| | Louis Xiv Best Little Secrets Are Kept CD Louis Xiv Discography of CDs
Boasting the fermented wit of producer/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jason Hill and the sneering vocals of Brian Karscig, this California outfit excels at dirty, punky glam, served with no chaser. "Louis XIV" and "Finding Out True Love Is Blind" pay homage to everyone that ever sweated until their makeup ran down their face, then fell off the stage in 12-inch platform boots (Marc Bolan & T. Rex, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, et al). Most of Louis XIV's saucy debut EP, ILLEGAL TENDER, gets sewn into this long-player's silver-lame-stretched girth, as do some low-key numbers like "Ball of Twine" and "All the Little Pieces." Without a doubt, this is unfettered rock & roll perversion at its most entertaining--profane, energetic, and self-aware. THE BEST LITTLE SECRETS ARE KEPT would have been the best party record of the mid-'70s, but it showed up up three decades late, dressed to the nines, with an album cover so blatantly sexually that it's almost quaint.
This album, Best Little Secrets Are Kept, from the San-Diego based band whose rapier wit and gift for killer hooks insure their place in the hierarchy of modern rock 'n' roll includes the singles 'God Killed The Queen' & 'Finding Out True Love Is Blind' plus the previously released EP recordings 'Louis XIV' & 'Illegal Tender'. As a bonus, also included is a 7 inch with the 2 tracks 'More Than Bombs' & 'Letter To Dominique'. Atlantic. 2005.
12 tracks.Rolling Stone (p.68) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[The album] pairs the thrilling hedonism of early-Seventies T.Rex and David Bowie with caroonishly sexed-up vocals that make winking fun of glitter rock's excesses."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[They] boast a certain louche wit..."

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Best Little Secrets Are Kept CD music
$17.10  
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, with her songs mingling with those who co-opt her on the radio, she still is slightly skewed, willing to go so far over the top she goes beyond camp, yet still channeling it through songs that are written, not just hooks. The Fame Monster builds upon those strengths exhibited on The Fame, offering a credible expansion of the debut and suggesting she's not just a fleeting pop phenomenon. ...
| | Neil Young Harvest Moon Live CD (2009)
Best Little Secrets Are Kept music CDs
$14.80
Unlike previous entries in Neil Young's Archives series, Dreamin' Man Live '92 does not capture a specific gig. Instead, it's a compilation of highlights from the tour he took prior to recording Harvest Moon, as he aired the album's ten songs alone with his guitar (or on one occasion each, his piano and banjo). Although every one of the album's cuts is here, this isn't a strict re-creation of the album, since the songs are sequenced in non-LP order, but that's a minor detail: for most intents and purposes, this is an alternate version ...
| | Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD (1994)
Best Little Secrets Are Kept songs
$8.75 
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas song and the Three Dog Night hit. And, as usual, her gospel-voiced ...

| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Best Little Secrets Are Kept CD music
$17.59
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the ...
