| | Hard-Fi Once Upon A Time In The West CD Hard-Fi Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Along with Franz Ferdinand, the Futureheads, and the Arctic Monkeys, Hard-Fi was part a the U.K. blitz of the early 2000s that drew inspiration from 1970s/'80s post-punk icons like the Clash and the Jam. Hard-Fi's sophomore effort, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, continues in the vein of their hugely popular debut, while diversifying the band's palette by including new wave and classic R&B flavors. But skittering rhythms and anthemic choruses are still Hard-Fi's forte, along with politically motivated lyrics that rail against the injustices of governments and social mores. From the cheeky cover art (a text announcing "No Cover Art") to the edgy, danceable, morally fueled music within, ONCE UPON A TIME shows Hard-Fi growing, and finding their mark.

Even before M.I.A. (Maya Arulpragasam) debuted in 2005 with ARULAR, the blogosphere was already abuzz about her, engaging in the kind of discourse normally reserved for academic dissertations. Whether hailed as a canny postmodern pastiche or dismissed as inauthentic cultural pirating, the music, a lively pan-global mash-up of regional dance music styles, seemed ...

Reportedly the fastest-selling debut in British history at the time of its early-2006 release, the Arctic Monkeys' WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM, THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT is a brash, hook-filled album that immediately warrants music fans' attention, if perhaps not all of the pre-release hype. Clearly taking notes on the evolution of U.K. punk, the Sheffield-based band reveal the influence of revered ...

Once Upon A Time In The West music CDs

Lynda Barnes Lovett has written party songs "with a major attitude" that are guaranteed to have you and your friends laughing and singing along. Her album, "Party With No Fear", sets the tone for any great party and encourages partiers to poke fun at themselves and their parties - and just have fun. If you want to liven-up a party, play this album - which offers an interesting variety of rock, blues, jazz, country and calypso sounds! Some of the tracks are great for fast dancing and all seem irresistible as sing alongs. (The lyrics are included in the CD album cover.)The outrageous attitude of these party songs, include her song, "Don't Hold A Grudge", which is a proclamation of every woman's party rules for her man - telling him how to act (and how not to act) at a party, while she "dances on the table and swings from the lights" and admonishes her man that, with proper behavior, he "may get lucky tonight"; her song, "Wino", busts all wine lovers as "winos"; her "Over Indulgence" gives partiers hilarious conscious-free excuses to sometimes party excessively; and her "Love My Wine" unabashedly confesses the world's (and the composer's) love affair with wine. The lyrics to these and other songs are part of the CD's album cover-insert but are also available at her website in a finely bound, glossy-page, humorously illustrated song book, "Collector's Edition of The Party With No Fear Sing Along Songbook".Lynda Barnes Lovett is also writing very different music; songs that other musicians have characterized as "new old standards" and ...

THE HAPPENING and how it all happened. Many years ago my dear friend and mentor, Dick Curless, introduced me to Roald Atle Larsen and Roald introduced me to Kjell Birkeland. I had heard from many people that Kjell was a talented musician, but I had no idea how fantastic he was. Kjell had heard my music while I was making guest appearances in Norway and he suggested that we work on an album together with Roald's help. I was very honored, and we began planning an album of unique sounds.Kjell and Roald found wonderful musicians from Norway that could play the kind of music we envisioned for the album, and more importantly, they could get to the heart of the music and the sounds that we dreamed of. Thre are not enough words to express what the album means to all of my musical friends ...
