A summer night in Paris and if I didn’t have the damnedest luck. My wife, Coverton, of whom we shall speak no more, was suffering from her migraines and so I was left without her magesterial presence yet again. The only thing to do was to jump into my beige 1967 Citroen DS and cruise the city feeling sorry for myself.

Stimulators Review by Chaz Bartok
The Stimulators are a pop group looking to hit it big with a mix of stompin’ electro tunes, a full-throated female vocalist, and some punky guitar licks. When I got the CD I was immediately struck by the lead singer– she looks a lot like a chick I used to date back when I was living in Denmark for a year. If you know me, then you know she’s fuckin’ hott. So the Stims have that going for them.

All Night Radio Spirit Stereo Frequency Reviewed by Terrence, American Buddhist
Greetings, friends, associates, and fellow seekers of peace around the world!
It is said that to achieve the satori, one must divorce one’s self from desire. A good Buddhist monk wants nothing, and receives only what is offered to him.

Randy’s Vintage Dub Selection Reviewed by Dubtronic “Dubble Dub” Dubstarski
This dub collection features dub tracks like Dub Me Girl, It’s a Dubbing Lie, and I Need Some Dub. A lot of the dubby tracks are rarities and obscure dubs which dubbed out of dub a dub long time ago. Big dubs to Jamaican Recordings to dub out the dub super-dub style.
Essential dubness comes from dub producer pioneer Bunny Lee cutting dubbed-out dub versions of dubtastic classics. This mellow dub collection is dub, but not too dub for a night of dubs. Dub it up at your pad with this record and you will dub out even your dubbiest friends who think they dub dub.
Much respect to the dub nation. Me out.
Radiohead, DJ Shadow mp3 review by Terrence, American Buddhist
Dear friends,
As I enjoy the fruits of indoor summers, I think of this quote:
The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.
–Zen Buddhist Text
Rabbit in your headlights by DJ Shadow and Radiohead from the U.N.K.L.E. album appears and is as it is. Enjoy!

From the Archives: Terrence, American Buddhist Reviews Source Material Compilation
I have told you many times now that life is suffering. I have told you many times that a true Buddhist monk does not need the soothing pleasures of cannabis buds or leaves to achieve the sartori. I have told you many times to discontinue the felonious sending of sweet marijuana buds through the mail– but I never thought you would actually listen!
