CD Reviews
 | Jennifer O'Connor - Here With Me | | 3:25pm Tue 26 Aug 08 | | Here With me is a whole lot happier than her 2006 album, Over the Mountain, Across the Valley and Back to the Stars, (with part of the reason being her new relationship, evident on the cover). |
 | The Stills - Oceans Will Rise | | 3:19pm Tue 26 Aug 08 | | When The Stills appeared, with 2003's Logic Will Break Your Heart, they seemed destined for greatness. |
 | The Uglysuit - The Uglysuit | | 3:08pm Tue 26 Aug 08 | | This is just fantastic. The kind of summery pop that The Thrills or Teenage Fanclub made, but with a delicious, almost Scandinavian, indie edge... |
 | Richard Swift - Ground Trouble Jaw | | 10:39am Tue 26 Aug 08 | | Richard Swift has always been tremendously intriguing, and never more so that on this EP (which is available for free download from several
websites). |
 | Jason and the Scorchers - EMI Years | | 10:08am Tue 26 Aug 08 | | So many bands, so many great EMI years... Jason and the Scorchers were pioneers of country punk, a style of music that preceded the wild-eyed hick
country punk of these days, with a delicious restraint and rock sensibility. |
 | Steve Morse - Live in Conneticut | | 9:57am Tue 26 Aug 08 | | Steve Morse may be one of the best musicians you've not heard of. An indescribably gifted guitarist, he has led Deep Purple and Kansas, although his playing with Dixie Dregs remains his seminal work. |
 | Matthew Sweet - Sunshine Lies | | 4:39pm Mon 11 Aug 08 | | This is Matthew Sweet's 10th studio album, and it is some measure of his desire to keep his normal magnetic attraction for a pop melody from dragging
him to the mainstream, that it is only really his third, Girlfriend, that has enjoyed significant success. |
 | Dr Dog - Fate | | 9:38am Mon 28 Jul 08 | | Dr Dog were one of the original loose-limbed folky Beach Boys fan bands - the odder, later Beach Boys, rather than the poppier, fun one that made the great singles. |
 | Smoking Popes - Stay Down | | 10:15am Mon 21 Jul 08 | | Smoking Popes are a pop punk band from Chicago, whose song Need You Around was the standout on the Clueless soundtrack, and made them huge for a while. |
 | John Mellencamp - Life, Death, Love and Freedom | | 10:00am Mon 21 Jul 08 | | John Mellencamp has struggled to match his 82-91 golden period - there have been odd songs on albums since then that have sparked some interest, but the passion and fire, and the great songs, that characterised his early work
have largely been missing. |
