Minus 5 I Don't Know Who I Am CD (2003) Let The War Against Music

Joe Maynard's Favorites album

$13.85

Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and more experimental, as evidenced by the set launcher, "There Is No Music." Meshing a slide guitar with a brooding lo-fi feel, the song's alt-country leanings uneasily shift into the electronic-tinged "Myrna Loy." While there are contagious moments like "Rooting for the Plague" and the profane singalong "I Don't Want to Fuck Off Anymore," tunes like the heady "Disaster Nurse Fang" and "Dear Employer" (which is recycled but drastically stripped-down from its appearance on 2003's Down With Wilco and again boasts Jeff Tweedy) are as off-kilter as these alternative pop luminaries are likely to get. I Don't Know Who I Am may not be the Minus 5 disc fans rely on most of the time, ...

Erase Errata At Crystal Palace CD (2003)

Joe Maynard's Favorites CD music

$11.39

Erase Errata's second album, At Crystal Palace, continues the band's ongoing flirtations with order and chaos, ping-ponging between the two with such ease that it's clear that even their most disjointed moments are under their control. Songs such as "Driving Test" and "Go to Sleep" are as angular and tense as ever -- the way Jenny Hoyston snarls "Go to sleep!" on the latter ensures a string of nights spent with eyes wide open -- but every now and then the band lets down its avant-garde and allows some melodic, and even poppy, moments to exist within its formidably sharp music. "Ca. Viewing" is one of Erase Errata's most accessible songs, at once prickly and playful. Meanwhile, "Let's Be Active c/o Club Hott" and "Surprize It's Easter" are both slightly more melodic than their earlier work; Hoyston's vocals come closer to honest-to-goodness singing than they have before, even though both songs feature strange breakdowns where most bands would put choruses. Hoyston's paranoid, soulful wailing on "Matter No Medley" marks a further expansion of the band's sound; she remains one of the most distinctive voices in underground ...

Lucinda Williams Live @ The Fillmore West CDs (2005) Digipak

Joe Maynard's Favorites music CDs

$15.09

Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their ...

Trembling Blue Stars Seven Autumn Flowers CD (2004) Bonus Tracks

Joe Maynard's Favorites songs

$13.89

The Trembling Blue Stars' fifth album, Seven Autumn Flowers, is no great departure for the group; it is another chapter in the story that began way back in the '80s with the Field Mice. If you've stuck with them this far, you won't find anything here to make you walk away now. The core elements of the group (Bob Wratten's bittersweet vocals, near suicidal lyrics, the minor chords, sweeping synths, gently strummed acoustic guitars, and sweet female backing vocals) are firmly in place. In fact, much of the record falls into the same trap their last couple have, that of being too familiar and predictable. Songs like "All I'm Doing Is Losing," "Last Port of Call," (the admittedly quite good) "Sorrow Has a Way," and "Kensington Garden," while as well-constructed, heartfelt, and melodic as they may be, feel like they could have been written (and played) in Wratten's sleep. What saves the record are the handful of songs that break out of the constraints of even-keeled melancholy and take (small) chances: chances like the gentle reggae pulse of "The Rhythm of Your Breathing," the almost danceable beat of "The Sea Is So Quiet," the lilting near-country feel of "Last Port of Call," and best of all, the Beth Arzy-sung "Helen Reddy," which literally jumps out of the speakers with joy and ...

Black Mountain CD (2005)

Joe Maynard's Favorites album

$12.49

While the divide between stoner metal and indie rock had been eroding for some time by 2005, this debut by Black Mountain evaporated any such distinctions entirely. By packing allusions to the Velvet Underground, David Bowie, and Roxy Music in the same bowl with Sabbath and Pentagram, BLACK MOUNTAIN simultaneously reinvigorated a tired catalog of riffs and ripped the lid off a vibrant ...

Orange Juice Glasgow School CD (2005)

Joe Maynard's Favorites CD music

$13.45

Includes singles, the aborted album OSTRICH CHURCHYARD, and previously unreleased tracks. Orange Juice's three albums, along with compilations of various shapes and sizes, have floated in and out of print throughout the years. This hasn't made it convenient for anyone curious about the band, whether the interest was sparked by Haircut 100, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Belle & Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand, the unlikely mainstream success of Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You," the history of post-punk, or the birth of indie pop. The Glasgow School, released in 2005 by Domino, contains the band's four singles for Postcard, the bulk of Ostrich Churchyard (a disc released ...
