“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 [...]

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 [...]

You Are the One" by D12. Person I most admire: "My mom, just for the way she's succeeded in life coming from a childhood where she really didn't have a lot of money and a lot of things going for her. Now she's got a great family and a successful career Chart: - Your Saved Charts - $INDU - Daily Line (solid), 620 $TSX - Daily Line (solid), 620 A01 CCO.TO - Daily Line (solid), 620 A02 DML.TO - Daily Line (solid), 620 A03 PDN.TO - Daily Line (solid), 620 A04 LAM.TO - Daily Line (solid), 620 A05 MGA.TO ... Bizarre from D12 actually first told me about the show, we did a tour together. My wife wanted me to get healthier too though, so you know how that goes.” Despite initially going into the season mostly for the money, the show helped Bone Crusher ... The superstar rapper is expected to release a new album in 2008 -- though, truthfully, he was expected to release a new album this year, too. But he's been working with Dr. Dre and product is expected by summer, and an album with his D12 crew is set ... Between them Eminem and 50 Cent have sold 72 million records worldwide; 60 and 12 million respectively. Eminem will be headlining the tour and will have D12, Obie-Trice and Stat Quo performing with him. He will be performing tracks from his four ... Proof, 32, and born Deshawn Holton, had acted in a small role in the 2002 movie 8 Mile Proof and had been a close friend of star singer Eminem and a member of his rap collective D12. He had also acted as best man at Eminem' remarriage with first wife ... Kelly, D12, and Twista in favor of an incredibly awesome lineup featuring Ma$e, J-Kwon, Houston, Jojo, and the Ying Yang Twins. I picked Juice up at the train station around 5:30 and we gunned it straight to Taco Bell, where a group of short-skirted ... 29. d12-Doc Sloan (Imperial, MO) 74.0 30. 00-Danny Martin, Jr. (Sarasota, FL) 74.0 31. 17b-Ryan Bickett (Ramona, SD) 74.0 32. 59d-Dustin Morgan (Tulsa, OK) 69.5 33. 95-Matt Covington (Glenpool, OK) 68.0 34. 25-Gary Taylor (Sapulpa, OK) 68.0 35. 20-Josh ... All is quiet in the Shady camp at the moment — besides the hailstorm of publicity that Shady/Aftermath artist 50 Cent has been stirring up, Eminem and D12 are playing it low-key. But that hasn't stopped Obie Trice from gearing up for his next project, ... Without a sticky pass or laminate you're not going to get far, not even if the security guards saw you onstage with Eminem the night before.
