Retro Music, Bands, Clubs and Lyrics
- The Canonical List of Weird Band Names
- This unexpurgated version of "The Canonical List of Weird Band Names" from 7/19/98 is preserved and presented here to give the lie to the growing number of web sites, commercial and personal, that are mindlessly reproducing some nameless PC-ditherhead's sanitized version, which first surfaced back in the wild and woolly days of the net when chellec created and yet maintained the authentic Canonical List of Weird Band Names.

- AMG All Music Guide: All Over the Place
- Denise Sullivan's review: "the release capitalized on the pretty, all-girl-group angle rather than the band's actual raw talent, which might otherwise have been too rough and retro for radio at the time." 4 stars.
- Calamity Pop
- Pop Friction was Calamity Pop's debut album, and our first release in 2004.
Lead Singer Zuq Iruall, well known in the local cover band scene, teamed up with songwriter and producer Paul Russell to bring out a pure rock pop album that forecast the revival of 80's music about 2 years before it really happened.
The album was recorded over a period of two years, with Zuq juggling vocal duties with his six night per week singing gig at local clubs like Thumper and Ipanema. The songs were a mixture of new material and stuff that Paul had written over the previous 25 years. The genre is 80's Powerpop, but you will hear a diverse array of influences in there. - Plugged In: Mariah Carey - Charmbracelet
- Bob Waliszewski's review: "breaks away from the hip-hop influences of recent efforts, giving fans a more retro Carey sound."
