I haven’t put up any movie reviews recently. Here is a link to a review I did for the weekly for the Burger Record’s Caravan of Stars. Burger is amassing an awesome catalogue of cassette releases. Amy took the picture. I think it is one of her best.

I got to review a really great rock show for the Tucson Weekly last week. A local band called Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout opened for an Israeli band called The Monotonix. Two great bands. Here is a link to the review:

I also picked up the latest Monotonix album. The band employs heavy riffs, but in a sort of celebration that is a compliment to their live shows. The vocals remind me a bit of Karp. When I heard there was a band that tore up the place like they do, I thought it might be something of a novelty. But there is a real sincerity to what is going on at their shows, and it comes through on the album.

I have recently had the opportunity to contribute some live reviews to the Tucson Weekly. Here is a link to a review I wrote about a recent performance by Dead Meadow who came through town about a week ago.
