Read on to experience the greatest e-magazine on the interweb. en Punt Punt Sun, 21 Aug 2005 18:58:45 +0200 daily 1 After an escapade of near death at my last assignment in the field, Sean Carroll demoted me to simple desk jobs, stubbing his cigar out on my forehead with a flourish of his wrist. But I wasn’t too disappointed. Why? My task was to review the next Weezer album. I eagerly opened the case with my shaking fingers. It was like Christmas, albeit a Christmas with Rivers Cuomos singing about girl troubles in my lobe-less ears, and a Christmas taking place in late spring. "Weezer," I said, "you won’t disappoint this time. I know you wont," only partially aware that I sounded like an Enid Blyton creation, and fully aware that Michael Bay could write better dialogue. I could have sworn Rivers winked back at me from the cover, his thick spectacles acting like a magnifying glass. If I hadn’t be on hallucinogenic drugs at the time. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so optimistic. After all, the album was called "Make Believe", the cover had a little too much pink for my liking, and the lead single "Beverley...

The road to success has been particularly cruel to the Californian based rock and rollers. The band struggled for over a decade before releasing their first main stream accepted album and then, after releasing the phenomenal "Songs for the Deaf", life got even harder for the rock 4 piece. Singer/Guitarist Mark Lanegan was kicked out of the blossoming band by front man Joshua Homme. Bassist, Nick Oliveri (the bald, bearded, screaming, constantly naked guy) was also fired by Josh, who told him that it was a direct result of his "reckless behaviour" (which in the music biz translates as "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY BAND YOU GODDAMN JUNKIE!"). And from there things just got worse. Drummer Dave Grohl disappeared from the Queen’s list of friends who would work for them. The critics began to write them off, saying that after the string of firings the band was doomed. Their record company threatened to drop them if they didn’t come up with a new...

Sure it may be a shitty blog, and yes, the options are horribly confining, and true, the garish colours and wobbly font will eventually result in blindness, but we are officially on the Internet. Viva La Revolucion! As I would say after having a milk too many. The Revolution, initially a school newspaper run in the halls of Terenure College, has outgrown its once humble surroundings. Today we cater for a typical audience of about 13 a week on the internet. Before you get a perception of us as Roysh Fucks wearing rugby jerseys with collars-up, and Chinos and Dubes, read our articles and reviews. For we are but simpletons with a lot of free time on our hands, hoping to exploit and foist our views on an unwitting, naïve generation eager for the slightest push in an alternative direction. And so, to business. Since the Revolutions arrival, our...
