  • TOEJAMANDEARL - Round 2
    TOEJAMANDEARL - Round 2 1. The audio of the 1995 game Quest for Fame is based on works by these people. Members of the New Order Nation, including Helga, kidnap these people in a game whose projectiles include compact discs. These people are unlocked as playable characters as part of the Nipmuc High School level, which also includes a cover of Mott the Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes.” That game, which includes Tom Hamilton and all other people of this type, is the first dedicated spin-off of the Guitar Hero series. The rail shooter Revolution X stars, for 10 points, what group of musicians that includes Joe Perry and Steven Tyler? ANSWER: the members of Aerosmith 2. One activity in this game ideally requires waiting for a certain number on-screen to reach 1,484 and ignoring the player character entirely. Completing one task in this game causes a mole to appear if it’s done on the last possible attempt. A special controller for playing this game on the Atari 2600 has no joystick and just three buttons, which echoes its arcade control scheme. One object in this game can be deliberately thrown off the screen, which will kill a bird. Several activities in this game have between 42 and 45 degrees as optimal launch angles. For 10 points, name this Konami game that begins with a button-mashing 100-yard-dash. ANSWER: Track & Field 3. A trilogy of light-gun shooters whose titles start with this word center on “Rage” and “Smarty,” a pair of police officers.

  • The Weekly Arts End Entertainment Supplement to the Daily Nexus Daily Nexus 2 a Thursday, January 11,1996
    The Weekly Arts end Entertainment Supplement to the Daily Nexus Daily Nexus 2 A Thursday, January 11,1996 Various Artists R ed H ot + B othered Red Hot/Kinetic/Reprise This is a review of a compilation of some of the truly underground music world’s fin­ est efforts. Just like Red Hot + Dance and Red Hot+Blue, Red Hot + Bothered is an album created to benefit AIDS research. Red Hot + Bothered is at least a few months old, but hey, I just got it so it’s new to me. Featured are a wide range of bands that well-represent “indie rock.” For all those who may not know what indie rock is, it’s music that’s put out through independent labels. However, there have been some large exceptions to this recently. Bands such as Jawbox, Royal Trux, Shudder to Think ana, earlier, Sonic Youth, who had been indie bands have signed to major labels. Being that they still have a raw, unproduced sound and that they are still highly respected by indie rockers, it’s not quite right to drop them from that indie-rock labeling. Another stranger and somewhat more glaring exception to this indie rock stuff is the fact that Red Hot+Bothered is on Reprise, which is a major label. The Red Hot people tried to hide this by putting the compilation out through the indie label Kinetic simulta­ neously. Oh well. So much for staying true to hardcore roots. So much for keeping it real. At least it’s for a good cause and the music is really good.

  • Built to Spill (Us)
    2006-12-15 13:14 CET BUILT TO SPILL (US) BUILT TO SPILL (US) 9 maj – Malmö, KB 10 maj – Stockholm, Debaser Medis - KÖP BILJETT 12 maj – Göteborg, Sticky Fingers (Top Floor) När Doug Martsch bildade amerikanska indierockbandet Built To Spill i Boise, Idaho 1992 var hans intention att skapa ett projekt där medlemmarna inte var statiska, utan där bytet av dem skulle vara poängen. Bandet reinkarneras emellanåt med nytt blod och det enda man kan veta med säkerhet är att Doug Martsch självfallet kommer vara med och att det fortfarande är otroligt bra, oavsett övrig konstellation. Built To Spill förlitar sig i högre grad på bra kemi mellan medlemmarna än låtskrivande, även om de skriver som om de vore födda att göra just detta. Det är dessa ingredienser som bidrar till deras rent overkliga förmåga att förnya sig i sin musik gång på gång. Efter ett långt uppehåll i skivsläppandet, ända sedan redan klassiska ”Ancient Melodies of the Future” som kom ut 2001 är Built To Spill tillbaka med albumet ”You In Reverse” (Warner) som är det mest samspelta, inspirerade material detta extraordinära band någonsin visat upp. Nya skivan är beviset på bandets kaotiska men eleganta evolution där en viktig detalj denna gång är strävan efter en genuin 60-tals produktion. Det går att höra Neil Young och Pavement i Built To Spill, men de är i första hand starkt influerade av J Mascis tunga, melodiska gitarriff i Dinosaur Jr. Nu är även Brett Netson tillbaka i bandet som deras nyblivne femte medlem och hans avtryck på spår som ”Just A Habit” på nya skivan, där ett härdsmältande gitarrsolo skyltar med hans återkomst, är makalöst.
