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 [...]

Two medical clinics were built in rural areas, and in Herat, a burn ward was established for women who suffered from self-immolation. For the past three years a medical team has been paid to care for these women through the Afghan Women's Fund. Two ... Meanwhile, the staff over at Nickelodeon has officially started to contemplate self-immolation. Toys from China are out: they’re fun to play with and reasonably priced, but have the unfortunate side effect of killing and maiming small children. This ... I've said it before, and I'll say it again---a person just cannot keep a truly good band down. In keeping with the unholy crusades of bands like Immolation, Deicide, and Vital Remains, Flesh for the Beast have unleashed a towering set of war anthems ... Self-immolation was the way to go, and everything else was hypocrisy and selling out. You get wiser as you get older, and I certainly am very thankful for "Sandinista!" in particular. It's amazingly relevant music. At the same time, at some point ... In 2004, after a Nativity scene arranged by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7706 in Barrington was repeatedly vandalized, including thefts of the baby Jesus and the immolation of the entire set, the display was encased in Plexiglas and monitored ... ... quick other shoe dropping, and that's just what happened. Having come up short in their attempts to legislate Cape Wind to its demise, wind farm opponents will now try to regulate it to death instead. And when that fails, what next, self-immolation ... wrecking the mayor's residence in search of a leak, treasure hunters who inspire a police station bombing, stagehands who get stuck in a dragon costume, and apprentice magicians whose attempts at wizardry lead them to the edge of self-immolation ...

No Weigh : With Mike Huckabee suddenly a serious threat to win the Republican nomination, it's time to ask a pressing question: Do we really want another president whose biggest fear is getting fat?
