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 [...]

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 [...]

When we meet him, the Force does not always do his bidding. “Because he is so uncertain of his ... ... Fanboys," which was to open today, has gone back to the editing table to remove a gloomy subplot involving a guy with cancer and focus more on the title characters' quest to steal an early copy of "The Phantom Menace" from George Lucas' Skywalker ... It's sort of like a 'Star Wars' story that ends up with Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia marrying each other."

Remember the scene in “The Empire Strikes Back” when Luke Skywalker ventured into the Dark Side Cave on Dagobah, encountered Vader, decapitated him in a light saber fight and then found his own visage contained in the helmet? It was a lesson ... Luke Skywalker's tendancy to get badly beaten up and nearly fall in love? The weary Imperial captain at the furthest outpost of the Empire? The Wedge Antilles plotline that disappears after the opening chapters? Or the geriatric libertarian ... It combines the movie and extras, a T-shirt, an art booklet and one set of 3-D glasses to view the exclusive stereoscopic version of Blue Harvest's 66-second aerial dogfight. You sit with Peter Griffin, as Han Solo, and Chris, as Luke Skywalker, as ... While the movie, directed by Doug Liman, may have taken the reality of teleportation and spiced it up quite a bit, Christensen, who gained fame and heart-throb status playing Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episodes II and II, told Computerworld that ...
