| | Sleater-Kinney Woods CD - Import Sleater-Kinney Discography of CDs
The remarkable ONE BEAT seemed to be the culmination of Sleater-Kinney's transformation from three-minute-song riot grrls to post-punk artisans, as the WA trio delivered gloriously wandering, lop-sided compositions reminiscent of the Fall, adorned by thoughtful, willfully obtuse lyrics. However, THE WOODS proves its predecessor to be merely another step, with Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, and Corin Tucker mixing indie rock, punk, arena rock, folk, and even progressive rock into a potent concoction.
Helmed by revered producer Dave Fridmann, THE WOODS opens with "The Fox," a hard-driving, distorted, and sinisterly fun story about forest creatures. The song is as unpredictable as anything that follows; the early S-K punk of "Wilderness" gives way to the barroom rock of "What's Mine Is Yours," which, in turn, steps aside for the art-pop of "Jumpers" and the fuzzy folk of "Modern Girl." The album culminates in "Let's Call It Love," an 11-minute jam that's equal parts Iggy Pop, Fugazi, and Heart. Once again Sleater-Kinney has upped its own musical ante, making THE WOODS an amazingly captivating album.

Woods album
 $9.58  
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, delivering more of the same of what she did in her moment in the sun on television. Those ...

Like the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL franchise, GLEE became more than a TV show when several of its songs cracked the Hot 100, including the number four hit "Don't Stop Believing." That song kicks off this soundtrack, the first in a series of albums cataloging the music performed by the show's cast. ...
| | Nirvana Bleach CD (1989) Deluxe; Deluxe Edition
Woods album
$12.78
With a sludgy, chainsaw guitar sound that owes as much to early Black Sabbath as to Kurt Cobain's heroes The Melvins, whose drummer puts in an appearance here, Nirvana emerges from Seattle's underground scene as standard-bearers of a style that embraces the anger and energy of punk alongside the thick, muddy sonic attack favored by early '70s proto-metal bands. Cobain's lyrics are fueled by outrage and self-loathing, combining literary flair with a direct, visceral quality that makes him a viable candidate for the John-Lennon-of-Gen X award.
Nirvana's debut album showcases what sounds more like a force of nature than a rock band. The unrelenting fervor with which the group delivers these 13 tunes is almost frightening. There is also a strong melodic flair that leavens the ferocity occasionally, hinting at the scope of Cobain's compositional talents. "Love Buzz" and "About A Girl" show off enough pop smarts to make it clear that as strong as BLEACH is, Cobain's ...

You may have seen him ripping stages and audiences alike with his stellar performances in New York City at the legendary Club Exit, opening for artists such as Cam'ron and the Dip Set, Lumidee, and P. Diddy's Da Band; or on a recent College Tour sharing the stage with established artists such as Eclipse, Rah Digga, and Jae Millz. An emerging artist out of Brooklyn's Canarsie Region, Troublesum has gained a reputation as one of music's most promising and prolific acts with an uncanny ability to compose, collaborate, and improvise giving him an edge that is second to none. An example for many other artists, Troublesum graces the stage with an unbeknownst and boundless energy, a level of confidence demanding that the audience feel his presence. As an Artist on the rise audiences are bound to feel the intensity and passion this artist presents. With a mystic-like presence, similar to that of the late Bob Marley, He captivates the hearts and attention of audiences the minute he steps on the stage. With the mannerisms and stage presence of a natural born performer; expressing a supreme comfort with the stage, stimulating the audience as he creates an experience unmatched by anyone in his class.Appearing on the scene in the summer of 2004 with the release and performance of his underground hit single "Nine Inch," Troublesum left females from all walks of life in suspense gossiping amongst themselves asking two questions; who is he and is it really nine inches? Although up until now you probably have never been blessed to have heard of Troublesum, be rest assured in knowing that he has been performing as a solo artist since April of 1998 after opening at the world-famous Q-Club for the renowned international Reggae super star Sanchez.Troublesum, also known as Devon Smith, was born in the parish of Hanover, Jamaica W.I. He was inspired at a very early age by some of reggae music's greatest talents; Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailers to name a few. By the age of six, he was already singing some of the most popular songs being played on the local radio stations in Jamaica word verbatim. But life has never been easy for this young artist. It was in his times of greatest despair that music has become the essence and source of his inspiration. At the age of three, he was separated from his mother as she went to the United States hoping to provide a sound future for her children. Shortly after, at the age of 5, tragedy struck. ...
