 (1 Customer Review)
One-man band F.M. Cornog is at it again with his sixth album as East River Pipe. And he's still singing his songs of wounded lovers and druggy reprobates in a bemused, vulnerable croon over charming melodies and spacey textures. Imagine a combination of Elliott Smith's compassionate cynicism and the satirical songcraft and wry quirks of They Might Be Giants, and you've approximated East River Pipe. WHAT ARE YOU ON? features mock-ups of suave pop sentimentality (the mini-epic "I'll Walk My Robot Home"), anti-romantic dirges (the creepy "Druglife") and corrosive, ironic spins on sympathy and commiseration (the tender ballad "You Got Played, Little Girl"). Give Cornog an honest emotion, and he'll affectionately paint a mustache on it.
East River Pipe: F.M. Cornog.
Recording information: Big Ed's Moon Ride, NJ; The New Jersey Institute Of Worser Recording.
Magnet (p.98) - "He creates a stripped-down, symphonic pop backdrop on which a drum machine, keyboards and crisp, trebly guitar lines set the template of despair." East River Pipe What Are You On? Songs | 1. | What Does T.S. Eliot Know About You? |

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts ...

| | Mark Lanegan Bubblegum CD (2004)
What Are You On? songs
$12.49
In between the release of FIELD SONGS and its follow-up, BUBBLEGUM, former Screaming Trees singer Mark Lanegan sang for hard-rock heroes both old (a reunited MC5) and new (Queens of the Stone Age), gaining both fans and famous friends in the process. Thus, all eyes were on Lanegan for BUBBLEGUM, which features guest shots by everyone from PJ Harvey and Queens leader Josh Homme to Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses. Fortunately, all this attention doesn't seem to have fazed the sandpaper-voiced singer; despite the guest list, BUBBLEGUM is as dirty, gritty, and raw as anything in his catalog.
While much of Lanegan's previous solo work is a mix of languid folk-rock, gutter blues, and the kind of grunge-mutated 1960s-psych influences that powered the Screaming Trees, ...

What Are You On? songs
$19.09
All songs written or co-written by members of Hawkwind except "Shot Down In The Night" (Swindells) and "Brainstorm" (Turner).
Recorded, of course, during Hawkwind's 1979 U.K. tour, Live '79 wrapped up seven tracks from the hour-plus extravaganza that greeted concert-goers, with the emphasis (hardly surprisingly) on the older classics that remained the band's most dramatic calling card. For longtime fans, however, there were still several surprises, as the solid mass of earlier band lineups opened out to almost virtuosic proportions. With one eye surely fixed on the rapidly emerging New Wave of British Heavy Metal, guitarist Huw Lloyd Langton lays down guitar solos that the likes of "Silver Machine" and "Master of the Universe" had never previously imagined. Keyboard player Tim Blake (ex-Gong) was granted his own solo showcase mid-set -- "Lighthouse," from his newly released New Jerusalem solo album, is included here, although he also performed the epic title track. Both newcomers went at least some way toward compensating for the recent loss of Bob Calvert -- indeed, the sheer vivacity and variety of the band's performance might not even have been possible had the idiosyncratic poet remained on board. The sound quality is not necessarily all that one would expect from a major-label release, although compared to Space Ritual, Hawkwind's only previous in-concert set, that's hardly surprising. The truncating of the performance itself can, however, be remedied via its inclusion on Dave Brock's own Complete '79 anthology. ~ Dave Thompson
