'm a PA resident that lives in a very hilly area - it's not possible for me to reach my home without climbing several large hills - one of them being my driveway. After getting a set of nice Dunlop performance tires in the summer, I found myself...

Been a solid platform for 2 years

Fri, 16 Jul 2004 12:06:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I bought the T1842 about 2 years ago as a replacement for an aging home computer. When I bought it, it cost about $400 after rebates from Circuit City, including Monitor and a Lexmark Z25 Printer, a real bargain. Because I already owned a fair amount...

Cruzin' with SanDisk and all your files!

Thu, 21 Aug 2003 14:02:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I bought the Cruzer (with 256 MB of memory) because I wanted an easy way to transport my home files to my work computer and back again. Since, at this time it is actually cheaper (with a Buy.com rebate) to buy the Cruzer with 256 MB SD memory card...

Thu, 16 Jan 2003 00:41:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - After having plowed through a few dreadfully dry tech and history books, I picked up this inexpensive used book on a recommendation I saw somewhere. I was soon surprised to find myself reading in the wee hours of the morning, unable to tear myself away...

PERRY BRINGS THE BEATS

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 13:44:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - Buzz around the water cooler is that Perry is up to some real big things with Song Yet To Be Sung. I didn’t believe them for a heartbeat. Sheila, the big one who distributes the taxonomy appropriations, even said that there were dance beats. I...

It ain't pretty, it's my Corsica

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 17:49:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I purchased a 1989 Corsica 4-door about a year and a half ago for a mere $800 from a friend, as I was in real need for a winter beater. I thought it might last me the winter and a few more months, but I was WRONG!

It had 130,000 miles on it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I've had a LOMO for a few months now, run about 20 rolls of film through it, and been an active participant on the http://www.lomo.org/bbs/ bulletin-board. Here's what I think of the camera.

First off, don't get sucked in by the lomo.com...

Not good. Really.

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 12:31:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - Perhaps it was the colorful box emblazoned with three babes, maybe it was the mild "buzz" surrounding this movie, but last night my girlfriend and I found ourselves supine in front of the TV, watching Jawbreaker.

We're both old...

Apollo 440: Gettin' High On Your Own Supply: 3.5/5

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 20:29:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I hear it everywhere. First it was when I was listening for review, then on alt-radio, then on top 40 radio, then on commercials. You must know what I speak of. No, it’s not Jagged Little Pill, it’s Fatboy Slim’s You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby. Wrapping me...

Beggars Can't Be Choosers?

Thu, 10 Feb 2000 15:37:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - I've been using Worldspy for a couple of months now, and have, at times, sung its praises to my friends and family. Other times, I have seethed angrily at the dialup program which can be VERY FRUSTRATING.

At least 70-80% of the time,...

Various: Astralwerks' Unknownwerks Vol. 1

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 14:02:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - O compilation disc, how thy nuances trouble my waking, my dreams. Smiling techno promised mixed-down, flowing DJ comps, and delivered. The flow grooved me deep from my toes to the top of my crazed woolen hair, and I knew the comps were good, most of...

Smoking Popes: Tom Daily: Tragedy Of Fanbelts

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:44:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - Jesus Christ, I'm rusty. It's been months since I've written a review, and I've got to wonder if I still can. It's like the time that I borrowed my buddy's Chopper and rode it for a while, becoming the master of popped-wheelies before returning it to...

Evil Tambourines: Library Nation

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:36:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - Oh the groove gets me down, so low to the ground. I've fed my addiction with Miles, with Herbie, with numerous This Is Acid Jazz comps, PM Dawn and James Taylor Quartet records. I need the groove sometimes, to massage the soft place on my underbelly...

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:31:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - Oh my goodness! There are so many things to talk about! Where to begin? Well, I suspect I ought begin at the beginning, that's the word. Vadim, that crazy Russian DJ that brought us such masterpieces as USSR Repertoire and USSR Reconstruction is bringing...

yes... oh yes.

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:25:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - With as many write-ups, reviews, and bios as I read on a daily basis, I've grown used to hearing nothing but good sh#t about bands and being constantly let down. I understand now that what a record label says is usually 120% bullshit, as is 75% of what...

Good- Not Great

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:21:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - Just when I thought I had sublimated all those rock urges: crotch grabbing, big hair and bongtification, here comes a sharp, mean album that spins my head around, slapping it with a ball peen hammer on every rotation. Gently placing the fragments back...

The Cardigans: Gran Turismo

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:16:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - The Cardigans: Gran Turismo

I'm not ashamed to admit that the Cardigans grabbed my attention not with their spacepop hit "Lovefool," but with their deliciously sexy vocalist Nina Persson, and the way she beckoned me seductively from...

Fri, 19 Nov 1999 13:09:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - AOL IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST ISP ON EARTH.

That said, let's see why:

SPAM: I've been on the Internet since 1992, and have been through at least 6 ISP's in that period, from local to national. I saw a MINIMAL amount of SPAM (unsolicited...

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 11:42:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wisdom - VA/Josh Wink: Profound Sounds Vol.1

Oh, the flashbacks are coming again. The flashing lights, the scent of sweat and marijuana, the pounding, pounding music, the endless dancing and sniffing of Vicks Inhalers. Weekends with my old rave buddy...
