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, [...]

As strange as it sounds the friends battled it out at the board game when they were hanging out at Jay-Z’s new club recently.

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 [...]

Mightily as it tries, the valentine recounting Ringo's rise as one of "those four boys from Liverpool" who conquered America (cue canned Shea Stadium crowd noise here) conjures little of the excitement of those heady, halcyon days. Unfortunately, it ... Because everybody was equal in these halcyon days, building connections was called "peering" (as in the modern term Peer-to-Peer). By the late 1990s, though, hard-headed bean counters had taken over, and a major change ensued. The largest ISPs ... For weeks now there was expectation that the WACA pitch would revive memories of the halcyon days when Rod Marsh stood nearer to Gloucester Park paceway than to the batsman to take Dennis Lillee at head height. At the same time, it was common ... Talk of it being a throwback to the halcyon days of Dennis Lillee were premature. The WACA pitches which Lillee used to run amok on were so hard they had a glistening white sheen. This one is more dull brown and is playing accordingly. Australia's ... Otellini and Smith should be licking their chops and laying out a plan for resuming the consistent 59%-60% gross margins of the Pentium II halcyon days -- not putting up weak support for a meek outlook. The combined 23% share price drop in this ... Romney makes sure to remind people of this connection, not only that it exists but also that the Romney name is firmly tied to the halcyon days of the American automotive industry. McCain enjoys no familial lineage here, but he does have a record of ... Perhaps more importantly, McGhee has them playing the most stylish, swashbuckling football seen at Fir Park since the halcyon days of Bobby Graham and Willie Pettigrew three decades ago.

London as a city not unlike Hell (to paraphrase,I believe, Lord Byron) are some simply trying to add another soiled feather to Nu Labour's already mucky cap?

Drastic cost-cutting has pruned increasingly expensive foreign assignments. Another impediment to good analytical intelligence is the youth and inexperience of some 45,000 analysts in the ... The sprawling buildings look tired, the grounds are rundown, and the hotel appears confused as to its market, which is no longer the five-star celebrity set it enjoyed in its halcyon days.
