‘Sex’ on Page 1
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – Pittsburgh Post Gazette – Jun 5, 2008
I will be 40 this year and it is just a shame for lack of a better word that no performer or group has been able to capture what the “elder” groups or persons have. To me music started to die when Nirvana and Pearl Jam came along. Not that they weren’t influential (giving credit where it is due) to new “musicians” and the death of glam metal but it ushered in a new genre of “let’s just make money” type of music. All the boy bands and the Hannah Montanas are just crap. No soul no meaning no true fun unless you are a pre-teen. I look at what is out there now — Fall Out Boy Jonas Brothers etc… I will be 40 this year and it is just a shame for lack of a better word that no performer or group has been able to capture what the “elder” groups or persons have.

Back from extinction
Jerusalem Post – Jun 5, 2008
are back though I hadn’t thought of them in years. One of the forerunners to the alternative and grunge music scene of the 1990s the band has reunited and begun touring in support of their new album. It isn’t often that a band you love from your childhood gets back together to stage a show at an incredibly intimate venue. Just last year during a visit to one of the few remaining independent music stores outside my hometown I was pleasantly reminded of Dinosaur Jr. with the chance discovery of their year-old release Beyond. Now they’re playing two shows in Israel – sweet… Somewhere between acquiring my first electric guitar and breaking a comb in the dense curls of my then untamed hair I discovered Dinosaur Jr. and they were not your average alternative band. Like most ’90s bands they emerged out of the punk rock and heavy metal scene. This amalgamation of different styles popularized the band in the underground college music scene. They came at songwriting from a different angle and opted out of the loud screamy vocals that characterized other ’90s favorites such as Alice and Chains and Soundgarden. Rather Dinosaur Jr. approached their music from a dense and heavy rhythmic core juxtaposed against a low slightly shaken but not stirred vocal line reminiscent of Neil Young.

Weaknesses: Uses expensive Stick Pro Duo cards; HDTV cable is not included. Overall Evaluation: This camera with its sleek metal body looks and feels more expensive than its $200 price tag. It has tons of features that I am still exploring. Auto macro works well for me on my close-up pictures. Connect this camera to your HDTV to view slide show with music (new tracks can be downloaded to camera) and you will attract attention from everyone in the room… It has tons of features that I am still exploring.

"Yeah there’s been quite a lot when you think about it says Langford 50 a native of southern Wales. "I just had to plow on a lot leave a trail of dead behind me. "The trail to country music branched off from punk when Langford and his band mates got bored with that musical genre in the mid-’80s. "Punk rock had become very much of a cul de sac" he says "We always thought it was this thing of being free to do whatever you wanted to do. But by that time actually the industry had gotten a lid on it and decided it was the freedom to have a ridiculous Mohican and wear a leather jacket and do speeded-up heavy metal. "About that time Langford discovered Hank Williams Jimmie Rodgers and Cajun music and then a friend in Chicago sent him a mix tape of George Jones Merle Haggard Ernest Tubb and Hank Thompson… "The trail to country music branched off from punk when Langford and his band mates got bored with that musical genre in the mid-’80s.
