Originally issued in 2004, and re-released in '07, the Blow's POOR AIM: LOVE SONGS presents an excellent assemblage of the performance-art/pop musings of Khaela Maricich and Jona Bechtolt. Pairing Maricich's sing-song vocals and stream-of-consciousness lyrics with Bechtolt's minimalist techno-pop arrangements, the Portland, Oregon-based duo, with its quirky, naïve charm, sometimes brings to mind an electro version of its regional predecessors, Beat Happening. Highlights of POOR AIM include the catchy, whimsical "Hey Boy" and the lovelorn "Come On Petunia," which gleefully lifts entire verses from the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic."

Like other entries in the States Rights Records/Slender Means Society's Pregnancy Series, the Blow's Poor Aim: Love Songs is a CD EP that's kind of a sampler of the act's sound, or an airing out of material that doesn't have a natural home on their longer releases. Here Blow consist of Khaela Maricich and Jona Bechtolt, laying down a sound that's more funk-oriented than Blow's early recordings, though it still has a minimal electro-pop feel. The seven-song, 17-minute disc sounds a little like the Raincoats had they gone in a more R&B-oriented direction, though not as fully produced as the Raincoats. While the songs are more forceful and thought-out than Maricich's early work, they're still basic, impulsive-sounding statements, and ones that might actually have a chance at popularity among more adventurous dance-pop-oriented listeners if the disc got the exposure. [The 2007 edition includes bonus remixes.] ~ Richie Unterberger

Poor Aim: Love Songs
CD $12.95  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
By 2007 Spoon had grown into one of the most quietly inventive and accomplished outfits in rock. Like 2005's excellent GIMME FICTION, GA GA GA GA GA is a winning combination of hook-heavy pop and post-punk angles driven by a unique piano-guitar interplay and singer Britt Daniels's expressive vocals. But Spoon's secret ingredient is their spare, often brilliant arrangements. Like a Japanese calligrapher drawing on rice paper, Spoon applies minimal lines and shading to make each song a meticulous pop universe full of texture and subtlety. The ephemeral and appropriately haunting "The Ghost of You Lingers" is a fine example; its radically pared-down piano motif and elliptical melody sound like a cross between Terry Riley and Paul McCartney. "You Got Yr Cherry Bomb" employs a bouncy ...

Poor Aim: Love Songs
CD $12.19  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
After the surprising alt-country feel of Rilo Kiley lead singer Jenny Lewis's debut solo album, RABBIT FUR COAT, her band released their most eclectic and self-assured album, 2007's UNDER THE BLACKLIGHT. Lewis's second solo album, ACID TONGUE, neatly synthesizes the best aspects of both those albums with a newfound breeziness of spirit. The 11 songs swing easily from the rockabilly twang of "The Next Messiah" to the sensuous, swirling "Bad Man's World," with the soulful piano ballad, "Trying My Best To Love You," and the noisy rock and roll clatter of "Jack Killed Mom" particularly standing out. Elvis Costello appears on the title track and "Carpetbagger," returning the favor of Lewis's guest vocals on his 2008 album MOMOFUKU. In fact, that Costello album, ...

Since his Mercury Prize-winning 2005 album I AM A BIRD NOW, fans have heard Antony's angelic voice on everything from Leonard Cohen covers to duets with Bjork to the DFA project Hercules and Love Affair. But 2008's ANOTHER WORLD EP marks Antony's first outing with the Johnsons since I AM A BIRD NOW. At five songs, the EP may seem like a teaser, but five new songs from Antony and the Johnsons is cause for celebration. The spare, chilling title track, which bemoans the disintegration of the ...

Poor Aim: Love Songs
CD $7.99  4 stars Audio Samples
PSM's A Rock'N'Roll Christmas, Vol. 2 is a weird collection of pop/rock, new wave, post-grunge, R&B, adult contemporary, novelty, and pop-metal Christmas tunes. There's nothing linking these songs together -- Dave Edmunds' "Run Rudolph Run" and Squeeze's "Christmas Day" are the only ones that could possibly be connected, stylistically -- but there's a kind of perverse pleasure in hearing Bryan Adams give way to Angel, then the Beach Boys and Chris de Burgh, with Local H, Bob & Doug McKenzie, Paul & Paula, and Stevie Wonder rounding out the rest of the collection. It's hard to believe ...
