Like so many tiny lesions on the vast media epiderme

I'm not sure, but this, by one DJ Pusspuss from the San Francisco gay magazine SF Spectrum, may be the first published blurb/review of Yesterday Rules. It's the first one I've seen, anyway. And here's the second. College-rock tones, dude.

UPDATE: One more. If I'm not mistaken, this is based on an email interview for a school project. I'd give Heather an A for the article; the web page layout guy gets an A+ and a "see me after class" for the accompanying photo.

Sorry Lost-- that link was bad. I changed it to the DJ pusspuss page, but you still have to scroll down to Yesterday Rules.

Wow, an album review in a gay rag! After looking at this list of other albums reviewed, you and Al Green must be honored to be so chic and included in this group! Unless I'm missing something about you and Al? LOL ;)

"...they never fail to be interesting."

Is the word "interesting" one you ever want to see in a review? If MTX was say, a restaurant, and it was written up as "interesting," I'd worry about the Health Dept. closing it down.

Actually, I think I've failed to be interesting lots of times, no matter how hard I try. But I've been told I have a nice personality...

That's cool that both reviews are favorable. Frank, how do you react to negative reviews and will you be posting any here? Probably a silly question, but I was just wondering.

Probably OT, but what's the cover art come from?

Posted by: Wes at January 10, 2004 07:40 AM

The cover reminds me of Gena Rowlands in "Faces".

hey dr. frank,
im definitely going to the Brooklyn show this year (here's hoping its as amazing as the last NYC Brownie's show when i started my freshman year at columbia, which forced me to venture downtown for the first time), and I was wondering, if I ask really politely before the show, could i play guitar on "She's Coming"? it'd rock, man.

Frank always looks good, whether in a yellow cardigan or a suit and tie. *wink*

I like the narrow one.

Yeah I totally dig that article on PittPunk, I haven't seen anything new published about MTX for quite a while. I just wonder why Alcratraz wasn't mentioned on there as a masterpeice.
Check out my rock (URL)... oops...was that a plug?

One review says "for nearly 2 decades" the other "18 years." Hoo boy. Has MTX registered for the draft yet?

Posted by: Nick at January 12, 2004 06:25 PM

Awesome, Heather is mentioned!

Dr. Frank,

As an admin at pittpunk.com, I'd just like to say thanks for the plug for the site, and the link to the article.

Posted by: Paul at January 22, 2004 06:41 AM

Dr Frank,

My name is Adam, and I own and operate Pittpunk.com.... just wanted to thank you for the kind words on the layout. I've been a fan for a long time. Keep bringing the good rock.

Thanks,
Adam

Let the record show I had nothing to do with the picture of dick cheney, that was all the pittpunk administrator's idea.
But thanks for the awesome mention!
