The Fufkin.com update staff apologizes for a delayed
update on the July 2005 page, which is now up.  The
heat and humidity have wreaked havoc with the
computer, and summer movies and vacations -- we have
plenty more excuses.  But the page is up, so check
this out:

Mike Bennett presents full length reviews of new
releases from Pernice Brothers, Art Brut, Frank Black,
Poor Luther’s Bones and Maximo Park, along with
capsule reviews of the debut of The Quarter After, the
reissued P-Hux album, a Jawbox tribute, Snow & Voices,
The Shout Out Louds, Carolyn Mark, The Jessica
Fletchers, Dwight Yoakum, The Afternoons, The
Lucksmiths, a Smashing Orange compilation and the
soundtrack to the musical Hillbilly Antigone, composed
by Rick Sims (ex-Didjits/Supersuckers/Gaza Strippers).

Gary Glauber contributes more analytical reviews of
the latest from David Mead, The Afternoons, The
Cyclones, The Heavenly States, Fran Smith, Jr., plus a
review of the new Fountains of Wayne compilation.

Michael Lynch reviews the The Beatles: The Capitol
Albums, Volume One.

Gary Pig Gold reviews the newest from Steve
Kilpatrick.

Mike Bennett was going through some flotsam and jetsam
from his younger years and dug up a couple of top 20
lists he wrote back in the ‘80s.  See how he rates
them today.

Alan Haber has something in common with The Standells.
 He was touched by the presence of Herman Munster. 
Read his column to find out what we’re talking about.

Kevin Mathews has little time, yet so much music to
write about.  This month, Kevin runs through
impressions of the new Coldplay and Oasis albums,
along with Robert Pollard’s 403rd recording project,
the solo debut LP of Doug Gillard, thoughts on the
final Guided By Voices record and that honorary member
of San Francisco society, Peter Frampton.

The latest edition of Eric Sorensen’s Further
Observations from a Jangly Music is vibrating as
usual, with commentary on music from The Quarter
After, The Tunes, The Livingroom Legends, The Green
Fields, The Gordons, Chris von Sneidern, and, the
ultimate janglers, Teenage Fanclub.  And, of course,
much more.

We hope you can come check us out.  Thanks!
