This is one of the oldest CDs in my collection. It was given to me as a gift. At the time I never really liked it that much… except for maybe “Need You Tonight.” In hindsight, it’s not THAT bad. There are plenty of hits that you can sing along with. And even the schmaltz like “Never Tear Us Apart” is appealing to my aging ears.
However, I was a big fan of Shabooh Shabah, and this record does even come close to that one. They seem to have lost much of the phat-synth sound in favor of a more sparse pop structure.
Knights of the New Crusade are America’s premiere punk rock Biblical literalists. Religious viewpoint aside, this is some of the rawest, skuzziest garage rock since The Mummies. Michael Lucas of The Phantom Surfers provides most of the vocals so you can probably take their message with more than a few grains of salt.
In 2000 I finally was able to find time to create a hand-printed Christmas card as opposed to a set of generic cards that Wika and I would just buy from Wal-Mart.
While still better than the majority of post-Connery Bond films, this one lacks the intrigue and story of Casino Royale. It relies too heavily on choppily edited chase sequences that are really just standard Bond faire.
We had a track from No Sun played on this week’s Local & Indie Podcast on One Kind Radio. They had some nice things to say about the CD and threw in a plug for tonight’s show at the Beat Kitchen.
Starts out pretty good, but decends into the idiotic by the end.
Not the strongest book in the series. It doesn’t help that many of the regular characters are gone in this book.
Beautiful wood engravings are the reason to “read” this.
I loved I, Claudius but was utterly bored by this. Maybe I would have appreciated more if I had more than a passing knowledge of the Bible. It doesn’t help clear up matters when it seems like half the characters are named either Mary or John.
A lot of people hated this movie, but I thought it was pretty darn good. Okay, the demons were a bit much and there’s not much character development, but the slow beginning pays off with an exciting, stylish finale.
