“Our Song,” respectively.To make life even sweeter, Swift also has this week’s highest vaulting new single, “Picture to Burn,” which bows at No. 52. The only other first-time songs [...]

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 [...]

Sara Bareilles
|
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 [...]

D-Type
His career spanned 33 years at Jaguar and Dewis tested and developed a remarkable series of cars including the C-type Jaguar, the D-type, the XK 140 and 150, the Mark 2 saloon and the ground-breaking E-type. He carried on with such development until ... Not the fancy free-standing type, with the removable pink organs and tiny fetus, but the 2-D type found interlaced between the printed pages of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I never seemed to tire of turning the plastic leaves that, with each flick ... I think all the Duesenbergs have been discovered; all the Cobras are present and accounted for, and the locations of all the C-Type Jags and the D-Type Jags are pretty much known. But there still are a lot of other exciting cars out there. If you ... More recent measurements have shown that the moons are in fact relatively red in their color, and resemble even more primitive D-type asteroids in the outer solar system. Those ultra-primitive bodies are also thought to contain carbon as well as ... ... Nick Wigley/Mark Hales – Gordini T23S (Class 3), Adrian Hall and Nick Adams – Lotus X (Class 3a), Michael Steele and Whizzo Williams – HWM Jaguar (Class 4), Ben Eastick, shared with Nigel Webb, Neil Cunningham and Grahame Dodd – D-type Jaguar ... Along with a school buddy, Don Patrick, he built a $120 prototype sports car modeled on the D-type Jaguar. But producing the Cydon, as they christened it, on a commercial basis required more money than they had. Poonawalla abandoned the idea ... Economic development officials are hoping to attract "high-tech, high-paying R&D type" businesses to the West Knox County park. The new park's biggest selling points are its location and the fact its 13 parcels are development-ready, said Todd Napier ... I doubt this loser's name was changed to acknowledge Biblical reference. Anyway, with the rest of his name, sounds like a D&D type geek. We called them lounge lizards or "the D&D geeks" when I lived in the dorm... " I once took a 1955 D-type Jaguar touring. The passenger compartment is really small and exhausts go right under it. My wife's tennis shoes were sticking to the floor. We hit a torrential rainstorm in this open car, which had a 4-inch-high windscreen ... As for Drama, Vince's older brother on the show -- the Don Swayze to his Patrick Swayze -- that's another one-note character, only Kevin Dillon does a pretty good job with him. (Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd type.) The scene when he ...
