This Week In Music: 5/28-6/3

This week in music listening, featuring patent-pending two-word reviews:

The Get Up Kids: Guilt Show - expanded emo
James Iha: Let It Come Down - modern Manilow
Pete Townshend: Empty Glass - solo best
Steelheart: Steelheart - amazing pipes
Rocket from the Crypt: Hot Charity - jagged garage
Quasi: Sword of God - weird pop
Lita Ford: Dangerous Curves - slickly dated
The Desert Sessions: Volume 5 & 6 - underwhelming jams
FireHouse: 3 - third rate
Mouse On Mars: Vulvaland - little quirk
Medicine: Mechanical Forces of Love - jumbled mess
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Mo’ Width - worthy comp

May Movies

My movie watching for the month of May, with patent-pending two word reviews:

Transformers: Dark of the Moon - long cheesiness
Middle Men - interestingly chaotic
The Avengers - well assembled
Fright Night (1985) – fun twists
Paul - more laughs
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - successful reboot
Cowboys & Aliens - predictably average
What Just Happened? - shit happened
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger - lesser Woody
Namath – complex character
Chaos Theory - miscast potential
Real Steel - cliched inventiveness
