Last weekend while drinking in "The Grotto", the Brothers In Arms album by Dire Straits began playing. Whenever I hear this album - which isn't often, and I still own it too. It was one of the first cd's I bought. In fact, the cd was made in Japan because it was before they had cd replication companies in the US. This was in 1985 and my cd player cost $250. I used all my Burger King working money to buy it. When I moved to California after graduating six months later it was the only thing stolen out of my 20 or so boxes when I had it shipped. Don't ever use the original box to ship in when something is technologically new like that. - Anyway, whenever I hear this album it reminds me of high school because it was there, in the Generals' Journal, that my first ever Album Review was published in the school newspaper. Unfortunately I don't tend to throw this evidence away, and so I managed to find the review stored away in our basement. So, there it is, printed in it's entirety above. Can you believe I used the word "brilliant"? How brilliant was that? Brilliant is such a brilliant word too. Click on the pic for a larger view. As a bonus you'll see my review of Motley Crue's Theater of Pain as well! Do I have a career at The Stranger?
