Dan Treacy, the main singer and songwriter for the Television Personalities, has had a life as colorful as his band's style. Beginning in the 1970s, the TV Personalities set out on a musical journey that would encompass punk, new wave, twee, and shambling music, among other pop subsets. Along the way Treacy dropped out to devote himself to other things (drugs and prison among them), but he and the band returned in 2006 with MY DARK PLACES, the first TVPs release in eight years.
Treacy's songwriting can be alternately harrowing ("Ex-Girlfriends Club"), lovely ("Dream the Sweetest Dreams"), and novelty-oriented ("They'll Have to Catch Us First"). Yet it's always distinctively his own, and the TVPs sound, with its mixture of lo-fi indie, DIY, and art-pop, is as compelling and effervescent as ever.
Television Personalities are quite possibly the finest cult band in the UK. Since forming in 1977, they have released 8 studio albums involving numerous changes in personnel centred around the constant figure of songwriter Dan Treacy. My Dark Place is their 2006 album. Domino.Uncut (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[N]obody else writes love songs like Treacy..."

Purchase My Dark Place CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
My Dark Place album
 $12.85   
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 play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its original Latin -- but never pushing tunes in unexpected directions. Many would argue having Dylan croon these carols is unexpected enough and, true, there are times his gravelly rumble is a bit pronounced, but nothing here feels forced, it all feels rather ...
| | Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)
My Dark Place CD music
$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 in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. Still, there's not that much new here -- and the coda of seasonal covers, including the first sober version ...

My Dark Place songs
$13.89
The collaboration between African kora player Ablaye Cissoko and trumpeter Volker Goetze is a thing of real late-night beauty. It lives on the tipping point between West African music and ethereal, atmospheric European jazz. In many ways, the disc belongs to Cissoko, whose playing and singing on both traditional and original material powers the whole things, gently lulling everything along, with Goetze's contributions more minor, often punctuating and ...
