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 [...]

Album: Entropy
Entropy takes over. The marbles scatter randomly across the living-room floor. You wind up with those drab, anonymous dungeon-crawlers and first-person-shooters and puzzlers. Turn the game off, and you can't remember anything about it. It's much like ... Or knowing the physics of how the sun works, or how to make any glass act just like a plastic metal (my thesis), or why the entropy of the universe requires that black holes, contrary to theory, are not really a one-way sink for the universe. To ... The resulting product, Entropy (now the i2 collection) embraces the random chaos inherent in nature's design, reduces installation waste and eliminates the need for dyelots. IW: How does sustainability fit into your core business strategy? Anderson: ... At the moment, the scenes say, New Orleans is a combination of Connick's toe-tapping vivacity and moldering piles of gutting trash on the sidewalk, kindness-of-strangers volunteer help from all over and one brave woman's standoff with entropy. Seems ... It's the physical mechanism through which life apparently negates the principle of entropy. So while the portraits are a fantasy of the past, they're also about life — of life continually emerging from within stasis and decay," says Boursin, whose ... Closing track "When Entropy Decreases" is a sprawling mini-epic. Its opening melodies are devoid of warmth and chill to the bone; later portions howl with epic guitars and more of the band's cleverly soulless programming. Much like the album as a ... The inevitable laws of entropy and chaos apply in war, as the great 19th century Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz pointed out. Clausewitz, significantly, came to this conclusion decades before the Northern Irish physicist Lord Kelvin ... Ben Tremley : (on Davenport) Winning in zero-sum game by entropy i.e. FUD, retarding innovation etc etc … single-factor: max ROI next quarter Luis Suarez : (on change) Great thought, but we should not forget culture starts with yourself. If you want ... We squander personal joy hating the forces of entropy in the political-social spheres. Peace is a path, not a destination. If we hate, we are not walking that path. Giving thanks for the goodness we experience is an act of peace. We are re- energized. ... I, too, believe there needs to be more concrete evidence this is a SYSTEMIC problem for which entropy has happened and a business process reengineering has to take place. I see accreditation agencies as the auditor and even the auditor can only ...
