Kudos to Begushkin--aka Brooklynite Dan Smith and his friends--for making an album of adventurous folk that breaks out of British Isles modal drone apery. With exquisitely played guitar lines, hints of Balkan gypsy sounds, and a voice that recalls both Will Oldham and John Cale, Smith has delivered an eerie thriller of a record centered exclusively on--as the title suggests--goings-on between sundown and sunrise. The strength of his material aside, Smith is one talented band leader: throughout NIGHTLY THINGS he conducts a shifting array of friends and players into one unified, enchantingly gothic neo-folk beast.

Nightly Things music CDs
$8.75  
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard ...

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Nightly Things album
$16.24
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is ...

Nightly Things CD music
$11.85 
Dannyland is California musical savant Danny Cohen's first true album of nonarchival material and his third overall. Epitaph's subsidiary Anti once again shows its stripes and puts its money where its mouth is in signing Cohen to a record deal -- and giving him a decent budget to record with. Musically and creatively, Dannyland is a wonder. For all the ink and self-perpetuated myth (not a bad thing at all in rock & roll) of being an outsider artist, he's far from inaccessible and far more so than some of the folks he usually gets lumped in with, who shall remain nameless. Cohen understands pop music very well; and while his use of textures and dissonances can be attention-grabbing, it is never harsh. Its orchestral approach is almost Baroque. Cohen's melodies and harmonies are wondrously full of old R&B, bubblegum pop, lounge textures, noir-ish '50s TV theme jazz, and a loopy, lush psychedelia that Van Dyke Parks doesn't have the imagination to conceive, let alone articulate. His sense of humor is deadpan and downright funny, and his musical accompaniment is full of mysterious layers and exotic soundscapes. His band includes sax wizard Ralph Carney, bassists Snake Howe and Christine LaPado, lap steel and lead guitarist Jon LaPado, keyboardist Dave Hurst, and drummer Jimmy Fay, among others. Cohen plays everything from chime and mellotrons to organs, guitars, drums, and bass. In other words, whatever it takes.
Cohen's themes are, even in their darkest moments, saturated with tenderness and vulnerability. His anger and sense of wicked irony are turned inward much of the time and express the multi-dimensional nature of his musical personality such as on the opener -- and only jarring tune on the set -- "The Devil and Daniel Cohen." Here, keyboards, horns, and lap steel create a swirling momentum around the singer, who goes from low to lower in range, and offers a narrative worthy of Jack Kerouac's Doctor Sax. But on "Realm of Fantasy," with vocal help from Jennifer West, the true dreaminess of Cohen's music comes home to roost. Airy and nocturnal keyboards and chimes waft in the background, West's voice intones in its alto as if from a dream, and Cohen joins her in a wistful prayer of impossibility. The gritty, souled-out pop of "Motel Sex" tells a hard-luck tale with a blank acceptance of circumstance and still drenches it in beauty. "El Niño" offers a tale of the storm's aftermath from the point of view of the San Francisco city streets, news headlines, pop culture, and busted lives, all entwined by its havoc with droning, sawing violins ...
