And now for your reading pleasure, a band that I can be certain that 99% of you will not have heard of?Augustana?with their debut album ?All The Stars And Boulevards.?
Released on Epic Records in 2005, this quartet are, by first listen anyway, the nearest style the Americans have to a ?Brit-pop? band?but saying that means they are nothing like Oasis/Blur/Suede/Pulp/Supergrass etc. Instead they represent a slightly pessimistic view on life?the fact that Americans only sing about the bad times shows they are oh so miserable people!!
Opening track ?Mayfield? shares a sound not to far away from the likes of Snow Patrol, Train or Mercury Rev from this side of the ?pond? if you will ? there you go, you?ll feel as if you?ve known this band for years now!

*A review of Super Mario All-Stars for SNES.*
Before I bought Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES I already had Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES - two of the four 2D platform games which have been enhanced for this collection. With Super Mario All-Stars I got to play the two Super Mario Bros. 2 games on console - one of them being Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels which was not released outside of Japan. As Super Mario All-Stars was one of the earlier collections of video game remakes it would have seemed irresistible at the time considering the original games were less than 10 years old, so there was perhaps no need for extras. Of note, only Super Mario Bros. 3 offers simultaneous 2 player action through a decent enough battle mode.
