As the story goes, Dick Dale helped invent surf music by borrowing from traditional Middle Eastern melodies thanks to his Lebanese dad. Boom Pam, located down the coast in Tel Aviv, help bring it all back around, showing themselves to be one of those spirited "try anything once" groups in the vein of such legends as Mano Negra and Babasónicos. But groups like Croatia's Bambi Molesters would be a closer comparison, combining their love of surf with Eastern European as well as Mediterranean styles and creating a unique new stew. The killer ace in the hole for Boom Pam is a slightly unexpected instrument -- tuba, which can get a bad rap in the States for its ungainly size and association with bad high-school marching bands. But Yuval "Tuby" Zolotov rocks on that thing, providing the hyperspeed basslines that drummer Dudu Kohav matches, on top of which guitarist/singers Uzi Feinerman and Uri Brauner Kinrot go to town. One could easily imagine Mike Patton wanting to recruit these guys for a backing tour just because they have all the freneticism and skill needed to do the goods. One song aside, all the tunes are originals (the one cover being "Gross," a traditional number that sounds like a groovy self-playing home organ instrumental from the late '60s reclaimed and powered up); while specific lyrics are the exception rather than the rule, the singing on songs like "Otto Chiconi" and the saucy "Let Me Touch" is strong and vibrant, suiting the music. Some moments are so great that to describe them removes the charm, but hearing things like the crystalline guitar breaks on "Souvlaki #3" and the brawling tuba kick on "Dalida" is just wondrous. Smoother songs like "Weijl" and "Love Song" cut back the tempos for an equally good time for the slow dances. ~ Ned Raggett
Personnel: Uzi Feinerman (vocals, guitar, banjo); Uri Brauner Kinrot (vocals, guitar, saxophone); Yuval "Tuby" Zolotov (tuba); Dudu Kohav (drums, percussion).

The Canadian band's tenth studio album follows 2002's Palace of Gold, which found Blue Rodeo reinvigorated and ready to occasionally break out of the country-pop-rock mold that they are inextricably linked to.

Boom Pam
$12.69
Minneapolis-based, college-radio hit-makers The Autumn Leaves have recently returned with the follow-up to the international, critical success of their debut CD "Treats and Treasures." The album "The Twilight Hours of The Autumn Leaves" dreams a new cosmos of lush guitars, soaring vocal harmonies and wonderful pop arrangements. Nine tracks strong, the album listens like a pop symphony and flows as though written and performed in one brilliant burst of creativity. "Twilight Hours" is a warmer, more luxuriant evocation of leader David Beckey's paisley worldview and as a musical cornucopia of sound melds guitar, bass and drums with organ, piano, cello and flute, sleigh bells, tambourine and bongos, male and female vocal and of course David's new wah-wah pedal. The album bursts with lyrical romanticism and vivid imagery. "Maria's Hat" is a children's tale with a dark oeuvre but sunny denouement all set to swirling beat. "Morning" moves with a mournful melancholy and narrates an urgent plea - "the morning will bring me to you." The stirring mini-opus "Seaside Symphony" is what real surf music should be about. "The Light Brigade of Fireflies", a colorful psychotropic song, makes you believe in the power of imagination as your narrator is "floating past the water lilies, smiling in the sun." "Twilight Hours" is the hallmark of a band which finds theirmuse in the mod, beat and psychedelia of the mid to late 1960's but whose own broad range and imagination conjure up the next step in brilliant, thoughtful guitar pop-rock.The Autumn Leaves are David Beckey, Stephanie Winter, Scott Berndt, and Dwight Erickson. Press excerps regarding The Autumn Leaves' ...

| | Jessica Simpson A Public Affair CD (2006) Bonus Track
Boom Pam
$7.69 
With 2006's A PUBLIC AFFAIR, Jessica Simpson's first major studio release since her divorce from Nick Lachey, the singer/actress parlays her newfound single-superstar status into an energetic dance-oriented album. Clearly feeling a sense of liberation, the Texas-born performer evokes the carefree spirit of Madonna's "Holiday" on the funky, club-ready title track, while "B.O.Y." makes the most of a brief Cars sample to create a slinky synth-pop number. In addition to a lively cover of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)," A PUBLIC AFFAIR includes the similarly 1980s-inspired "If You Were Mine," and even many of the disc's quieter moments (see "The Lover in Me") feature a beat-driven groove backing Simpson's emotive vocals. Opting for a sophisticated, night-on-the-town aesthetic over a more blatantly sexual look, Simpson stays true to her amiable model-next-door image, resulting in a highly entertaining set that has more in common with Kylie Minogue than Britney Spears.
There are basically two ways to deal with a divorce in pop music: dig deep into your soul and pour it all out on the page (à la Blood on the Tracks), or treat it as sheer liberation (à la Back in the High Life). Perhaps it's only appropriate that the dissolution of the Jessica Simpson/Nick Lachey marriage -- one of the biggest tabloid stories of the 2000s, or at least 2006 -- produced two wildly different records that nevertheless follow these blueprints to a tee. First, Nick delivered the mopey What's Left of Me, whose title pretty much gives away the game; ...
