TITANIUM EXPOSÉ ARTICLES
2004 REVIEWS
... let's go to squid meat to find deals and then we ring the taco bell buddy and risten to DNA, ERASE ERRATA, DMONSTRATIONS and THE CHINESE STARS.
LAIBACH, Anthems(Mute)
...sometimes dance-y, sometimes cheese-y, sometimes industrial-y sounds with a weird Slovenian guy yelling at you. TAKE HEED: LAIBACH ARE ON TOUR! TOUR-RELATED SOUNDBITE: When asked why Laibach are touring now, Ivan Novack (singer) responded, "Laibach have decided to tour straight after the election to comfort the defeated part of the American nation and to unite the divided sides into an expression of a static totalitarian cry."
COMETS ON FIRE, Blue Cathedral(Sub Pop) and Bong Voyage(Bad Glue)
Bong-friendly meets the dark sibling. Both awesome listens.
These reviews were supposed to be published years ago, but weren't. Now you can read them and see why. Better yet, though, now you can go buy slowlyrotatingfan's new book Cowboy Psalms and Fat Haikus which actually draws directly from the Toro Sec Toro review in one of its "chapters."
ORTHRELM, 2nd 18/04 Norildivoth Crallos-Lomrixth Urthiln(Three One G)
He just started flickering his tongue and making very fast, high-pitched noises while playing air guitar.
... and nothing became something, as red blood dripped from the quill.
SKINNY PUPPY, The Greater Wrong of the Right(SPV)
Their first album of all nu material in almost a decade!
NOVEMBER 2002 REVIEWS
DIMMU BORGIR, World Misanthropia(Nuclear Blast)
Cheesy, for lack of a better word.
WOLF EYES, Fuck Pete Larsen(Bad Glue/Bulb)
Better, for lack of a cheesy word.
Short, but not necessarily sweet reviews of the META-MATICS, VHS OR BETA, the MICROWAVES and ORTHRELM.
OCTOBER 2002 REVIEWS
Buyin' the product from El-Producto.
BLONDE REDHEAD, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons and Mélodie Citronique(Touch and Go)
Wipe those tears away little Tobias Nathaniel. I wrote these reviews well over a year ago. Can you tell?
It's like a wasabi money shot. This time, he critiques VINCENT GALLO, MOISTBOYZ and the YEAH YEAH YEAHS. Speak to THE finger, bitch, 'cause you ain't worth the hand.
SEPTEMBER 2002 REVIEWS
...[an] American flag painted with baby blue and baby pink stripes to represent the infantile nature of war.
Solid and satisfying enough to take precedence over any Lynyrd Skynyrd longplayer.
...the man ... the band ... the legend ... reviews records by ARAB ON RADAR, XIU XIU, ERASE ERRATA and 25 SUAVES. I think I'm turnin' Japanese.
AUGUST 2002 REVIEWS
HOT SNAKES, Suicide Invoice (Swami)
It's where Raymond Chandler meets Raymond Pettibon. Their second LP.
HAIR POLICE, Blow Out Your Blood (Freedom From)
Jesus enjoys horseplay with mexican wrestling masks as much as "Grand Theft Auto 3."
...remember that it's just like the other side only it's a bit ... bit stranger.
SONIC YOUTH, Murray Street (Geffen)
Good times-ey straw hat-wearin' boogie rock. Smells phishy.
Breakin' out the big guns.
NEON HUNK, 'Abracadaver' (Liquid Death/Hello Pussy)
It's like he's wearing infant gauntlets!
Like Modest Mouse, only good.

SUPERSPHERE.COM ... was posting articles back when TE was still in its infantcy. Although my own H-T-M-L building blocks have been realized, I'm too lazy to post anything but new stuff, so here is a link. Articles featured on this link are twofold: An interview with Ui founder, mainstream hip-hop torch bearer (Run D.M.C. and Wu-Tang Clan in particular), and wannabe Calvinist Sasha Frere-Jones, and an embarassingly vulgar display of celebrity detailed in a no-budget 1999 GoGoGoAirheart West Coast tour.

AOL HOMETOWN BUFFETThis is something I did to settle a bet. Unfortunately, since it's AOL, I was bound to lose no matter what. Click here for an interview with Pall Jenkins from the Black Heart Procession and a couple of reviews.

PIRATE ENCLAVE Click here for an excerpt of the GoGoGoAirheart interview published in TE2. Please keep in mind that this posting went up before TE2 went to press, so there may be a few (hundred) errors in it. Cross-referencing a Free*Stars show could probably be considered one of them. Of course, that was neither my doing, nor my fault. Oh well, at least you'll get yr yuks out after seeing the pic of me (GASP!!) playing music.
