| | Rock'N'Roll Christmas, Vol. 2 CD (1 Customer Review)
PSM's A Rock'N'Roll Christmas, Vol. 2 is a weird collection of pop/rock, new wave, post-grunge, R&B, adult contemporary, novelty, and pop-metal Christmas tunes. There's nothing linking these songs together -- Dave Edmunds' "Run Rudolph Run" and Squeeze's "Christmas Day" are the only ones that could possibly be connected, stylistically -- but there's a kind of perverse pleasure in hearing Bryan Adams give way to Angel, then the Beach Boys and Chris de Burgh, with Local H, Bob & Doug McKenzie, Paul & Paula, and Stevie Wonder rounding out the rest of the collection. It's hard to believe any compilers would want a selection that random, and it's rather fascinating to hear the end result, especially for listeners who have off-beat tastes. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

This 75-minute album, originally a double-LP (recorded live at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on April 3, 1970) is a valiant attempt at capturing the Association's concert sound on record. Unfortunately, it fails for several reasons, beginning with the fact that the instrumental mix is very bass-heavy -- even with adjustments to compensate, this ...

Venus Hum - The Colors In The WheelWhat is a band but a relationship that has songs and sound equipment in tow? Prone to the same communication breakdowns and moodswings that affect a couple, a band, once the honeymoon phase is over, is in almost constant peril of breaking up. Just ask Venus Hum, who’ve recently trekked over a long, rocky road to deliver their stellar third album, The Colors In The Wheel.Upon the recording of their critically acclaimed 2002 major label debut, Big Beautiful Sky, the planets aligned for Tony Miracle, Kip Kubin and Annette Strean. They signed not one, but two major label deals. They toured the world, playing to hundreds of thousands of fans. They rubbed shoulders with everyone from JJ Abrams to the Blue Man Group. The whole momentum was, admits Kubin, “magical.” Then, a year into the Hum’s great adventure, things started to unravel. Mergers and misunderstandings deep-sixed their record deals. Life on the road took its toll. Worst of all, Strean found herself living in almost constant pain, with vocal nodes that threatened to end her career.“It made us almost have to quit, then start over,” says Strean. “To see what we were wanting to do with the band.”Miracle agrees. “It felt like we did have to stop for a while, and not on purpose, necessarily. But like nothing would happen. Even if we tried, we just could not get it to happen, and almost a certain amount of time had to pass. Several times during the process, I thought, “I guess this is over.” But we just had to slow down and take a break.”Kubin adds, “You have to come to grips with the larger issues of, ‘Do I want to lose my voice? Do I want to be away from my wife?’ All the harder things that you don’t really think about because this momentum is going. Once the momentum stops, you sit back and go, ‘How do we have a situation where we can protect those things we hold dear and move forward in a better way?’”In the two-year interim before they were able to answer that question, the three separated to pursue their own paths. Kubin caught the filmmaking bug, establishing himself as a director of ...
