| | Spymob Sitting Around Keeping Score CD Spymob Discography of CDs
John Ostby (vocals, piano); Brent Paschke (guitar, background vocals); Christian Twigg (bass); Eric Fawcett (drums, background vocals).
This album by the alternative-rock group Spymob includes "I Still Live at Home," "National Holidays," and "German Test Drive."
Minnesota's Spymob have been branded a funk band, based solely on their contribution to the re-recording of N.E.R.D.'s In Search Of... (the version released in the U.S. in 2002, not the drum-machine-driven version released in parts of Europe and Asia in 2001). To the surprise of those who don't know the band's past beyond that, entailing a 1996 album released on a small independent, it turns out that they have a lot more in common with Fountains of Wayne, Ben Folds Five, and forgotten hopefuls Blinker the Star than anyone remotely funky -- with Todd Rundgren and Jellyfish being clear points of influence. Sitting Around Keeping Score is accomplished modern-day power pop, heavy on melody and tight in structure. They're one of those bands that's so full of energy that even the ballads come off as relentlessly peppy. The only clear problem they have is in the way that they're perceived: N.E.R.D. fans who are attentive enough to give the band a chance might get the last thing expected, and the people who are more likely to be into the band have already dismissed them for their associations. That's shame because they deserve better than that. ~ Andy Kellman

Sitting Around Keeping Score album
 $10.09   
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply ...

$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 ...

Sitting Around Keeping Score songs
$11.18
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells and the toilet doesn't flush. "Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," she sings on the title track with no small trace of humor, and this blend of cheerful weirdness and sick beats -- often supplied by the Neptunes, delivering tough, sensual rhythms in a way they haven't in a long time, but also John Hill and Wyclef Jean ...

Sitting Around Keeping Score album
$13.75  
At times, it was hard to figure out whether Berlin were an average synth pop band trying to carve out their own niche or just a mediocre rock band jumping on the new wave bandwagon. Sure, they had some good singles and radio hits, but as an album band, they left a lot to be desired. Terri Nunn was beautiful and sexy, but it seemed like Berlin wanted to be more than just a commercial band with a hot vocalist: they seemed to be striving for greatness but settled for "that'll do." Unfortunately, they never had a chance to really prove themselves, breaking up after their commercially disappointing Count Three & Pray album, released in 1986. Nunn has kept the Berlin name alive over the years, touring with a different group of musicians and playing all the hits while releasing the occasional studio or live album. With a recorded output that seems to dwindle in quality with every release, ...
