Honey Flavored Bliss (Tori III of III)

Mon, 14 Mar 2005 03:47:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Part of a three-part series entitled "The Perfect Tori Record" Again, I'm playing the mad scientist and mangling Tori's last three original albums, reordering them, leaving out roughly half the tracks that I don't like, and making a double CD...

Faerie Universe: (Tori I of III)

Sat, 5 Mar 2005 02:51:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - The first part of a three part series entitled, "The Perfect Tori Record" What the hell are you doing? I'm playing God. Because let's face it. Tori has some problems with song vomit. (She releases just about every song she writes.)...

All this for some good sausage?

Sat, 30 Aug 2003 06:39:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - What do you mean you're a horror fan and haven't seen this movie? I'm disinclined to believe you, s...

An infuriatingly good album. (With an emphasis on the infuriating).

Sat, 28 Jun 2003 07:38:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Liz Phair has ticked me off. She's looking to sell albums this time... darn her! Liz Phair use...

Sometimes We Do Get Trapped in the Bell Jar

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 06:20:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - If there is one thing that this movie does well, it is capture the spirit of a well-intentioned, slacker generation. One of my favorite rants by Janeane Garafalo's character Vicky, ends: "... you don't go outside, you don't do anything... man you are in...

Tori, All These Years.

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 19:11:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Tori Amos is the missing link between our conscious thoughts, and our deep, underlying feelings. Her piano is an outpouring of the soul, perfected by a lifetime of playing. Her voice ranges from shrill soprano to growling alto, and never fails to lend...

Pour your Sugary Letters on Me

Tue, 11 Mar 2003 03:05:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - If you know who Letters to Cleo are, you very likely are my friend. I have coaxed many a person that I know to go check out "Letters." Luckily we have online stores that will carry their albums, because if your town is like mine, you don't have a...

Through His Nightmares, We See Our Fears

Fri, 7 Mar 2003 09:26:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Now, I'm not sure whether or not it is the huge meal I ate for dinner working it's magic, but I have awoken every hour on the hour (literally) from nightmares since seeing this movie. Eraserhead, the first feature-length film from David Lynch,...

Pain, Spiked with Pleasure

Thu, 6 Mar 2003 08:04:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - The debut from Counting Crows is painful. Singer/songwriter Adam Duritz struck a chord with rock fans everywhere with his amazingly pure songwriting. I say pure, because it is completely void of sarcasm, bravado, and whatever else it is that makes.....

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Poor Man's Clerks!

Tue, 4 Mar 2003 20:31:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Ah, the lost View Askew flick, or the "red-headed stepchild of the View Askew family," as Kevin Smith likes to say. For those of you who do not know, View Askew Productions is responsible for the indie classics Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy,...

Alternative's forgotten little band.

Fri, 28 Feb 2003 03:23:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - I have to admit that I'm a sucker for alternative music. Belly released Star at the height of the alternative craze, in 1993. Grunge had already hit, and yet it still didn't appeal to everyone. Throwing Muses, The Breeders and this band, Belly...

Ex-Sugarcube from Iceland is really an alien!

Thu, 27 Feb 2003 06:59:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - Bjork's music sounds like it comes from out of this world, literally. I do not believe Bjork is really from Iceland. I think she is from Venus. One listen to Debut proves my point. The notes that Bjork emits could not come from a normal human...

Jewel, when she was original.

Wed, 26 Feb 2003 03:18:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - What ever happened to Jewel? Remember when she was on the radio every other song? Remember when "You Were Meant For Me" was played to death, and we all wanted it to just go away? Remember when she was original? Before "Spirit,"

(her preachy,...

A Movie For Anyone Who's Ever Had a Relationship

Sat, 20 Jul 2002 02:58:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author musicmitigator - I love this movie... and I've thought long and hard about what it is trying to say. Hopefully you can take the time to decide for yourself what you think about it.

Chasing Amy is the story of everyday guy Holden McNeil, who is...
