Mirrors (Ohio band) Mirrors (a.k.a. the Mirrors) were a rock band from Cleveland, Ohio originally active 1973 - 1975, although some accounts indicate they formed as early as 1971 or 1972. Their sound has been described as "psychedelic garage" and "proto-punk". In his review of a 2009 LP of their 1970's material for "Mother Jones" former "Maximumrocknroll" editor Mark Murrmann described them as "not as bent as the Electric Eels...nor as throttling as Rocket from the Tombs." The band's founder, Jaime Klimek, who sang and played guitar, said they "were ferociously loud." The other members were Jim Crook, guitar, Mike Weldon (who started "Psychotronic Video" magazine in 1980) drums and a succession of bassists first Craig Bell (later of Rocket from the Tombs) followed briefly by Paul Marotta who soon switched to keyboards (and played with the electric eels), then Jim Jones (who later played guitar in Pere Ubu), then Bell again and finally Jones again. In some of their recordings Jones played drums. They played original songs and covers originally by the Velvet Underground, the Kinks, the Troggs and Brian Eno among others. After they broke up Klimek, Jones, Marotta, other former members of the electric eels and Anton Fier formed the Styrenes. In 2013 and 2014 Klimek, Crook, Bell and other musicians played some reunion shows in Cleveland.

Reptilians (Starfucker album) Reptilians is the third studio album by the Portland-based electronic indie rock band Starfucker. Departing from the light feel of their previous work, "Jupiter" (2009), the twelve-track "Reptilians" includes lyrics by Joshua Hodges about death and the end of the world, while musically not sounding depressing. One of the ways these theories are supported is using samples of British-American philosopher Alan Watts in some of the tracks. Finished in November 2010 and released on March 8, 2011 by Polyvinyl Records, two singles were issued from "Reptilians", which was "Julius" in late 2010 and "Bury Us Alive" in January 2011. Upon its release, the album earned mostly positive reviews from music critics, with praise going towards the band's development from their previous records and re-listening value.
