Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)

El Toro album

$11.35

NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. Still, there's not that much new here -- and the coda of seasonal covers, including the first sober version of "Nutrocker" ever cut, doesn't do much to break that spell. But for those already enchanted by the Orchestra, this will continue to ...

Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak

El Toro CD music

$13.39

Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed it (Emilio Delgado, aka Sesame Street's Luis, duets ...

Jimmy Honeyman CD (2007)

El Toro music CDs

$16.45
JIMMY HONEYMANA brief historyJimmy Honeyman is the eponymous debut album of Jimmy Honeyman- a recording artist with a brooding nature and a dry sense of humor. While this is Jimmy’s first CD release, he is a man with a past. His musical journey began with a group called Eardamage. The original line-up of the band featured Archer Prewitt on the drums, who went on to fame with The Sea and Cake, Sof Boy Comics and The Coctails. Eardamage projected a hard driving blend of garage rock with new wave edginess, fronted by Archer’s brother, Brandt Prewitt.Jimmy and Archer went on to form the performance art duo known as The Bitters Brothers. The Bitter Brothers specialized in having a good time, deconstructing the music they loved and confusing the audience with their blend of drama, music, and comedy. Their sound was derived in equal parts from Strawberries by The Damned, Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie, and The Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. This yielded a series of recordings that remain hotly traded as bootlegs among the Prewitt fan base.Still in his teens, Jimmy fronted a trio called the Bam Bam Club. The Bam Bam Club played the club circuit of the late 80’s along with bands like The Replacements, Government Cheese, and the Afgan Whigs. This group featured Bill Lynch on the drums and Mike Feedback on the bass. Musically, they took their cues from early Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop, and Johnny Thunders.After a lengthy stint in graduate school, (“if I were a blues singer it would be my time in prison!!”), Jimmy’s next project was the pop/punk group The Jellybabies. The nucleus consisted of the players from the Bam Bam Club with the addition of Letha Hall on vocals. They were best known for the song “Spring” that appeared on the Harvest Showcase compilation CD. “Spring” was also the lead track on their full-length cassette release “12 + 1”, that featured an album cover designed by Archer Prewitt.Jimmy Honeyman represents his first solo effort. It is a collection of songs, old and new which are very personal in nature. “I wanted to do an album that was autumnal but Kentucky autumnal…warm days and cool nights….flaming colors and the creeping shadow of winter coming on…..the smell of wood burning stoves, wild horses and spilt whiskey. It’s about relationships and emotions but from the perspective of a shut in (a voluntary shut-in) a man realizing he’s no ...
