rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Over Christmas break, I went back to my hometown to celebrate the times with my family and friends. One night, after a long evening of bar hopping and intoxication, we returned back to my friend's house for a little down time before going to bed.

Tito, pass me a tissue.

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 06:41:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Judge this one from it's cover. This brilliant collaboration of 4-AD artists will leave you in tears, unless you have never felt love or loss in your entire life. And if you are left without a space of longing in your soul after giving the album a...

A whurlstorm of horror and confusion

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 12:27:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Let us not forget that like painting, film is an art. And as a painter can be straightforward in his or her intention (the name Bob Ross comes to mind), he or she can also venture into the surreal, the abstract and the unchartered realms of imagination...

Lo-fi mastery.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - "Confuse forms, unleashing of passions/confuse forms, by means of inversion/emotions carried to the extremes/orgiastic of chaos of supreme"

Once again, here is an album that demands to get it's respect. I am the first one to write a review on...

Welcome to the single-malt family.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Scotch. The gateway liqour to deep pretension, but ahh, it's so worth it. Sure, there are scotches out there that'll go for $200/bottle and up, but come on, now, if you were reading this review you obviously have no need to go that deep into the world...

The quintessential good weather album

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 03:38:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - I must take this time to applaud myself for being so progressive back in 10th grade (pushing on nine years ago) to get into such an amazing band as XTC.

I admit, although I was young the first album of theirs I picked up was "Nonesuch",...

Clink and drink one down

Newcastle. The king of beers, in my opinion. I can not think of a more delicious, yet readily available beer on the planet.

I first started drinking Newcastles back in 1994 when I went to see two famed British bands (long before...

Honesty is the best policy

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 11:46:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Liz Phair is the sexiest woman in the music business.

Aside from her obvious good looks, she is a genuine person. She isn't afraid to talk about her past and where it's taking her. She learns from her mistakes. She isn't afraid to tell you...

A top pick for all fans of Plastikman

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 11:19:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - This is the only full-length release by F.U.S.E., aka Richie Hawtin of Plus 8 Records fame. It features pieces written in 1991-1993.

If you are a fan of Plastikman, you will without a doubt freak for this album. However, if I am correct, it...

Plastikman?

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 11:02:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - I bought this album the week it was released. Anything Richie had put out previously under the Plastikman moniker has been nothing short of brilliant and I had been eagerly awaiting more.

When I popped it in, I first had to check to make sure...

Worth every penny!

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 10:45:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - I am upset to be the first person reviewing such a brilliant album, especially when the only other epinion on here says that it is a "waist of money" (sic).

This album is a little dated, yes, but the music is nonetheless timeless - provided...

Mood musik for every mood.

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 10:16:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - If you're a new listener to the groop and haven't heard much of the 'lab's work before "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" (or even if you're just curious who did "that Volkswagen song", let me stress that you are now reading about the most interesting album thus...

Oh no, not again.

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 09:22:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Well here it is, masses. Just what the world has been waiting for, another "magnificent, epic opus" from the most over-hyped band in the world, here to invade your senses with a throwback to their 'simpler roots', to coddle you in a blanket of memories...

Arguably her finest work.

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 08:35:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - In the sickening sweet world of today’s pop music, it’s sometimes refreshing to hear someone speak from the other side of the fence, far away from the shiny, happy people and Hootie and those god-forsaken Blowfish. Enter Tori Amos, with her third...

Tangled up in Blue (Velvet)

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 08:26:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Ten years after its original silver-screen release, director David Lynch’s Blue Velvet manages to engross the home viewer with its amazingly quirky blend of the saintly and the macabre. The film explores good’s victory over evil, but not until after a...

Behold my pocketed opus!

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 08:12:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Oh, yes. The Snackster.

Last Christmas, my sister kept on telling me how much I would love her gift, and wouldn't know what I have done without it in the past. She was right.

I love to cook. I am a good cook. I am a creative...

Gotta love my car

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 08:03:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Gotta love this car... because it's MY car!

I picked up a green '96 GSR coupe two years ago, and I must say that I have little to no complaints. It's a sweet ride -- great on the gas mileage, has a nice sporty look to it, and hauls booty on...

Sadly, it was disappointing.

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 07:46:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Well, here it is. The film that the world has been waiting eight long years for, the sequel to one of the best pieces of modern psycho-horror ever written. "Hannibal" hit the screens last Friday, and of course, I was in the ticket line for it's first...

Greg Dulli speaks to the souls of man

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 07:25:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - This is the first (hopefully not last) release by the Twilight Singers - fronted by Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs accompanied by the voice of Happy Chicleister of Howling Maggie.

I can't imagine that anyone purchasing this album hasn't...

Mesmerizing

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 07:15:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - The first few listens of "Lollo Rosso" impressed me, however it wasn't until I sat down and submersed myself in it (as opposed to having it playing in the background whilst mashing buttons on the Playstation) that I truly appreciated it fully.

Instant Classic

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 00:32:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - What can I say? Outkast is one of the few widely-known hip hop acts out there today that continues to push the envelope with another slammin' release.

As an implant to Georgia from the North, I grew up on the standards of East Coast fare,...

Wankers...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - ...drive these cars.

I don't care how many damn children you have, or how many boats you tow daily, this not a "necessary" car for ANYONE.

these trucks are eyesores and harmful to the environment. i'm so far from an being...

No.

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 14:36:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - When I was a kid, I was both fascinated and frustrated when I tried to push two magnets (opposing poles) together.

Such is this on-the-fly collaboration between deliberate and calculated Tortoise and a (punk?)band, The Ex. Listening to this I...

This place should have been named "The Mean Bean"...

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 13:29:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Where is it written that Mexican restaurants should be run like haute French bistros?

I was first attracted to Gringos because I heard of their porch and magnificent margaritas (real margaritas, mind you, not pints of frozen schlock). On top...

Always a favorite.

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 13:10:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author colby_atl - Ahh, the Brewhouse. Large, unpretentious, and with a wonderful view of L5P traffic and freaks, this "British" "pub" does not disappoint.

Whether you go there for a drink (or two or three), food, or a combination of the two, you can rarely go...
