“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 [...]

Lemongrass
Nestled in a small building next to the library, the "bros" are open till 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Their tom kha soup has a rich broth exploding with lemongrass and coconut milk. It’s warm, medicinal, and just the way Mother would have made ... Select A Recipe 792: Crawfish & Shrimp Etouffee 791: Café Au Lait Pain Perdu (Baked French Toast) 790: Baked Trout with Shiitake Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Ginger 789: Tuna Kebabs with Ginger-Chile Marinade 788: Roasted Halibut with Walnut Crust 787 ... In this respect, the menu is quite clever - for every bowl of surprisingly good clam chowder (not too thick, with plenty of potatoes, clams, and pepper), there's a spicy lobster soup with coconut, lemongrass, and ginger; for every piece of steak ... Weiswasser, a Gladwyne native whose resume includes Restaurant Daniel and Gilt in New York, will marry the julienne fruit with tuna, lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar and lime in a signature dish at Pearl, a Pan-Asian fusion restaurant opening at 1904 ... 1 tbsp. diced lemongrass • 1 tbsp. low-sodium tamari • 1 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar • 1 tbsp. lemon juice • 1 tsp. wasabi (Japanese horseradish) For chicken gyoza: • 1 sliced chicken breast, boned, skinned and defatted • 1 tbsp. ginger ... Try the incendiary lemongrass hot and sour soup, rife with shrimp and scallops. The imaginative heart-shaped "Valentine" roll showcases the skill of the sushi team. Almarco , 13 Wall St., Huntington, 631-935-1690. Chef Joseph Orlando transformed what ... The salmon ($5) sounds enticing, topped with a lemongrass slaw and soy-ginger vinaigrette, but the big whiff of fish right before I took a bite was a big turnoff. It just didn't seem fresh. Five vegetarian salads ($8 each) round out the entrees on the ... Make sure not to miss any of their best sellers such as the foie gras inasal (P995), velvety goose liver in ginger lemongrass sauce; pork belly binagoongan (P320), bagoong-crusted braised pork belly served with tomato sauce; kinilaw sampler (P480 ... For a frozen, low-calorie dinner, we were very impressed with Lean Cuisine’s Lemongrass Chicken. It was flavorful, light and tangy and has become a staple in many of our freezers since the tasting. “If I have to bring a frozen dinner for ... And finally, the fennel and lemongrass didn't add value to the dish for me. I drowned my slight disappointment with a glass of white Burgundy. The fish course was an incongruous pairing of black cod, creamed spinach, oxtails and wild burgundy snails ...
