Too simplistic, not enough

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author johnjoh - Wetrix+ is a puzzle game in the fashion of tetrix, but you drop puzzle piece blocks onto a square floating landscape before it starts raining or buckets of water drop onto you lanscape. When the water gets on your lanscape, it'll pour off if you don't...

Emo? or Dynamic and Diverse

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 07:38:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnjoh - Jets to Brazil comes from the roots of emo and post-punk bands (Jawbreaker/Texas is the Reason), but if you listen to their debut album, Orange Rhyming Dictionary (Jade Tree), it'd be hard to clearly classify them as an "emo" band. However, if...

U.S. Bombs: US Bombs - A bit of old school punk

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:29:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnjoh - If you haven't seen the US Bombs at a show, you're missing out. Have you ever wondered how much a singer could drink... and still sing?

I saw the US Bombs at a Swingin' Utters (by the way, a very good band) show at the Great American Music...

A.F.I.: AFI - Good Band, but not quite the same as before

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnjoh - When I first heard of AFI, I was volunteering at UC Berkeley's KALX 90.7 FM. I was training to be a dj on the really late-night shift. AFI was a favorite of the station, them being punks and a local band from the East Bay. I checked out their 7 inches...

ONE SHORTCOMING of the Nokia 6160

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 19:57:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnjoh - This phone is a good choice for anyone looking for a cell phone purchase. It's a good size (good styling, good weight), good information storage capabilities, it has plenty of after-market components (faceplates, antenaes that light up, colored...
