| | Tribute To Yeah Yeah Yeahs CD
Big Eye hired a bundle of New York area hopefuls for this Yeah Yeah Yeahs tribute. This is better than the company's usual tack of letting studio types tumble lamely through the material; however, some of the stylistic choices are a little off. A tribute to Karen O's crew is suspect anyway, given the band's short shelf life. Nevertheless, here it is. Undermine X obliterates the inky sheen and curiously strong emotions of "Maps," twisting it into generically jocular alt metal. High Tigers do a better job with "Our Time," respecting the original's dynamics but giving it a slight punk/emo spin, and while the New York No Stars' Meghan White sounds remarkably like O, she and her band somehow turn "Y Control" into No Doubt while still staying close to the original. You have to hear it to believe it. Tribute to Yeah Yeah Yeahs shifts gears in its second half. The "Roots of" portion includes what seems to be a live version of Nico's "All Tomorrow's Parties," as well as two relics of the '80s L.A. death rock scene in .45 Grave and Super Heroines. (Clarifying the misleading liner note upsell, the latter's connection to Hole comes via Heroines bassist Jill Emery. In other words, there's no real connection to this comp.) Ultimately, Tribute to Yeah Yeah Yeahs is probably of worth more to fans of the groups involved than the one being feted. ~ Johnny Loftus

Tribute To Yeah Yeah Yeahs album
 $19.98  
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc box set running 48 tracks, which is eight cuts longer than Springsteen's box, plenty long enough for most fans, but in its deluxe version, available only through Best Buy, there's an additional CD, plus two previously unreleased DVDs -- a 1978 New Years Eve concert from Santa Monica, a documentary called 400 Days shot during the Wildflowers tour -- a Blu-Ray edition of all 62 ...
| | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Tribute To Yeah Yeah Yeahs CD music
$11.17   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk of Battle Studies upon them: the elegant "Half of My Heart," the softly soulful "Perfectly ...
