Moodring - scared of ferret
11 tracks, 38 minutes
Moodring is centered around Rollerball's Monte Allen & Mae Starr. While it's
easy to hear that Moodring is awesome, other words to describe them are a bit
harder to come by. The presence of piano & clarinet give a free post-jazz
flavor. Mae Starr's ghostly vocals sound like the lounge music on a sinking
ship. The deep groove jams sink in to form some kind of modern American gamelan
sound. The music is so raw & infectious & immediate that it feels more
proto-everything than post-anything. So just soak it in & sink into the doom.

Remora - derivative
8 tracks, 42 minutes
Remora does derivative works on some personal favorites including hits by
Hefner, Warrior Soul, Journey, Pere Ubu, Bob Dylan, Joe Jackson, & Joy Division.
Doomy drone with pop hooks.

Lost Kisses DVD - My Life is Sad & Funny

"This is true & funny material in a day & age when the two worst adjectives your

~ Dave Sim, Cerebus/Glamourpuss

issues of Lost Kisses. It even includes a special making of thing & cartoons of
