By Alison L. Roberts | Published: August 18, 2009

A List: Reading – Manga & Comics (2008)

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: October 26, 2008

This represents titles I either read for the first time or the first time in a long time. Titles with an asterisk (*) are either in progress or ones I plan to finish at some point. Titles with an “X” (X) are ones that I don’t plan on completing or are a lower priority for [...]

A List: August 6, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: August 6, 2003

LISTENING: - Fiction by Yuki Kajiura | Kajiura is the composer behind the music from Noir — with which I am totally infatuated — so I knew I’d like at least part of this album. “Key of the Twilight” (vocals by Emily Bindiger, who did some vocals for Yoko Kanno’s CowBe soundtrack(s)) and “Zodiacal Sign” [...]

A List: April 28, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: April 28, 2003

LISTENING: - Blue Seed OST: A fun CD, and while I’m *usually* always for domestic versions using the Japanese cover art, I can’t help but wish the cover had been a little more … reflective of what the series is about. WATCHING: - Sports Night: I finally finished the DVD box I started back in [...]

A List: March 9, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: March 9, 2003

LISTENING: - Evanescence, Fallen: I am so glad that I held off on buying the Daredevil soundtrack and waited for this instead. It’s a very strong debut album — especially if you like power rock. (Quite a few people out there don’t.) So far, my favorite cuts are “Going Under,” “Bring Me To Life” and [...]

A List: July 26, 2002

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: July 26, 2002

LISTENING: - Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble: Greatest Hits: I am not the first to say it, but it is one of the great tragedies of modern music that he died in that plane crash. He was so money. - Third Eye Blind: Blue: This was a solid follow up to their debut. I [...]

You may have seen my name on a few (hundred) press releases...

I have a job promoting things I love, but I don't seem to stop -- even when I'm not being paid. WELCOME, and have a look around to see what I'm up to (and into) these days!
