Various Artists (Nitro). Review by Margie Libling.

The world’s going to hell in a handbasket. We’re at war, the economy’s in shambles, and this Enron thing is downright scary. And Celine Dion’s making a comeback. Yet people still find time to send us hate mail. Who says the terrorists have already won?

If a picture’s worth a thousand words, here’s a 19,000 word essay from staff photographer Jen Lato, summing up 2001 both professionally and personally.

Brian Kruger takes a look at the first volume of The Show, an LA-based TV series featuring performances by H2O, No Use For a Name, Kill Your Idols, Flogging Molly, Avail, Less Than Jake, 7 Seconds, Madcap, The Ataris, MXPX, and AFI.

Liza Hearon gets down to the basics – sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll – with Charlie Paulson and Kelly Lemieux of Goldfinger. Prison time? KISS? TRL bashing? It’s all fair game in this no-holds-barred interview.

Vans Warped Tour 2001, featuring Pennywise, Less Than Jake, The Bouncing Souls, The Vandals, A.F.I., H2O, Me First & the Gimme Gimmes, Sum 41, Kool Keith, Morgan Heritage, The Ataris, Rancid, and 311 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, FL on July 27, 2001.

…used the world over where people can come together to bitch…” Yes, disgruntled former DJs, more angry A.F.I. fans, and pissing off the French: it can only be another dip into the Ink 19 virtual mailbag…

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’ll touch your heart. Yes, it’s another trip into the Ink 19 virtual mailbag.

Let’s take another dip into the Ink 19 virtual mailbag, and see who’s ticked off at us THIS week…

Time is the Distance (Epitaph). Review by Brian Kruger.

We get all kinds of strange mail here at Ink 19. Here’s a random sampling from this month’s virtual mailbag.

A.F.I., with Destination: Daybreak and the Distillers at the Sapphire Supper Club in Orlando, FL on November 16, 2000. Concert review by Liza Hearon.

AFI Rooolz, dood! (Ink 19, November 2000)

Hmm, this CD by melodic hardcore East Bay quartet AFI starts with a very goth…
