MS MR – Secondhand Rapture – CD The dark brooding electronica sound drew me in and the soaring harmonies kept me deeply involved. MS MR are a great blend of sullen and sultry with rhythm and hooks to spare. The lyrics are another strong point with plenty of...

Moment – Songs for the Self-Destructive – CD (Espo Records) I think that Moment is what Fifteen would sound like if they were a bit calmer and toned down the political activism a notch. Still, Moment is edgy and they do sing about issues that are important...

Mr. Centipede – A Home for Hardly Even – CD (This Hits!) Mr. Centipede is a guy with a Tascam, some dreams and now a CD. This release has a very lo-fi feel and for good reason…because it is very lo-fi. I do like his style and found many of the lyrics...

Marilyn Manson – Holywood – CD (Nothing Records) This marks the return of the old style of Marilyn Mason after his last albums foray into glam. While it is dark and gloomy it is missing something. Nothing about it really draws me in and makes me want to...

Malone, Michelle – Hello Out There – CD (SBS Records) This is music! “Caffeine and Catharsis” has a Dave Matthew’s feel, and the presence of Emily Saliers does give it an Indigo Girls mood at times. But well-written songs and strong...

Modern English – Life in the Gladhouse 1980-1984 – CD (Beggars Banquet / 4AD) The first thing I think of when I hear the name Modern English is their big hit “I Melt with You” and the movie Valley Girls which featured the song. Since I grew up in the ‘80s...
