This was released in 1995 on Tooth and Nail records, and it has 8 songs. These covers range from Bryan Adams, Buddy Holly, A-HA, and The Altar Boys. The cover of Summer of 69 is decent, only when compared to the original, because…

The Healing Cancer #3 / 1:30 / 56M / [email protected] /I picked this up when MC Homeless stopped back in Kent. The Healing Cancer is a zine that absolutely loves its interviews, which constitute about 90% of the material in this issue. A number of foreign acts are given time that they would not normally have in an issue, and The Healing Cancer seems to bounce between rap, hardcore, and…

Elizabeth: The Golden Age / 2007 Decca / 20 Tracks / http://www.elizabeththegoldenage.net / Elizabeth: The Golden Age uses an interesting back and forth style between two very established composers (Craig Armstrong and A.R.
