Review: Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven
Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven The First Annual Camp Out Live MVD Visual Street: 01.30 Concert films are usually a let down. Reunion tours are also generally a drag, especially when fans that spent their whole adolescence singing along with a band have to witness their older and uninspired heroes fuck up the chorus to
Review: Wendy O William & The Plasmatics
Wendy O William & The Plasmatics 10 Years of Revolutionary Rock & Roll MVD Street: 11.21.06 Wendy O Williams was unorthodox in the best way possible. She pushed the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable at every corner. The Plasmatics were one of the first groups to bridge the gap between punk and metal, Wendy
Review: Okami
Okami Clover Studios Reviewed On: PS2 Street: 09.06 It seems as though many video game developers today have forgotten that there’s only one rule when making a new game. The game should be fun to play. These days many game developers look at games that have been successful and rip them off. However, sometimes the
Review: Benny Hill: The Hill’s Angel Years
Benny Hill: The Hill’s Angel Years Benny Hill, Dennis Kirkland A&E TV Street: 01.06 England’s Benny Hill became a huge hit on American TV in the 70s and 80s. His fast-motion silent skits were choreographed well enough to make Charlie Chaplin one of his biggest fans, and his misogynist humor was raunchy enough (for its
Review: Escape From Special
Escape From Special Miss Lasko-Gross Fantagraphic Books Street: 03.14 We have all been there and done that concerning our high school days; we hated them and they hated us and to have another coming-of-age book of any kind rehashing that theme of “growing up” and toughing it seems like one too many. But what we
Review: A Power Governments Cannot Suppress
A Power Governments Cannot Suppress Howard Zinn City Lights Street: 12.01.06 Howard Zinn is a genius. A Power Governments Cannot Suppress will be the most enlightening and powerful thing that I will read all year. The majority of the book is made up of columns that Zinn wrote for Progressive over the past few years.
Review: Beasts!
Beasts! Various Fantagraphics Books Street: 01.31 This beautifully bound and illustrated book fills its pages with the prompt that each artist capture a creature from mythological or folkloric storytelling; the cultural entities—”still thriving or extinct”—that fill our closets and deep recesses of our minds. The product is outstanding in its anecdotal accounts of beast history,
Random News From the Skate World – May 2007
Hell yeah, spring is here. The sun is shining and it’s nice to just be alive. Skateboarding is still making the world go around, maybe not, but at least skating makes the dogs bark and bite though.

This is the Place: American Fork Skate Park
Wow, for once the above phrase “This is the Place” has relevance in Utah other than the pristine nature our state holds within its borders. American Fork Skate Park is now Utah’s best-poured concrete marvel. I’m not sure who designed the park or for that fact who built it. I do know that they did
John Peter Lewis
It seems that for the past while now, if some lame band or shitty recording ‘artist’ contacts SLUG and requests an interview and they don’t really want to do the interview, somehow that interview gets offered up to me. Case in point, Lisa Loeb. Why Lisa Loeb’s manager would think it would be a good
