| | Derby This Is The New You CD Derby Discography of CDs
Oregon foursome Derby has all the right sounds on their debut album. The opening "Jet Set" is decorated with electric piano and Stereolab-like synth burbles under Nat Johnson's pleasantly weedy lead vocals (the Shins' James Mercer is a fair touchstone), "Qualities" has the kind of hard-candy guitar riffs that a generation of power pop bands have nicked off the Raspberries, "Sunk a Few" is an easygoing Kinks-style shuffle, and "One Reason" has a keyboard sound highly reminiscent of Venus and Mars-era Wings. But that takes the listener over a third of the way through This Is the New You with very little sense of this band's abilities beyond their admittedly fine record-collecting skills, and the rest of the disc is equally derivative. There are some catchy tunes to be had here, and it's always fun to play Spot the Influence, but unlike similar bands that can synthesize their influences into something more unique (again, the Shins come to mind, as does the Coral), Derby never quite manages to take that next step into creating something one would want to hear instead of their Raspberries, Kinks, and Wings records. ~ Stewart Mason

This Is The New You album
$15.99 The proliferation of electronica artists throughout the 1990s and 2000s may make it easy to lose sight of the genre's founding fathers, but this compilation of the Orb's BBC sessions, recorded between 1989 and 2001, will rectify that mistake. Forerunners of IDM and ambient house, the Orb's pulsating, psychedelic grooves were tremendously influential, thanks in part to the support of John Peel, who recorded several excellent sessions with the group over the years.
The two-disc set opens with the 20-minute track "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Center of the Underworld (Loving You)" is a highlight, but classics ...
| | Beatles - A Hard Day's Night DVDs (1964)
This Is The New You CD music
$10.49 A HARD DAY'S NIGHT presents a fictionalized day in the life of the Beatles as they give a performance on a live television show. Filmed just a month after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, this film--the Beatles' first--introduces us to the unique personalities of each member of the band. The film opens with the Fab Four boarding a train mobbed with adoring young fans (mostly women) as they attempt to travel to the television studio in London. The antics of the band during rehearsals and makeup application provide a large part of the comic material in this feature, though there are ...
| | Tom Waits Glitter And Doom Live CDs (2009) Digipak
This Is The New You music CDs
$14.38 Glitter and Doom Live, a double-disc set, marks Tom Waits' third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The first, Nighthawks at the Diner issued in 1975 on Asylum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The second was Big Time, released during his tenure at Island in 1986. The musical performances on disc one of Glitter and Doom Live were culled from Waits' historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the set himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The material leans, understandably, on his recordings with the Anti label. There are stellar performances here, such as "Get Behind the Mule" from The Mule Variations, "Trampled Rose" from Real Gone, and a haunting version of Leadbelly's "Fannin Street" from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, to mention just three of the 17 cuts here. But he goes back to his Island albums too. For instance, there are completely re-visioned readings of "Lucky Day" and "I'll Shoot the Moon" from 1993's Black Rider, and a killer -- though equally revamped -- version of "Singapore" from 1985's Rain Dogs. Musically, the performances are flawless, as is the sound on this ...
| | Sting If On A Winter's Night... CDs (2009) Digipak
This Is The New You songs
$14.19 It's no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it's only logical that his holiday album -- his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters -- is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. It is music made by someone who lives in a castle, which isn't necessarily such a bad thing: the austerity is genuine, not affected, and the cerebral nature of the album is fascinating, albeit mildly so, as this is as sleepy as it is thoughtful. And it's that thoughtfulness that does distinguish IF ON A ...

This Is The New You album
$39.39 Since circa 1976, the Australian-via-U.K. band the Go-Betweens have been crafting literate, witty, moody, and catchy guitar-driven indie pop-rock (occasionally recalling the best of Lou Reed and Elvis Costello). The excellent BRIGHT YELLOW BRIGHT ORANGE is from 2000, shortly after the band regrouped a couple of years previously.
Japanese edition with two bonus tracks ("Unfinished Business," "Girl Laying On The Beach").
Proof that the Go-Betweens' 2000 reunion album, THE FRIENDS OF RACHEL WORTH, was no fluke, BRIGHT YELLOW, BRIGHT ORANGE finds Robert Forster and Grant McLennan presenting a charming set that largely consists of laid-back, acoustic-oriented tunes. While the previous outing featured the revered Australian duo backed by members of Sleater-Kinney, this record sees the ...
