.Fleet Foxes
City Travel Guides > Music > Music
by: Fleet Foxes

June 03, 2008
Fleet Foxes may have a firm grasp on rock and folk history, but they never play to their record collection. Rather than revive a particular scene or re-create a lost sound, the Seattle quintet cherrypick their ideas from a broad spectrum of styles, pulling in Appalachian folk, classic rock, AM country, and SoCal pop to create a personal synthesis of the music of their peers, their parents, and even their grandparents.

The band didn't leave town to record Fleet Foxes, yet it sounds like it could have been recorded anywhere in the United States-- Austin, Minneapolis, Chicago, Brooklyn, Louisville, or more likely some clearing in the woods. That placelessness constitutes an active effacement, considering that Seattle has been a locus ... Read More:

.The Best of Radiohead

... beautiful, at times brilliant, but out of their brilliant contexts, very lacking...

Radiohead is a "disc" band, if there was every one (just like, say Pink Floyd) so a "Best of" package is way off the mark... Clearly only for casual fans -- but even for them I BY FAR would first recommend their very accessible "The Bends"...
Cheers.

.Keep It Simple
City Travel Guides > Music > Music
by: Van Morrison

April 01, 2008
The ever-enduring crooner returns with a collection of stripped-back, simple songs diverging how it feels to be reaching the twilight of life. Yet Van Morrison keeps all the controlled energy of someone who still has something to pass on to the world.
"Keep It Simple" is a mainly bluesy affair. He's returned to the usual mixture of autobiographical fare and the kind of mix of jazz, folk, blues, country and soul that may be chock-full of lyrical cliche but is always lifted by a voice that really hasn't deteriorated much in the last twenty years. Let's face it: the blues wouldn't be the blues without it's lyrical template. It's the way it's sung that matters, and Van is still peerless in this respect.
Husky, slurred, simple yet honest, the ... Read More:

.Rock N Roll Jesus

by: Kid Rock

October 09, 2007
You know how some girls like the bad boy types? Well this little nugget appeals to all types of girls & boys alike! I haven't been a HUGE fan of KID ROCK's but when I heard AMEN on the radio, I was intrigued. I also had heard "TOO HOT" which makes you curious....After getting the CD, I love to play it over & over. It's a very diverse mix of good/bad & dirty! LOVE IT! I think my favorite at this moment is "NEW ORLEANS". Play it loud!

.Love On The Inside (Dlx Fan Ed)

by: Sugarland

July 22, 2008
This is by far the best Sugarland CD ever. It's over an hour long, but everything on the CD is well worth the listen and well worth the money. Go out and buy it and you won't be disappointed.

.Celtic Thunder (1 Bonus Track)

This is a must "hear" for everyone. The vocal talent of these men goes without saying. The songs chosen for them to perform individually are perfectly matched for their voices. A bonus, I thought, was they do not just perform Celtic songs, they cover a wide variety of music. You just have to buy the DVD to watch these men perfom the songs.

I watched this movie last night, by chance, having never heard of it before, and the one thing that really captivated me was the music. It's beautiful. Not too polished, but full of heart. I immediately went online to see if there was a soundtrack. I can't wait to go buy the cd! I recommend this to anyone who enjoys beautiful, moving music...

.Love At The End Of The World

by: Sam Roberts

May 20, 2008
As soon as I heard "Them Kids" on the radio, I knew that this album was gonna be great.. and when I bought it, I was not disappointed at all! I've been a huge Sam Roberts fan from the start, and this album is just AMAZING. I loved their previous 2 albums, and love this one just as much. It's been playing in heavy rotation, and I can listen to whole CD without skippin a track. I love the whole old school / modern sound the album has.

01. Love At The End Of The World [4.5/5]
