The Reunion Show: Kill Your Television (Victory Records) - Wasn’t high school the best? Remember all those wonderful days of rebellious youth and unwarranted food-fights? Well, you can relive all those moments with this album! Woo-hoo! Just pop it in the player, and you’ll be kickin’ it with all the cool kids on the back of the bus! Kelly will be there, fawning over Zack (He’s so randy!). Jesse and A.C. Slater will be caught up in another one of their debates over who has the biggest dick. And Mr.

Ikara Colt: Chat And Business (Epitaph) - Honestly, I’m sorta torn on this one. I mean, these guys definitely rock out like a quartet of heavyweights. Right from the first song, Ikara Colt jumps on your back and starts devouring your skull like a Muslim Oprah Winfrey after Ramadan! There were moments when I feared for the safety of my hearing, what with all those thundering drum charges and dog tormenting guitar squeals.

I just finished watching a movie called Octopus 2: River of Fear. Basically, this cinematic masterpiece involves a giant-fucking-mutant-octopus (GFMO) that sets up shop in the Hudson River, and starts killing random New Yorkers faster than you can say, “Taliban!” Of course there’s a young Coast Guard officer (or “aqua-piggy”) who’s trying to thwart the dastardly beast. Of course, he’s hellbent on revenge after seeing it devour his mentor/friend/possible gay lover/poor man’s Shooter McGavin.

I sat in my car staring out the window at a plastic blue Wal-Mart bag that rolled along the road like some sort of haunted capitalist tumbleweed. The light changed, and I headed onward into the depths of Appalachian Tennessee; each passing mile taking me further away from my poisoned words. Words spoken out of confusion and retaliation. Words describing the truth, but poured through a twisted metal sieve that had been forged to make a saint's voice sound like that of a demon. An anti-villain who lashes out in an attempt to hide his wounds.

Fresh from the Alpha Quadrant comes Enterprise, Star Trek\'s answer to the prequel trend that\'s sweeping the nation. What does that mean for me? Some pretty new plastic items to add to my shelf. These aren\'t the same old Star Trek toys from a few years back. These babies are extreme, in-your-face, and tweaked to the max! All kidding aside, the merchandising torch has been passed to Art Asylum. This fledgling company was responsible for the Crouching Tiger action figures, among others, and the future has never looked brighter.

I picked this DVD up for the sole purpose of checking out the acting chops of the guy who will be playing the Hulk in the upcoming film by Ang Lee. I liked Eric Bana's performance in Black Hawk Down, but it was just a small sampling of Bana's talent. In Chopper he takes the lead role to become Mark "Chopper" Read. The film is a biography of sorts of the real Mark Read, a notorious Australian criminal who sent the local media into a frenzy with his violent antics.

Comedian is a brief look into the life of a stand-up comedian, namely Jerry Seinfeld. You may have seen him on a little TV show called Seinfeld. He was named after it. For those that don't know, a year ago, Jerry retired his stand-up material, never to use it again. This documentary follows Seinfeld for a year as he develops a new act. It's a serious look at what it takes to be a stand-up comic. And it’s seriously funny. It was very strange to see him on stage with raw material. At one point, he even loses his place in the middle of an act.

As a kid, I never read funny animal comics. NEVER. I was the superhero kid. From day one, I knew where my allegiance lay: the spandex crowd. I chose the genre that was larger than life. I took offense when I told my friends that I was a comics fan and they assumed woodpeckers and roadrunners. As I said, I never read funny animal comics. Well,.. except one. Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew debuted in 1982 with the tagline, \"Not just another funny animal comic!\" And it wasn\'t. This was a superhero parody, but it was more than just a spoof.

Astralwerks offers up two new disks for your aural pleasure. Unfortunately, both stop short of climax.

The moody Icelandic band known as Sigur Ros is coming to the Wexner Center on November 7, just in time for the transition from fall into winter. The music of Sigur Ros (which translates to “victory rose”) is like a landscape of fresh virgin snow-- beautiful, lush, and haunting-- perfect for this time of year. After their last album, the brilliant Agaetis Byrjun (Icelandic for “a good start”) broke through, Sigur Ros found themselves the favorite band of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.
