P.S. The last word in the review is "loud" and this was written by John Milward.

The blurb in the ...finally liner notes for Jay's credits are taken from this review (i.e. "disingenuous harmonies, brash guitar").

Note the misspelling of Tim's name (Guirk...tee-hee).

Mutiny Review, Alternative Press 9/92

A slightly bitchy Mutiny review from the Alternative Press.

In Perpetuity (1993)

This, according to Joybuzzer, was released to radio on February 9, 1993. Had Giant Records chosen to invest in the music video that the band already shot, would have (at very least) been a minor hit. The Forever In Your Face Tour in 1993 was in support of this single. There was no front or back cover art so this is all you get. I love that it gives the proper pronunciation and definition of "perpetuity" on the CD itself.

Mutiny Seventeen Review!!!

Perhaps not worthy of my triple exclamation points, but still funny nonetheless. I think this popped up in the Finally liner notes. Actually Liz, "Stay At Home" sounds like The Cars (or whomever Roy Thomas Baker applied his multi-tracking vocal technique to that week). But yes, we both agree that Tommy Vinton is TMJ's secret weapon.

Donna Everywhere (1992)

This was the quintessential TMJ single, which also means it wasn't a tremendous hit but should have been. An absolute power pop masterpiece of the 1990's. The video was actually very good (and directed by Teller of Penn & Teller). I still remember WDRE-FM playing this seemingly non-stop in August of 1992. Ah, the Summer of '92.

Cereal Killers Photo stuff

This is my favorite TMJ Photo. I dunno why. This is the CD longbox (remember them?), the cool photo from the fold in the CD and the cassette (remember them) photo too.
The Cereal Killers poster had an ideal combination of all of these and was/is very nice indeed.
