No More's Mr. Nice Guy: Bordin talks of great 'Year'

If you were a very positive thinking band, what would you name your newest album? Maybe you'd do what Faith No More did and name it "Album of the Year."

Mustard plugs in at Cross St.

The acknowledged grand master of Grand Rapids ska made a stop in Ypsilanti a couple weeks ago, gracing the stage of Cross St. Station with its presence for a little more than a hour. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The opening band, The Dangerville Wildcats, did a fabulous job of warming up the crowd. A three-piece rockabilly band also hailing from Grand Rapids, the Wildcats received a good response with its Reverend Horton Heat-esque stylings.

Though cheesy, 'Party' is still worth crashing

Although we remain loyal addicts, regular "Party of Five" viewers witnessed the transformation of a touching prime time drama to a cheesy soap opera in the show's season premiere last Wednesday. They may have great looks, but it seems the entire cast is suffering from major personality disorders lately.

Silly plot makes 'Wishmaster' a flop

Did Wes Craven, producer of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series and the recent entertaining thriller, "Scream," lose his mind recently? I'm dying to know, because his latest "horrific" endeavor, "The Wishmaster," is filled with such poor acting and an unoriginal plot that it seems impossible that he can proudly attribute his name to the credits.
