Finally, before the lights go really dim and the backup generator has to kick in, another top link for the 70’s throwback.
At this page Roddy Lumsden is discussing short music reviews. As we all know the shortest, and best, critical appraisal of a piece of popular music was the two word summary of the merits of Spinal Tap’s "Shark Sandwich".
Said review was, for the culturally impaired, "Shit Sandwich"

For those that don’t want to vsit Amazon, here is the review…
Great documentary, but pointless., February 25, 2003
Reviewer: A viewer from Portland, OR USA
If you’re going to make such an excellent documentary, why make it about about a band that nobody has ever heard of?
Getting similar behind-the-scenes footage on the Who, The Stones, or Genesis would have been a monumental achievment in documentary cinema.
But Spinal Pap?
