Ever heard those early indie Devo recordings? The ones from before they signed with Warner Brothers and had Brian Eno produce their first album? They're an odd listen for anyone who heard them for the first time after the better-known major-label discs: they're more energetic, stripped down, and undeniably punkier, but those early tapes lack some of the personality that made them the spuds known and loved. The exact same statement applies to this reissue EP of the first two, way out of print singles by the Epoxies. The key songs here, "Need More Time" and "Synthesized," will be immediately familiar to anyone who's heard the Portland-based quintet: to this day, these 2001 singles are the cornerstone of the band's legend. "Need More Time" in particular is an instant new wave classic, quite possibly the finest two and a half minutes of the entire post-punk revival, but while this early take ups Viz Spectrum's metallic guitar attack, Roxy Epoxy's lead vocal lacks the hiccupping Lene Lovich-style quirks and breathless delivery of the superior take on the band's self-titled debut album, and Moxie Spectrum's essential backing vocals on the chorus sound comparatively thin and flat. The other two familiar songs, "Molded Plastic" and "Synthesized," fare about the same, but Synthesized is essential for fans for the inclusion of two B-sides that have never been re-recorded. Affectionate covers of a pair of new wave rarities, Adam & the Ants' early S/M-themed dirge "Beat My Guest" and Alice Cooper's 1980 bandwagon-jumper "Clones (We're All)," make clear the Epoxies' enormous and unapologetic debt to the days of spiky hair and plastic-rimmed shades, but they're performed with the same period-specific zeal as the originals. ~ Stewart Mason Epoxies Synthesized Songs | 1. | Synthesized | $0.99 | |

Purchase Synthesized CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Synthesized album
$14.45 After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all it would be if Cash didn't sing her heart out here. The opener, a version of Jimmie Rodgers' ...
| | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Synthesized CD music
$13.05 Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push a rhythm section as powerful as this to the side, dominating with its grinding riffs and solos. Homme's ...
| | Avett Brothers I And Love And You CD (2009)
Synthesized music CDs
$11.25 North Carolina sibling duo the Avett Brothers return in 2009, fresh off a few years of building a cult following for its melodic and rootsy alt-bluegrass sound, with the subdued I AND LOVE AND YOU. The opening single and title track basks in piano-pop splendor in an odd mix of Beach Boys, Byrds, and the Band.
The Avett Brothers continue charting the same musical course as EMOTIONALISM and MIGNONETTE on major-label debut I AND LOVE AND YOU, despite the presence of hands-on producer Rick Ruben. The country-folk duo continue to add elements of pop and hillbilly rock to a country/bluegrass foundation on the 2009 LP, a record with a newfound emphasis on piano and nuanced arrangements. Working with a larger budget allows the group to add small flourishes -- a cello line here, a keyboard crescendo there -- but the resulting music is rarely grand, focusing on textures rather than sheer volume. Scott and Seth Avett share vocals throughout the album, delivering their ...

Returning to the American concert scene after a three-year layoff, the Rolling Stones recorded GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! during a triumphant two-date stand at Madison Square Garden in late November 1969 that found B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner opening for them.

Tipping their collective hats to Chuck ...
