The new releases by Rollins Band and Helmet, Come In and Burn and Aftertaste, respectively, could not have come at a better time. I think my neighbors were getting tired of me venting my wrath by perpetually blaring the same Ministry and Rage CDs. Maybe I should switch to Fugazi or something...
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Let's Face It (Mercury):
Call me Bewildered. When I saw Moby's new CD, Animal Rights (Elektra) up at the office, I only felt sheer excitement-anticipating some ingenious ambient-techno expected from the master of elctronica.

There aren't many earthlings who can match up to their ambitions- with the exception of a close friend at Harvard, who's taking multivariable calculus, orgo, and advanced magnetism in his first semester. Interests of our galactic neighbors span from scientific inquiries to the show business: they abduct unfortunate humans to serve as their guinea pigs; they impregnate Madonna and grace the cover of the latest National Inquirer.
