rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - I think one of the most important things about reading tarot is finding a deck that is just right for you. For me, that's the Gill Tarot. I knew it from the first time I saw it over at Aecletic Tarot.

No one else seems to see it's appeal...

The good thing about being used.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Sirens of Titan, like many of Vonnegut's other novels, is a fine example of his masterful writing, satyric sense of humor, and brilliant ability to connect the most seemingly insignificant details flawlessly to create metaphor. His writing is blunt and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - I can't believe that Garrison Starr didn't make it bigger out there in the rock/alternative world. She's a good musician and a great lyricist. She's got a sound that would work on most the alternative stations out here. And for a while, they were...

an eclectic retelling

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 13:36:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - After hearing Jill Sobule's version of Sunrise, Sunset on XPN, I knew I had to have this CD. It's a collection of Knitting Factory Records regulars covering songs from Fiddler on the Roof. I'm not terribly familiar with any of the artists on this CD,...

wonderful summer listening

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:58:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - This CD's been sitting in my collection getting dusty for a while. When I first bought it, I was hoping for something a little more like their album Home Is In Your Head, which was my first exposure to their music. I listened to it a couple times, then...

Johnette & Holly

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:17:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Vowel Movement is the pairing of two strong women, Johnette Napolitano and Holly Vincent. All the songs on the album were written on the spot. And maybe that's both its weakness and its strength. It weakens because many of the songs sound too alike,...

Some luscious social commentary

Fri, 5 May 2000 20:41:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - I'm not a fruhead. In fact, I hadn't even heard of Moxy Fruvous until WXPN repeatedly played Splatter Splatter. I was sold. Knowing only one song from the band, I went out and bought Thornhill. I wasn't disappointed.

However, I wasn't...

A different side of Sinead

Fri, 5 May 2000 20:13:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Can you believe I first heard this album because I was listening to Dead Can Dance at work one day? I was listening to one of their albums that has I Am Stretched On Your Grave on it. A co-worked recognized it, told me it was really a Sinead O'Connor...

Witty and soulful.

Fri, 5 May 2000 19:29:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - When I first heard this album back in 1996, a full eight years after its release, I was completely taken aback. It's nothing like the music I was listening to then (Controlled Bleeding, Laeather Strip, Skinny Puppy). And it was nothing like all the...

unique and lovely.

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 13:57:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - What a find! I knew I needed to buy this one after hearing "Goodnight Moon" on XPN. Beginning with a smooth, funky bassline and growing into a nice echoing melody, this song just makes me feel sexy. How else could I possibly explain that...

Magnolia - Music from the Motion Picture: could she get more darkly sexy?

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 13:00:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - I just fell in love with this album after hearing only one song from it. XPN played Aimee Mann's remake of One that appears on Magnolia. It is so sexy. She yanks you right into the song.

The second song on the album, Momentum, has to be my...

Sixteen reasons to love Concrete Blonde.

Mon, 29 Nov 1999 16:22:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Still In Hollywood is a compilation of B-sides, extended mixes and live versions of favorites, covers, and other non-album tracks. With sounds ranging from loud and live rock to unplugged mellow acoustics to dreamy remakes, this album is an excellent...

a gothic christmas.

Thu, 25 Nov 1999 00:00:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Being a Projekt release, this is obviously an album for the pale people in black. I really like the idea of nontraditional Christmas music, especially something dark and maybe a little creepy. Unfortunately, this album just isn't that good. While I do...

i'm an adult furby owner.

Wed, 24 Nov 1999 16:06:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - For my brother's 18th birthday this year, my mom bought him a Furby. And so did his friends. We were celebrating at a piano bar/restaurant. It's a relatively loud atmosphere. When we first turned the Furbies on, they were so amazing. They got all...

the end of the world... or is it?

Tue, 23 Nov 1999 12:23:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - So, I was in the book store a couple months ago trying to spend some of my birthday money. After grabbing arms full of poetry books and the novel I initially went in for, I asked the clerk if he had any Gaiman on hand. I love Gaiman (you might have...

among the best $8 i've ever spent.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 22:57:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - While this book may not give a lot of explanation on how to read the symbolism or meaning of each individual card, it is definitely a great tool for those of us looking for new ways to express the cards. After reading tarot for a couple of years, I was...

Not your ordinary tarot deck.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 21:50:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - The Osho Zen Tarot was recommended to me by a friend who I didn't even know read tarot. I went out and picked it up that very day and glady was not disappointed.

Unlike my first deck, the Mythic Tarot, the Osho Zen deck tends to stray from...

fantastic art rock.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 18:43:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - All About Eve is a remarkable art rock (the only way I can think to classify them) band from the late 80s. Scarlet and Other Stories weaves several different narratives. Julianne Regan's powerful voice is only one third of what makes this band...

i never thought i'd like folk, but...

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 17:20:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Dar Williams' The Honesty Room is just splendid. It is at once witty and playful, and still deeply touching. The songs range in sound from simple voice and guitar to more complex piano pieces, and range in subject from a childhood babysitter to aging...

a good debut album from my favorite late 80s band.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 16:27:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Their self titled debut is probably one of Concrete Blonde's lesser known albums. Though it lacks a little of the maturity and completeness of some of their later albums (such as Free and Bloodletting), this album is still one worth a listen, featuring...

my favorite Concrete Blonde album.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 15:59:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Though Bloodletting may be a little more well-known and a little tighter as a complete package, I find Free to be a little more relaxed, and therefore, a bit more enjoyable.

The first song is the most intense one on the album, being a call...

a must have.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 15:14:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - This is undoubtedly Concrete Blonde's most well-known album, and for good reasons. Bloodletting is a complete package. As a whole it is a work of art, while each song is still distinct.

Most of you probably know Joey. In the Philadelphia...

Joy Askew is soft and sensual.

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 14:26:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Joy Askew, a former member of Peter Gabriel's band, shares her own distinct voice and vision with her solo album, Tender City. This album ranges from soft and sweet to inventive and sensual, but is always a pleasure.

This was another of my...

sad, sweet & sexy!

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 13:44:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author supralurid - Beth Orton's debut album, Trailer Park, is a must-own. This is one of the most well put together albums I have ever heard. Each song is good by itself, but when perfectly arranged, as this album is, they make about an hour of sheer pleasure.
