Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned. That isn’t meant as a criticism - musically it references huge slabs of Springsteen (especially the opener, Years Ago, one of those slyly political songs with its ripe rip of sax, and the gloriously uplifting Hallelujah) and in its more relaxed moments the [...]

Tom Baxter - Skybound
|
It’s been three years since we heard anything from Tom Baxter. His 2004 release Feather and Stone, especially its opening track My Declaration, was a Radio Two favourite, but since then, not a sausage. Now comes Skybound, an autobiographical album, which shows off his angelic, dreamy voice with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.A [...]

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)
|
It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle. Yet where 69 Love Songs showed a remarkable profligacy of songwriting, and Showtunes elicited his love of Chinese music, Distortion is a conscious step back - not just looking over its shoulder, but swiveling round for a [...]

As a gifted singer and a versatile pianist with no formal training, Sara Bareilles burst onto the pop scene with a naturally skilled voice ranging from powerful and
soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, [...]

Fogerty’s Creative Revival
|
John Fogerty’s newest, Revival, is easily his best record since Centerfield, and has some of his best material since the CCR days. Songs like Gunslinger, Creedence Song, and Long Dark Night hold their own against Creedence’s best stuff.
The album starts off with Don’t You Wish It Was True, with a beat that is similar to [...]

Nobody realised it at the time, but it was Japan’s – and the world’s – first internet suicide pact ... But, of course, these are the same people who believe that 75 million years ago an intergalactic warlord injected millions of alien souls into earth's atmosphere, that those aliens, called Thetans, continue attaching to human bodies today, and that ... And even if spirits and souls proved indeed immortal, there still remained the vexing question of bodies.

Stay safe and here's hoping y'all get to come home soon. Kickoff sends the return man back into the end ... He gets wrapped up at the 15 by Adrian Peterson and someone else (too many bodies) comes in and pokes it loose. Cameron ... You deal with souls, not just bodies. I just could not be a writer and a physician. When I worked in medicine, I forgot about writing completely, so I decided at one point to choose writing. But I never stopped reading about medicine, and I often use ... As marchers gathered at the post office, Rachel Johnson called on them to, "march with the force of our souls, mobilized bodies in concern for justice." "We are not going to march with bricks and bottles," Johnson said. "That is not in our movement ... Surely she knows where some bodies are buried -- metaphorically speaking, of course.
