Spin (p.57) - Ranked #32 in Spin's "The 40 Best Albums of 2006" -- "[A]n unapologetically mammoth guitar-pop record." Alternative Press (p.200) - "[A] sonic treat....A little bit swaggering '70s rock made for raucous Friday nights, a lot DAZED AND CONFUSED and even a teensy bit glam, UP is well worth a spin."

Light 'Em Up CD music
$13.09 Although Vancouver's scene in the late '70s and early '80s was dominated by first-wave hardcore acts like D.O.A. and the Subhumans, the West Coast city's breakout new wave act was the altogether poppier Pointed Sticks. Although they only managed one album, 1980s Perfect Youth (itself recently reissued by Joey Keithley's Sudden Death label), the quartet released a ...
| | Good, The Bad & The Queen Good, The Bad & The Queen CD (2007)
Light 'Em Up music CDs
$9.89 Expectations run supremely high for a group like The Good, The Bad & The Queen. In addition to being Damon Albarn's first project since the Gorillaz, the GB&Q are also quite the super group, with Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, and legendary drummer Tony Allen--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer/DJ Danger Mouse, who mans the boards and twists the knobs.
The group's 2007 self-titled debut is supremely well-crafted, featuring deeply layered electronic textures that recall the Gorillaz at their most atmospheric and warp the propulsive piano and guitar lines in a playfully foreboding manner. And while Allen doesn't exactly open up the way fans of his work with Fela Kuti might hope, he expertly anchors the whole affair, gently shifting the rhythms and pacing of the tracks without disrupting Albarn's expansive, slightly noir-ish new approach to Britpop.

The Alarm Clocks fall into the latter category, one of countless adrenalized suburban garage bands that released a single in the '60s -- theirs was "No Reason to Complain" backed with "Yeah," issued on the Awake label in the immortal year of 1966 -- only to disappear as quickly as ...

| | Marianne Faithfull Collection CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Light 'Em Up songs
$14.45 Recorded in the early 1970's. Includes liner notes by Alan Robinson.
Any Marianne Faithfull collection from her Decca years that doesn't include "As Tears Go By" is of special interest, as some listeners have never been convinced of her version's merits, regardless of its chart position. In this case, there are 40 songs here in a distinctly folk and pop/cabaret vein, mastered in state of the art sound, that capture some of Faithfull's best moments on various singles and her LPs, alas not in chronological order -- she became a better, less self-conscious singer as she went on, and the material here, running right up to her 1967 Decca single "Is This What I Get for Loving You," embodies some of her best work, nicely annotated and well mastered, and the price is definitely right as a budget double-CD set. ~ Bruce Eder
A couple of lackluster country albums notwithstanding, Marianne Faithfull spent the '70s drifting through the same world of twilight hearsay and shadow that engrossed Iggy Pop for so much of the time. Rumors that she was recording were followed by stories of disheveled collapse or abandonment; rumors that she was filming generally ended with late-night airings for incomprehensible plays; and rumors that she was ever going to return as even a vaguely potent power on the music scene were laughed off as the ramblings of an overly forgiving fan club. Laugh again. Following her resurrection at the end of the decade, those ghostly sessions in the very early '70s came to haunt the extremes of the completist's consciousness, but it would be two decades more before listeners had the chance to discover whether those sessions could live up to the legend. In fact, they surpassed it, and Rich Kid Blues, drawn from a string of ultimately abortive recordings around 1970-1971, not only reassesses that aspect of Faithfull's life, it reappraises a lot of what she accomplished later. Neither Faithfull nor (surprisingly!) the liner essay rate the recordings highly. Though it certainly feeds out of the same basic mindset which inspired Faithfull's earlier recording of "Sister Morphine," Rich Kid Blues nevertheless catches the singer at her ...
