Jukebox - Deluxe Edition

Updated Apr 17, 2008

3 people recommended this item

Description

The sound of Cat Power is both mesmerizing and seductive, "Jukebox" is a kind of sonic zone in which the fragile soul, feeds on a intersection of musical voodoo and a hart wrenching and stunning vocal style that fluctuates between pain, madness, and ecstasy.

I'm looking forward to what ever Cat Power creates in the future, personally I'd love it if Cat Power was chosen for a 007 Song, but I think it would also be lovely to hear Charlyn "Chan" Marshall sing Jazz, I feel the same way about Fiona Apple. Ok, I love how they extend jazz like vocals into the American pop, blues, country and gospel sound, but maybe one day they will do a Jazz album or two (Joni Mitchell has...).

Pop-Up ~ Yelle

Updated Apr 11, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

There is a reason I recommend so many female artist, it's because they bring a feeling to music which is of a color that male artists seldom (if not ever) attain.

In the case of Yelle and "Pop-Up" the pairing of GrandMarnier's contemporary dance production and Yelle's voice is spectacular, I'm not able to understand a word she sings (and I have to admit it's liberating not to have to enter the music through the meaning of words), and yet the sound, beat and texture of their collaboration is instantly addictive. Here's what happened to me, one moment a song from "Pop-Up" was playing in the record sore I was in, the next moment I was buying it, one moment I was driving with "Pop-Up" playing at normal volume, the next moment I had turned the volume up to the MAX!!!

What's more is here in this age of bespoke playlists where one can download just the one good song off any album, I feel "Pop-Up" is a really good album as a whole, it's well balanced between it's many moods.

For me Yelle is the missing link between Françoise Cactus of STEREO TOTAL and MIA. I do wish I did know what Yelle is singing about just in case she is the French version Kathleen Hanna or Le Tigre. (via Hear Music)

Bricolages ~ Ryuichi Sakamoto

Updated Apr 8, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I've enjoyed the evolution of Ryuichi Sakamoto's early 21st Century compositions, for me the sparse emotive keyboard and piano atmospheres created in "BTTB" and his film music provided the perfect pause my ears longed for. "Bricolages" is a collection that also brings in more percussive and active personality which has been held back from some of the recordings made in the late 90's and 00's.

"Dig, Lazarus, Dig" doesn't disappoint, all the rough and ready Cave and Bad Seed musical conniving is there, plus a extra trust of swagger for good measure. I like it.

Old Growth ~ Dead Meadow

Updated Mar 25, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Lucky for me Dead Meadow's attempt on "Old Growth" to tighten their blusedelic sound into something more straight ahead has only steered their music towards a path that illuminates their unique style within a genre that until now seemed to be mined to the bedrock.

What I'm listening to at work ^_^

If you want to be able to walk into a bar in any country in the world, order a drink, make a friend and see what happens then Not Lost in Translation is your the guide for the 21st century traveller. You'll be speaking the local lingo and the words/ phrases that they didn't teach you in school that will help you get into a club, get you a drink and get you laid. It will teach you to flirt, shop, order food and get home safely in a cab. It will also teach you how to say '@#$ off' and it will teach you to say 'I love you'- the worst thing that'll happen is you'll at least start up a conversation.

The Odd Couple: Gnarls Barkley

Updated Mar 21, 2008

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I think it's a classic, but a classic in more ways than one. "The Odd Couple" is classic because of all the hits it's crafted to produce, but also classic in how it borrows and re-imagines a previous era in pop music, this seems to be how we roll here at the beginning of the 21st Century. The 1970's is classic singer songwriter wet spot that Gnarls Barkley takes on. Soul, pop, ballad, experimental, concept, even the tittle of the album and cover are references well known pop icons of the 70's, but with a little shift in style which makes it all new. Maybe I've spent too many words getting to my point, which is, I really like the results, I imagine this album, like "Thriller" will be one of those few recording that is repackaged and re-imagined over and over and over again.

Girls Rock! The Movie

Updated Mar 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I'm one of the lucky few that have witnessed the rock girl revolution. It was in New York City a few years back and 11 bands from "Willie Mae Rock Camp" played a amazing show. Each band featured accelerating performances from girls between the ages of 9 and 18. The youngest groups were the most punk, the older groups felt fragile, shy, introspective and psychedelic in their ocean of self-awareness. The result was awe, admiration, and the humbling feeling that ones own generation was no longer relevant. That's when I realized it was time to step aside for this new wave of artists.

What I think is noteworthy is that " the Rock n Roll Camp for Girls" is not a place where girls prepare to become artists later on in life when all of their raw power has been drained by the adult world, it's a place where girls are artists in their own right, creating recording, and performing now while the rules can be reshaped by imagination, curiosity and the original sound of youth. Girls Rock!--Check it out

No Regrets ~ Marianne Faithfull

Updated Feb 21, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A compilation album of tracks recorded in Nashville. Originally released in 1977 -- these tracks originally appeared [with slight variations] on both Dreaming My Dreams and Faithless. However - No Regrets contains several tracks not previously released in the U.S. Deceptively upbeat pop songs delivered with Faithfull’s now signature ravaged vocals. These songs were Faithfull’s first after a 10 year hiatus from recording – after hard knocks and even harder living had taken a toll on her voice…and her attitude. An album of country flavored pop songs that bridge the gap between her innocent school girl pop recordings of the 60s and her absolutely jaw-dropping 1979 “come back” album – Broken English.

The Heliocentrics

Updated Feb 21, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

URB Magazine has written “Malcolm Catto’s band turns traditional funk on its head with his syncopated drums tying up ’60s psychedelia and free jazz into chaos-on-the-one.”, Me I think the music of The Heliocentrics is a perfect sound track for those learning how to ride a bicycle for the first time. And watching the old UK TV show U.F.O.

The Best of Reparata and the Delrons

Updated Feb 21, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

From ‘Captain Of Your Ship’ in the 60s to ‘Shoes’ in the 70s, Reparata & The Delrons were a very popular girl group on both sides of the Atlantic. Here are their hits and a selection of their album sides and rarities. ‘Captain Of Your Ship’ was a big hit in the UK, even though it didn’t chart in the US. The act was popular in the UK so should have strong domestic appeal. As well as the group’s recordings this CD includes Reparata’s solo outings including the 70s UK/US hit ‘Shoes’.Also includes the Northern Soul monster ‘Panic’; a massive dancefloor favourite at Wigan Casino.
