“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 [...]

Sara Bareilles
|
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 [...]

Album: Tomorrow
His star may be waning at Tottenham, but Jermain Defoe showed against Arsenal on Wednesday night that he could sustain his profile by virtue of perhaps the single most ludicrous haircut unleashed on a football field. Recalling the infamous Mohican ... John Edwards' reaction to John Kerry's decision to endorse Barack Obama: You're so 2004. OK, so that's not what Edwards is saying exactly, but he has come about as close as he can to putting it that way without looking entirely ungrateful for the ... Traders won't have a great deal of economic releases and earnings Friday, but they will have to stay on merger watch. On Thursday, talk that Bank of America ( BAC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr ) might bid for Countrywide ( CFC - Cramer's Take ... TAIPEI (XFN-ASIA) - Share prices closed lower on caution ahead of tomorrow's parliamentary elections, with profit-taking wiping out early gains driven by a positive finish on Wall Street. Dealers also noted continuing worries over a US economic ... Orioles first baseman/designated hitter Aubrey Huff will have sports hernia surgery tomorrow and will not be able to resume baseball activities for six weeks, a club spokesman said. That should make him ready around the time the Orioles position ... That's called leadership, and it's good to see in an organization that has been adrift so long, but it sure would be nice if the Seattle Mariners decided today to overwhelm the Orioles with an offer for Erik Bedard or the Chicago Cubs decided tomorrow ... This is eighth event as a pro. "I had a rough day," Fujikawa said. "I've got to shoot a good round tomorrow to make the cut. I think I can do it. Anything is possible." The other teenager in the field, 17-year-old amateur Alex Ching, fared slightly ... So tomorrow, I will be very specific about what I hope we can do. I think we're slipping toward a recession." Both the Clinton and Obama campaigns sent in their organizations from Iowa, where Obama won and Clinton finished third. Obama, the Illinois ... I would love to have the numbers for New Hampshire Web traffic at all these sites today compared with, say, tomorrow. My guess is that the major online story from the 2008 primaries will turn out to be not viral videos, social networking or even 2004 ... My friends, the only charge that rings false is the one that tells you not to hope for a better tomorrow." In a debate in New Hampshire, the New York senator said in comparing her ability and Obama's to fulfill pledges to bring about change: "I think ...
