On the five-song Metarie EP, Michigan-based pop maestro Brendan Benson tackles what is seemingly one of his favorite songs, "Metarie," twice. The first version of the song serves as an introduction to Benson's new band, the Wellfed Boys. On his last album (apart from some help from like-minded power popper Jason Falkner) Benson was for the most part a one-man band; now for whatever reason, he has decided to share the billing and give up some control of his well-scrubbed and ultra poppy sound. From the sound of it, he picked his crew very well, because the version of Metarie here sounds quite similar to the version found on his last album. Maybe a touch more rock-band sounding, but not to a fault. They also appear twice more on the disc, on an energy-packed version of "You're Quiet" and a ripping and faithful cover of Paul McCartney's "Let Me Roll." The other two tracks on the EP are an acoustic-based mellow and dreamy version of "Meterie" featuring female background vocals and a throwaway track by Benson himself, "Alternative to Love." The Metarie EP is a must for Benson fans, as the song "Meterie" does justify the attention Benson pays it, and it's a relief to hear that his new band hasn't ruined Benson or homogenized him. In fact, the Wellfed Boys sound perfectly suited to his sound. ~ Tim Sendra

| | Minus 5 Down With Wilco CD (2003)
Metarie
$13.69
Since its formation, the Minus 5 has been a supergroup of sorts, led by Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows/R.E.M. sideman) and Peter Buck (R.E.M.). As the title would suggest, they are joined this time around by all four members of Wilco, the group responsible for the most talked-about recording of both 2001 and 2002 (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot). Down with Wilco was to be released by a major label until it suffered the same fate as YHF, when it was suddenly shelved. Like that album, it deserved better and was eventually emancipated by the indie Yep Roc in 2003. While Down with Wilco doesn't match the quality of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (a difficult task, as this is one of the best releases of the early 21st century), ...
| | New Pornographers Electric Version CD (2003)
Metarie
$10.15 
With alt-country chanteuse Neko Case periodically joining forces with members of Zumpano and Destroyer, the New Pornographers ply their trade as a sort of indie-rock supergroup. Their sophomore album ELECTRIC VERSION finds the sextet, (septet if you count secret member Dan Bejar), roaming the sunny slopes of power-popdom using chiming harmonies, cheesy keyboards, and punchy guitars as their guideposts. Jittery synths and hooting background vocals make "Chump Change" very Redd Kross-like, power ...

Metarie
$11.49
Fountains Of Wayne was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "Stacy's Mom" was nominated for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Following a four-year hiatus that found Fountains of Wayne going from Atlantic Records to S-Curve Records, New Jersey's favorite power-pop outfit delivers WELCOME INTERSTATE MANAGERS, the band's third opus. FOW does an excellent job of capturing the suburban zeitgeist that dates back to the band's name (derived ...
| | Mates Of State Team Boo CD (2003)
Metarie
$10.15
Mates of State are the husband-wife duo of Kori Gardner on keys of various types and Jason Hammel on drums and occasional keys as well. They both sing with innocent gusto, and their charming voices remind one of wonderful indie pop bands like Papas Fritas and Butterglory in the way they intertwine and twist with naďve fervor. They sound like real people singing about real things, and that is kind of exciting. And they don't use guitars of any kind. And you don't miss them either! Team Boo is the band's fullest sounding, most energy-filled record yet. The duo called in Jim Eno of Spoon and John Croslin, who has worked with Spoon also as well as Beulah and the Mates on their first disc, to produce. Together they ...

Metarie
$11.39
So, like all of Paul Westerberg's loyal fans, you've been dreaming of the day that the great cranky genius of slop-rock would record a blues album, right? OK, probably not, but Westerberg went and did it anyway (under the guise of his alter ego, Grandpaboy), ...

| | U2 Achtung Baby CD (1991)
Metarie
$10.45 
In 1991, U2 shocked the pop-music world with ACHTUNG BABY, a striking departure from the Irish band's beloved '80s arena-rock sound. Here the group careens into sonically adventurous territory, reveling in distorted guitars, drum loops, and layers of synthesizers.
The stunning opening track, "Zoo Station," kicks in with fierce, fuzzed-out guitar and a clanging industrial beat, Bono's distinctive voice the only tell-tale sign that this is indeed a U2 album. From here, ACHTUNG BABY deftly maneuvers between giddy electro-pop (the shimmering "Even Better Than the Real Thing," the funky "Mysterious Ways"), bold techno-tinged rock (the majestic punch of ...
| | Beau Brummels Triangle CD (1967)
Metarie
$11.59
The jewel in the Beau Brummels' crown, Triangle was an unexpected departure from the band's earlier hit-making formula -- and demonstrated Ron Elliott's growing maturation as a songwriter. All the band's signature styles (folk, country swing, and Brit-pop) are still heard in the mix, but the tunes here assume an added aura of mysticism. Buried commercially by the likes of Sgt. Pepper, Triangle shared its premise of ...

| | Fotomaker Vis-A-Vis CD (1978) Reissued
Metarie
$9.69
Vis-ŕ-Vis has immediate and satisfying jangle pop sensations in "Miles Away," the revved-up "Dear Prudence"-inspired "Snowblind," and the exquisitely son-of-Raspberries "Just for You." For all the extraordinary good points this album contains -- and there are many -- the band just misses the mark by not thinking in terms of a number one smash. Take "Name of the Game," a song title that ABBA utilized more efficiently, as just one example. Cars drummer David Robinson referred to Björn ...

With every track, I was thinking "this is my favorite one so far" and the next one was just as brilliant. I think all in all, my most favorite piece is Claudanza, it was so exciting and I was almost breathless waiting to hear what would happen next. My second favorite piece was the Ballad of the Peaceful Warrior. And of course, the title track, Liminality, it was overwhelmingly peaceful and kind and exhuberant and brilliant. Lullaby for Anais was completely wonderful. Oh I just loved them all.” JM“Your music is especially peaceful and relaxing yet gives a powerful sense of being and oneness that fills not only the heart but the environment.
