The April 2004 Fufkin.com page is up.  This month we have the following 
record reviews:

Mike Bennett presents full length reviews of the long awaited new album from 
the reformed Mission Of Burma, a tribute to The Who that features Guided By 
Voices, Pat DiNizio and Bigger Lovers, and the latest from Doug Powell, The 
Living End and Descendents.  Mike also has capsule reviews of new music from 
The Smugglers, Sodajerk, Van Hunt, The Casual Dots, Leatherface, Magnus, 
Anton Barbeau, The Gurus, Herb Eimmerman, From Bubblegum To Sky, a 25th 
Anniversary live album from the Australian band X and the first studio 
recording from the legendary proto-punk band Rocket From The Tombs.

Gary Glauber reviews the latest from Jason Falkner, Doug Powell, The 
Winnerys, Eric Anders, Ben Kweller, and They Might Be Giants.

James Baumann is back with reviews of Ben Kweller, Dave Edmunds, Rockpile, 
the soundtrack to the movie Porky’s Revenge (really!), The Townsmen, 
Thelonious Monster and Wilco side project The Autumn Defense.

David Fufkin reviews the second album from Iron & Wine.

David Fufkin also pays tribute to Paul Atkinson, former guitarist from one 
of the great bands of the ‘60s, The Zombies, who passed away recently.

Mike Bennett saw Franz Ferdinand live in a packed club in Chicago and gives 
you his impressions.

You know that classic 12-string guitar jangle sound that fueled so much ‘60s 
pop?  The first song to really feature that sound was The Searchers’ classic 
(written by Sonny Bono!) “Needles And Pins”.  Michael Lynch gives you the 
low down on the many great sides waxed by the second best British Invasion 
band from Liverpool.

Kurt Hernon uses a time honored literary device to discuss a new band called 
The Secret Machines that is generating a lot of buzz.

Alan Haber was standing on his soapbox while typing his latest column, where 
he talks about Howard Stern’s troubles and really puts things in 
perspective.

Eric Sorenson’s Further Observations of a Jangly Music Fan turns its gaze to 
new music from Roger McGuinn, Sunshine State, Shifter, Rob Smith, RockFour, 
Herb Eimmerman, Lolas, Bill Lloyd, Milkshake Jones and more...

Kevin Mathews really outdoes himself in this month’s edition of So Much 
Music...So Little Time.  He writes about Anton Barbeau, Soul Engines, Big 
Life Desire, Shifter, The Pioneers, Chicklet, The Squires of Subterrain, 
Bastards of Melody, The Stills, Aqualung, and many, many more!

David Fufkin interviews March Recordings artists see venus, who put out a 
new album last month.

Kurt Hernon is back with another installment of Liner Notes: A Real Life 
Guide To Independent Living.  It’s where poker, Morricone and Neal Pollock 
can all belly up to the same table.

Gary Pig Gold had breakfast with Pat Boone and, not surprisingly, lived to 
tell about it – it was Pat Boone, for gosh sakes!  Gary spins a tale about 
it.

Robert Pally, a true musical explorer, found Tony Poole, the guitarist for 
‘70s British band Starry Eyed And Laughing, and asked him a few questions.

As most of you know, it’s been 10 years since Kurt Cobain tragically ended 
his life, seeming to not have reached his peak.  David Fufkin gives his 
thoughts on the loss of the Nirvana frontman.

Finally, the extremely busy Mr. Fufkin offers a thought-provoking piece 
titled Condoleezza Rice, Bessie Smith and The Truth.  The piece contains no 
structural or systemic flaws, and Mr. Fukfin does not merely swat flies.

We hope you all come and visit us.
