Classics album
 $11.18   
With Adam Lambert, American Idol finally got a finalist who was completely, utterly contemporary, aware of what's hip in music and culture and aware of how music is made and consumed in 2009, never seeming to try to follow fads or set trends, just embodying the time. Mercifully, he came in second to Kris Allen, for if he came in first he may have had to tame his self-styled glamazon ways. A second place finish allowed Lambert to come out of the closet and indulge in his penchant for theater on his debut, For Your Entertainment -- which isn't quite the same thing as camp, for if Adam Lambert is anything, he's earnest about his dress-up, never winking at the audience because he doesn't think there's much funny about his glitter and mascara: that's just what pop stars are supposed to do. He's learned that by listening to his stacks of Queen and Bowie records, from watching old MTV videos on YouTube, from living in a present that always competes with the ever-present past, so he takes it all at face value, mixing up arena rock guitars, new wave, disco, operatic overdubs with a constant electro pulse, glassy modern R&B, and the vague Euro strains of new millennium teen pop. All this makes For Your Entertainment very, very modern in ...

Sheb Wooley knew not what he had wrought when he did "Purple People Eater" -- it not only overwhelmed his country music career, but created a new subgenre of rock & roll: horror rock. There are a few familiar names here, including Wooley's alias Ben Colder. The central concept of the CD is that these are all rock & roll songs hooked around some horror (or horror-related) theme. Truth be told, "Monster Mash" is catchier than most of what's here, and a better fit. Much of what's here are curiosities -- rock & roll exploitation that might not do much more than go through the motions, albeit sometimes fairly well, as with Kip Tyler's brooding "She's My Witch," which might have made a good Gene Vincent number, and Billy Sills' cheerfully danceable "Night Mare." And some of it is just dumb, like "Foo Man Choo" by the Revels. Tommy King's "Bo Diddle in the Jungle" gets dangerously close to theft, borrowing liberally from "Diddley Daddy." "Monster Holiday" is a variant on "Monster Mash" credited to Lou Chaney, who is someone doing a decent impression of Lon Chaney, Jr. Colder's "Shudders and Screams" is more subtle in its humor and more of a country-style number, although it covers ...
| | Nightmares On Wax Mind Elevation CD (2002)
Classics CD music
$15.19
George Evelyn, the Nightmares on Wax producer who provided the template for 2000-2001's downbeat movement almost a decade before it became the bane of mix album fans, returned just in time with another LP of supremely chilled beats. Unfortunately, though, Mind Elevation isn't the unqualified triumph of Carboot Soul or Smoker's Delight, with Evelyn substituting a couple of vocal tracks for the trance-state trip-hop of his previous work. Admittedly, the acid jazz groover "Date with Destiny" and the breezy dub track "70s 80s" prove that Evelyn ...

| | Marilyn Martin This Is Serious CD (1988)
Classics album
$9.69
Marilyn Martin's second album, This Is Serious, found the Southern pop/rocker continuing to work with producer Jon Astley, who had done some producing on her self-titled debut album of 1986 and produced most of this LP (except for some tunes that were produced by either Terry Brown or Patrick Leonard and Michael Verdick). Martin wanted a different production style for her sophomore album, and she got it -- while her first LP had a very slick, high-tech, synthesizer-driven sound, This Is Serious favors a more organic production style than its predecessor. This Is Serious doesn't sound as programmed as Marilyn Martin, but in terms of the songs themselves, this 1988 release wasn't all that radical a departure from her first album. Martin was still a commercial, radio-friendly ...
