(I've also included some of my early TONY reviews, from the days before they were available on the website. Anything dating from 1998 or 1999 was likely edited without my input; in particular, I am not responsible for the horrifically lame final sentence of the Hi-Life review. You'll also find below a few alternative reviews from 2000, when I was still heroically attempting to write separate reviews for the mag and the site; generally these are either much expanded [e.g., High Fidelity] or considerably less sarcastic [e.g., Waking the Dead].)
