lright, if this isn't one of the most jam-packed Music sections
in the last few months, you can just kick my ass right now. Because
this Music section rides circles around them other Music sections
while blowing them out of the water. That's right -- it's a circle-riding
water-exploding mind-blowing asskicker.
I mean, just look at this list of artists: The Everly Brothers,
the Gin Blossoms, Sonic Youth, Randy Travis, Bad Religion. Then we got Garbage,
The Presidents of the United States of America, John Wesley Harding, Soul Asylum,
and Don Walser. Then over in the mini-reviews, we've got Nelson
Riddle, Helen Boatwright, Madonna and Goldie.
Intense! Forget about Rolling Stone, forget about Spin,
forget about Option, forget about Melody Maker --
Weekly Wire's music section makes all of them combined
look like a trainer 'zine for some acne-ridden, taste-challenged
teenager.
