“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 [...]

Spock
They aren’t always what we wished for (“Alvinnnnn!”) but sometimes they’re better than we expected (“Rocky VI”). For 2008, fans are anxiously awaiting the return of Spock (Christmas), Indiana Jones (May) and the “Sex and the City ... Benjamin Spock. Not the current version, but the 1968 one, the edition my parents had used. It arrived in a regular shipping envelope, a squat Pocket Books paperback. And where the other books would expose us to the conflict and confusion of ... James Kirk, Vulcan scientist Spock and the other characters from the original 1960s series.

I fear I've made this sound more ... Joyce Dales' unabashed geek roots go back decades. "I tried to run for student council under the platform that Spock endorsed me," she said. "I obviously didn't win." Now, Dales, 35, who lives part of the year in Nottingham and the rest in Florida ... Remember the mirror universe in Star Trek? Good people turned bad and everything was upside down. Mr. Spock even had a goatee and was very bad. That's what Week 17 in the NFL is like: a mirror universe where nothing makes sense. How can Tennessee be ... Should Ralph Nader (96) and Benjamin Spock (87) be on the list while John F. Kennedy is not? To Americans over the age of 50, that might be the biggest shock.
