Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned.

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 [...]

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: Leia
After her third husband, Mike Todd, died, Taylor set her aims on Todd’s best friend, Eddie Fisher, who was married at the time to Debbie Reynolds, the dimpled girl from “Singing in the Rain” and mother of Princess Leia. Fisher divorced Reynolds ... But Philly had the middle-finger-flickin' glitter gal from Allentown, a ranting Princess Leia, codgery comic Milo Turk bleating "No Sex Allowed," and the unforgettable Pauley Nipple (real name Paul Marturano), whose "Stalker" serenade to Paula Abdul ...

Yet Dan Boucher, a spokesperson for Lord Alton, said the couple's tale might repeat itself as more people choose to conceive their children ... And Princess Leia who thought imitating a classic movie character was original? So the judges may be nicer, but the producers are going to hell. Lisa de Moraes: Hi.

There were moments of tenderness from the judges as sensitive teenagers wept in defeat and moments of rage as Star Wars fans cursed Simon from beneath their faux Princess Leia coiffures. Or their Princess Leia bikinis, as in the evening's most bizarre ... Because she could always end up like Christina, a pathetic Star Wars fan (with Princess Leia hairpieces) and self-declared “goofball” who went ballistic after the judges halted her strained performance of “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me ... Pied tamarins are the most endangered of all the Amazon primates. Primate keeper Andrew Fry rescued the babies after the mother, Leia, started to show signs of neglect and hurried the newborns to the zoo's veterinary centre, where they were placed ... For those who were among the millions who tuned in to American Idol's season debut last night, you were treated to not just one, but two references to everyone's favorite princess. First there was the dude who dropped a robe to reveal that he was ... The big star from Connecticut this year on "American Idol" may well be Christina Tolisano, 24, a self styled dork, who wore Princess Leia puffs on her hair and a Star Wars belt as she sang her way into bad audition history with a long segment on the ...
