It's Winter Here is the result of what would happen if Pedro the Lion scrapped their Christian storytelling and if Mogwai sang on more than one song per album. From their delicate vocals that front a mid- to slow-paced guitar flow, the Jim Yoshii Pile Up also feature an array of distortion that thickens their sound without overstepping the boundaries of being heavy. Not necessarily pop, but rather sentimental in that they honestly express their feelings; which, going by the droning guitars that make up a big chuck of this album, are pretty melancholy. As heard on "Breakdown Champion," "you asked me what's my greatest fear, well, honey, it's living here earning $6.50 an hour." Not very uplifting, but true for any college grad or anyone else stuck in a rut. ~ Mike DaRonco
The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up: Paul Gonzenbach (vocals, guitar); Ian Connelly, Noah Blumberg (guitar); Frankie Koeller (bass); Ryan Craven (drums); Sikwaya Condon (spiritual guidance).

It's Winter Here album
 $11.45 
Shiner's The Egg is the sound of a band stretching itself between the opposite poles of melody and complexity, accessibility and nebulousness, and coming up with something entirely original and unheard of in the process. It's a concept album in the best sense of the word: It doesn't have a cheesy central theme per se, like disillusioned robots or mythical ...

It's Winter Here CD music
$6.09
The Divine Miss M's sixth release on Atlantic, and the one right before The Rose, finds the singer reunited with producer Arif Mardin, who contributed to her self-titled second album. Despite Bette Midler being in fine voice for Thighs and Whispers, a play on the title Cries and Whispers, a 1972 offering from film director Ingmar Bergman, and outside of a terrific version of Johnny Bristol's 1974 Top Ten solo hit "Hang on in There Baby," this 1979 disc is stuck in the '70s when an artist of Midler's stature should have made a recording that was her ode to the decade of decadence. The disco beat on most of the album is an irritant years later, though, as stated, Motown producer Johnny Bristol's "Hang on tn There Baby" survives the incessant drum/high hat sound. "Big Noise From Winnetka," sadly, does not, a future anachronism Mardin avoided with former Midler backup singer Melissa Manchester when "You Should Hear How She Talks About You" added rock to the dance vibe three years later in 1982. "Millworker" and "Cradle Days" are more traditional Midler and for that reason they entertain, her strengths are formidable, and here she goes to those areas of power. Where Bette's second album had co-production from Barry Manilow and the third, Songs for the New Depression, from Mark "Moogy" Klingman, Thighs and Whispers would have benefited with more than one vision. The girl group fascination which was a wonderful point of reference for Bette, reprised somewhat on 1977's Live at Last and 1980's Divine Madness, is missing in action here, though high points like the vocal performance on "Cradle Days" work very well. The disco comes back to haunt "My Knight in Black Leather," a song that would have worked better if it had a bit of techno angst as well as more trendy S & M references. As a sappy dancefloor exercise this version should have been an outtake. And that Jerry Ragovoy co-wrote it is the real shocker -- Midler using his "Stay With Me" to wonderful effect in her film The Rose. Bette's own co-write "Hurricane" works as well as Elton John's Victim of Love failed disco experiment -- which is to say it doesn't. But

| | Gathering Accessories - Rarities & B-Sides CDs (2005)
It's Winter Here music CDs
$9.39
Dutch originals the Gathering have built a rabid following over the years, meaning there's every reason to justify a release such as 2005's Accessories: Rarities & B-Sides, which compiles a total of 27 non-album cuts from all stages of the group's remarkably consistent career. However, even the greatest of the band's B-sides, outtakes, and leftovers are still just that: secondary, possibly even substandard goods -- meaning that protracted exposure to a full two discs' worth of them could leave even the most devout followers a little disappointed. Just a warning. Now to the contents: disc one focuses on the Gathering's B-sides, including several live versions of album favorites performed both with ("Strange Machines," "Leaves") and without ("In Motion #1," "Amity," "Leaves" again) the exotic backing of a symphony orchestra; revealing, but hardly life-altering cover versions (of Dead Can Dance, Talk Talk, and Slowdive); and varying degrees of ...
