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 [...]

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 [...]

Or not, if the modern Pequots have ... 2007 was definitely a big year for babywearing, as many celebrity moms and dads opted to carry their infants and toddlers in slings, pouches and other babywearing implements instead of strollers.

Funny also how standard ULP was 9c a litre cheaper at Moby Vics on the Bruce Hwy North of the Beerwah turnoff than it was in Browns Plains. Gympie was cheaper than Brisbane as well. Posted by: Anthony of Brisbane 8:40am today Comment 3 of 17 The problem for all these candidates, however, is that once you become a front-runner, you become, by definition, somewhat conventional.
