Vitamin C is Colleen Fitzpatrick, formerly of New York City's Eve's Plum. Her self-titled debut album finds the singer leaving the alt-rock stylings of her former band far behind in favor of a more urban, forward-looking sound.
The opening track, "Smile," employs the kind of Caucasian dance-hall rap style that made Barenaked Ladies famous, while "Unhappy Anniversary" is straightforward folk-pop, complete with jangling acoustic guitar and wistful vocals. "Me, Myself and I" cleverly interpolates the chorus from Santana's "No One to Depend On" in an arrangement that wouldn't sound out of place on a Smash Mouth album. Fitzpatrick makes good use of sunny pop melodies mixed with lazy hip-hop rhythms and state-of-the-art production touches throughout. And how could you not like a 1999 album that includes a cover of Split Enz' "I Got You"?

Hey, I bought this review on a whim. I read a positively GLOWING review about it in my magazine of choice, Entertainment Weekly and decided it sounded a heckuva lot better than the adjacently reviewed Puff Daddy album. So, I went, I bought, I listened. I actually found myself liking it's blissful simplicity, although this tart in a leotard is no Aretha Franklin. Her voice is actually kind of thin, but I really wasn't distracted. I loved "Smile", one of the best songs on the album, a charming confection that suceeds on urging the listener to dance to it. "Turn Me On" was fine, "Unhappy Anniversary" had incredible potential that it didn't live up to, and the Epic "Graduation (friends forever)" was a soaring ballad that I loved.
It had it's downsides, like the boring, stupid "Girls Against Boys", or the wannabeish "Do What You Want To Do", which I was actually suspecting to be a Beatles cover. Most of those songs borrowed bits and pieces from other people's far superior work, and does little justice. But the songs that I truly enjoyed had me humming them incoherently all day. In summary, if you want a great piece of music history, purchase something by Tori Amos. If you want something idle, sweet, enjoyable and easy to swallow, buy Vitamin C.

Seattle band Mountain Con's third album is a whirlwind tour through rock trends of the previous three decades, with musical nods given to bands like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges as well as the Beastie Boys, all set against a variety of hip-hop rhythms. "To Infinity" uses the riff from the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" as a template for its sonic explorations, while the Velvets-inspired "The Escape Artist" propels the band into garage punk territory.
â€Ĺ"Always one of the most likely bands to be the next â€Ĺ"it” from Seattle. If this record doesn’t do it, there is something wrong with this world.” â€" John Richards, KEXP 90. 3FMMountain Con is a poster child for the current cataclysmic upheaval underway in the music industry. Here is a band that, on their newest album Sancho Panza, record themselves, produce themselves, mix themselves and promote themselves. Like many groups these days (such as The Arctic Monkeys and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) Mountain Con aren't waiting around for the music business to get over its identity crisis--they are taking matters into their own hands. It was a hard fought battle to get to the position of artistic autonomy they find themselves in now. There were big time LA producers, hot up-and-coming labels and a publishing deal with one of the ...

The band look magnificent on the cover as they pose with make-up or heavily retouched faces. They look confident, knowing that their follow-up is almost as good as the debut. Chrissie and Ray Davies were stepping out at this time, hence the opening track, "The Adultress," as Hynde whispers her confession over a furious wall of sound, to be immediately followed by her reminder that "Bad Boys Get Spanked." If only Chrissie, if only. The album drives and dives, pausing for "I Go To Sleep," another old Ray Davies song. There is not a bad track in sight.
The Pretenders' second album received a much-deserved upgrade in the fall of 2006, as Rhino reissued it as a double-disc set containing a remastered ...
