That disco concept album (from 1977), track by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432617459332 Wed, 4 Jun 2008 16:43:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432617459332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432607104644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Lindsey Buckingham must be one of the weirdest multi-millionaire musical geniuses ever. Only in California, folks. Unlike erstwhile partner Stevie Nicks, he doesn't need to drape himself in scarves and mysticism to come off as a quirky oddity. His... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432607104644 Wed, 4 Jun 2008 15:01:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432607104644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432035368580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - So they waited 16 years while we partied to their older songs. Maybe they were really just waiting for Cindy to return to the fold. "Good Stuff" wasn't really all that great, besides the lovely clarity of Kate's always crystal clear vocals. Funplex... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432035368580 Fri, 30 May 2008 18:28:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432035368580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_413137473156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - I used the Microsoft Natural keyboard at home for a very long time, but I worried that it wouldn't last forever and I didn't like the upgrades made to the model I had. The device just seemed to get bigger and bulkier without noticeable functional... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413137473156 Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:38:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_413137473156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403999985284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Long thought of as Bowie's answer to the burgeoning New Wave movement, Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) is one of those rare albums that stands the test of time, that is as interesting to listen to now as it was when it came out. Bowie had just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403999985284 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:18:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403999985284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_378969427588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - A problem some viewers are having with this film is how disordered it seems. It's not a straightforward chronological biopic, where causality is preserved from points A to B to C. Instead, it's a disjointed cyclical tapestry, with Piaf seen at various... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~378969427588 Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:36:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_378969427588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_376902487684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - First I saw the pictures of Björk on fire. Then I put the album cover on my computer desktop at work. But no one seemed excited. Then I saw her on Saturday Night Live, singing EARTH INTRUDERS with a backup chorus of women in garbage bags. And I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~376902487684 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 02:51:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_376902487684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_376864542340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - I wonder if you need Sonic Youth if you live in New York? I need them because I don't. Many years ago they came to play at my college near Poughkeepsie. We were all too cool for them (as we were for everything else), already sure that they'd peaked... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~376864542340 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 00:21:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_376864542340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_294173773444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - I think the time has come to rediscover Grace Jones. Her music sounds not only prescient to me now, it sounds as new and fresh as it did in the 80s. Grace was a symbol then, and though the stress of churning out new pop hits eventually sapped her... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~294173773444 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:40:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_294173773444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_271866433156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Okay, so the Strokes have run out of steam. Who knows what Interpol is up to these days? Ladytron is getting weird and spacey. The Killers had it right for one album, but they've choked on the new one because they're American after all. But Sophia... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~271866433156 Sat, 28 Oct 2006 22:43:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_271866433156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_270643334788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - There's something to be said for blue-eyed soul. Despite the cliche, some white men can jump, and dance, and boogie, and groove. British ones seem to have fewer inhibitions regarding getting on the dance floor than the American versions. Even Rod Stewart... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~270643334788 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 20:15:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_270643334788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_247706848900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - I think there's one reason for the mixed reviews of this effort. And that reason is the hit song "Maps." If you loved "Maps," the best rock ballad of 2004, and discovered Karen O and her band by way of the way cool video, you're going to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~247706848900 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 18:45:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_247706848900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_226571226756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Or is that Italianerrific? As can and should only happen in NYC, Japanese and Italian art students meet and crazed, fractured, off-kilter and beautiful music is made. There's a whole sub-genre of bands with delicate female Asian vocals backed up by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~226571226756 Fri, 14 Apr 2006 14:34:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_226571226756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_217163075204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - I've had this for a few months now. It provides a lot of features I need to enjoy my music collection. At this point I have retained my CDs (and still buy them), and have a computer that can burn homemade ones from mp3's quickly. I use iTunes solely for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~217163075204 Mon, 9 Jan 2006 16:32:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_217163075204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214868921988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - At first I wasn't wowed by the idea of this album; Stereolab has been so thorough about releasing loaded singles and other collections of their prolific material that a live-in-studio album seemed sort of redundant. But, in fact, for those of us... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214868921988 Wed, 21 Dec 2005 19:22:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214868921988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214609530500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Scott Poulson-Bryant is the founding editor of Vibe magazine and an established celebrity interviewer. And though he resists labels and categorizations, he's also pretty clearly bisexual. This is a book written about black and white culture by a man who... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214609530500 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 17:45:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214609530500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197683351172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Keep in mind what I started with: a 1999 HP Deskjet 610 that was, while still functional, way past its prime. I had also worsened it's performance using cheap no-brand inks, because I was so tired of paying the exorbitant HP ink prices.

Nor was it meant to be. The Kronos Quartet are among the foremost supporters of a contemporary repertoire. They have offered well-marketed and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191989649028 Wed, 3 Aug 2005 17:13:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191989649028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182534180484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Just look at the handle on this baby in the picture. This is one comfortable knife to wield. The handle is not wood or plastic, but something called Suregrip Santoprene, which is soft but dimpled in order to anchor the hand as one grips and slices.

These knives are of above average quality, but are designed for the budget conscious. Unlike the top of the line J.A. Henckels, this series is not made in the German homeland, but instead in Spain. Hey, it's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173897125508 Fri, 18 Feb 2005 18:15:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173897125508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_172849794692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - It's interesting how, with all her worries about demons, curses, witches and vampires, religion doesn't come up much in Anita Blake's life. Her necromancy (raising of the dead) is like a flow of energy she accesses, and can't turn off. But she's not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~172849794692 Wed, 9 Feb 2005 18:29:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_172849794692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_172297719428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - This collection of 70s comic books reads like a crazed mix of James Bond, Blaxploitation movies and Bruce Lee epics. At the heart of all the stories is Danny Rand, the Iron Fist. He’s a poor little rich boy whose parents died while searching for the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~172297719428 Fri, 4 Feb 2005 19:27:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_172297719428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163959508612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - People have different advice on buying knives. Greater bargains are possible in sets, rather than buying "open stock" or individual knives. But sets limit you to certain items, and may not contain your preference. "Open Stock" items also go on sale,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163959508612 Fri, 3 Dec 2004 16:15:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163959508612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163539553924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seric26 - Let's go through the count of players in this complex and compelling story, supernatural ones first: Anita Blake, animator of the dead (and, by her 9th tale, possessor of various other hard-earned abilities that surprise even herself), no longer quite... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163539553924 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 17:10:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163539553924?linkin_id=8003929
