CMAT: If My Wife New I'd Be Dead (Album Review)

PopMatters — If you were to type the letters CMAT into a search engine just two short years ago, you would find information about the Common Management Admission Test, an online computer-based test conducted by the National Testing Agency, India. These days, results are dedicated to Dublin's self-professed "Global Pop Star" Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, the catchier acronym CMAT being her stage name.

BODEGA: Broken Equipment (Album Review)

PopMatters — For most adults, inhibitions are usually only jettisoned under the influence of alcohol; that age-old social lubricant can give you enough confidence to dance, for example, at a family wedding with people you'd ordinarily feel uncomfortable tying your shoes around. Fortunately for them, children aren't so embedded into this system of respectability.

DITZ: The Great Regression (Album Review)

DITZ: The Great Regression (Album Review)

PopMatters — Brighton is an intoxicating city. With hilly and quaint market streets offering a smorgasbord of vintage shops and bars, daytrippers from London are treated to its famous pier and expansive sea views; seagulls abound. But as is present in most of England, there's a neurotic energy that runs through daily life, an expectation to be socially respectable but also on your toes.
