Amelia – A Long, Lovely List of Repairs / 2008 Adrenaline / 14 Tracks / http://www.ameliaband.com / I don’t know how well having a single start off an album in a foreign language is in terms of decisions, but the country-tinged bit of alt-rock that Amelia plays during “Enemigo†is something that is simultaneously catchy and intricate, touching on a number of genres and approaches. Individuals have little clue where…

Law of Inertia has…

[mag] – #9 Full Size, Newsprint, Free, 64 Pages. This is a super huge zine that has some of the same problems with it as does Maximum Rock?n?Roll and Punk Planet. The sheer number of ads is amazing, sometimexs taking up 3 or 4 pages. That trespass is a minor one compared to some of the others in this zine. About 12 different interviews scatter themselves through the zine, with…

. First off, the title is wrong. This is not a zine about La Lucha, this is a zine that should be called La Gimoteo. What was meant as a good liberal magazine has turned into a whiny echo of liberalism and an assault on the average person. The only lucky thing here is that this was the last issue of this rag. In the scheme of DePauw zines, this…
South Park – Imaginationland / 2008 Comedy Central / 67 Minutes / http://www.comedycentral.com / It may just be me becoming a heartless bastard, but I have felt that in the last few years that South Park has gotten a lot more preachy.
