Cats & Jammers – After School Special – CD (Beluga Records) Greg Brady was Johnny Bravo right? Cats and Jammers are what I envision Bobby Brady’s band would sound like if he had a band when he was seventeen. Cats and Jammers are actually a trio from...

Chalk – Nothing Left to do but Die – CD (Deary Me Records) Well, I can now say that Chalk is my favorite band on the Cincy label “Deary Me Records”. This disc is just great. It is a great conglomeration of synthesizer-based music that is...

Cher – The Best of Cher – CD (MCA / Universal Records) Ok, I have to admit that I did actually request to review this CD, but please don’t let that taint your opinion of me. Blame it on my mother. She played that fucking Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves...

The Chubbies – She Wanted More – 7″ (Mutant Pop Records) The Chubbies are a great punk-pop band that has been around since 1994. I don’t know much about them, but on this release it’s two women with a guest bassist. I don’t know if...

Coldspot 8 – It’s the Feelgood – CD (Beatville Records) This is first wave styled ska with a big dose of reggae. I like the groove, but it remains similar throughout most of the songs. This is more of a background ska disc or a soundtrack to put on...

Core – The Hustle is On – CD (Tee Pee / MIA Records) Oh God…I know this CD had to have ended up in the unclaimed pile, and I got stuck with it. Oh, the humanity… anyway, Core really sucks. “The Hustle Is On” is a collection of...

Counting Crows – This Desert Life – CD (DGC) I’m a bit surprised. I like a few of their songs that I’ve heard on the radio from previous releases, but I never really expected much from them. This release has turned out to be one of my favorites in this...

The Robert Cray Band – Heavy Picks – CD (Mercury / Universal Records) Robert Cray was the first blues musician that I really listened to and got into. Sure I’d heard quite a lot of blues before him, but none of them really reached me. The only thing close...

Croatan – Separation Anxiety – 7″ (GOD Incorporated) Croatan sounds like somebody consumed plenty of acid, went into the recording studio, and attempted to sound like the heavy metal version of Joan Jett who spews out lyrics about strangulation and...

The Crayon Theatrical – The Crayon Theatrical – CD (Skeptical Cat Recordings) This six-song release by the one man wonder, Michael Homyk, is a proof that it’s possible to home record and not suck. The music has a swirly psychedelic feel to it. The...

Cactus Pears – Snacks for Slacks – CD (EFB Records) This band reminds me a little bit of Wilco, Son Volt and other alt-country acts out there, with an edgy sense of cynicism and twangy melodies, but Cactus Pears incorporates a spacier/surfer feel to some...
