New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War
Erykah Badu
Motown, 2008
One of her best IF you can overstand Baduism!
+ Mystic Brew of Amerykahs Funky Junk
+ Ms.Badu
This won't be played much on the radio. Very 'conscious' and meta-science oriented; everything has several hidden and obvious meanings and msgs and so very Badu. This to me is more like her first album. This is for the 'third eye' children. This is food for your cypher.

A Stompin' Good Time
The Alan Freed Rock 'N' Roll Big Band
Ace Records UK, 2008
Not Theme Time...but the next best thing
+ Faith Restoration or How I Learned To Cry Again
So much about what I have come to love about music is falling away - "albums" are being replaced by singles downloaded from cyberspace, music magazines (so long No Depression) are shuttering their doors due to lack of ad revenue, and great record stores are closing by the dozen. Into these ...

'78
China Forbes
Heinz Records, 2008
The Voice of Pink Martini Has Her Own Voice
And what a voice it is. Don't expect this to be a fourth Pink Martini CD, but don't let that stop you. Listen for China, not PM, and you will be pleasantly surprised. She has a hauntingly beautiful voice. I have listened to the CD a dozen times or more now and just got back from her solo ...

Trinity Revisited [CD/DVD]
Cowboy Junkies
Zoe Records, 2008
could it be even better than the original?
+ Trinity revisited
+ Addicted to Cowboy Junkies
Everyone has a copy of Trinity, as well they should. When I saw that the Junkies were going to re-record it, I was more than a bit apprehensive. My most recent experiences with an artist revisiting their old work, such as Tori Amos's re-working of several songs for her retrospective "Tales of a ...

Don't Stop the Music
Rihanna
Umvd Import, 2008
Awesome Dance Song
+ AWESOME NEW TALENT !!!
+ Hot single and remix!
I heard this song on the radio last week and loved it. I liked "Umbrella" and "Shut Up and Drive", but "Don't Stop the Music" got me to buy the CD. It's the best dance song that I've heard in a long while. Even the sampled Michael Jackson didn't ruin it for me (and I really hated the "Ma ma se, ...

The Darjeeling Limited
Jason Schwartzman, Natalie Portman
20th Century Fox, 2008
Not for everyone
This is one of those movies you either love or you hate. I like it, but I am not suprised that it has drawn some very negative reviews. It's not for everyone.

Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical Show
Original Cast
Time Life Entertainment, 2008
A superb compilation musical
+ Good cast
This must surely rank as one of the very best compilation musicals for many a long year. The Richard Maltby Jr.'s realisation is a joy to listen to; the performers are a joy to listen to and, of course, the music made famous by the Man in Black himself is a joy to listen to. I believe it is a ...
