In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the revered college-rock act Camper Van Beethoven issued this 18-track collection, which presents many of the band's finest tunes from its 1980s heyday. In addition to the proudly eclectic group's mid-`80s material, STRENGTH AND BEAUTY also includes five tracks from its late-`80s era (OUR BELOVED REVOLUTION SWEETHEART and KEY LIME PIE), albeit in defiantly re-recorded form, thanks to a dispute with its former label, Virgin. The quirky charm of David Lowery and company is fully evident on classic alt-rock tracks such as "Take the Skinheads Bowling," "Pictures of Matchstick Men," and "Eye of Fatima (Parts 1 & 2)." For those seeking a concise, well-selected introduction to CVB, this is it.
Personnel: Jonathan Segel (vocals, guitar, mandolin, violin, keyboards); Chris Molla, David Lowery (vocals, guitar); Mary O'Neil, Victor Krummenacher, Wally Sound (vocals); Greg Lisher (guitar); Crispy Derson, Frank Funaro (drums).
Illustrator: Michael S. Wertz.

Popular Songs Of Great Enduring Strength And Beauty album
$8.39 What is the Distant Society? It's a group of people brought together with the goal of distancing themselves from a society in which dreams are portrayed as being unattainable. They believe that the journey in pursuing a dream brings meaning to one's life.When a band’s first show is at an event that brings out more than 55 000 people a day, you can’t help but expect big things from them in the future. Since that first show at The Ottawa Exhibition in 2001, the band has been working relentlessly to spread their music to as many people as possible. Their drive and insane work ethic has earned them the reputation as “the hardest working independent band” (Chelsea Miller Live 88.5). Playing over 450 shows across Canada, including dates with ill Scarlett, Default, Silverstein, Buck 65, Brian Melo, State of Shock, Social Code, Wintersleep, The Cliks, People In Planes, Magni and Dilana (Rockstar Supernova), The Mudmen, Cancer Bats and The Salads, has helped DS sell over 4200 CDs independently. Their CD “The Calm E.P.” sold over 500 copies in the first month of release alone. Their single “The Cycle” has been in rotation across Canada for over a year.The band has been enjoying some ...

Popular Songs Of Great Enduring Strength And Beauty CD music
$16.45 Our Town Could be Your Life: The Double UBY CARY CLARKE(Portland Mercury, From Oct 4 – Oct 10, 2007)Portland musicians tend to learn very quickly when out-of-state musicians with any kind of notoriety or reputation are planning to move to our city. The news is usually met, as in the case of, say, Chris Walla or Britt Daniel, with a mixture of excitement and canine territorial defensiveness.Whether this phenomenon is a vestige of the proudly provincial, quietly xenophobic, Tom McCall-era "Visit but don't stay" Oregonian mindset, or the product of the lingering insecurity we all feel about actually being Californians ourselves, word travels at the speed of gossip. But occasionally our early warning systems and border-patrolling Minutemen let us down when it really counts, because while we never fail to work ourselves into an elitist tizzy when we get wind that someone like Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance might be moving here, we somehow let a gem of a band like the Double U move to Portland to live and create in our midst for five years without really taking notice.The Double U play a clean-toned, jazzy, roller-rink-redolent, highly unpredictable brand of restrained indierock full of the muted menace found in David Lynch films and Ren and Stimpy cartoons. The fact that they play music this unusual makes their relative local obscurity unfortunate. But the fact that they do so with an impeccable independent music pedigree makes it surprising. The Double U were pioneering comrades-in-arms in San Francisco's mid- to late-'90s weird rock renaissance with better-known bands like Deerhoof, the Melvins and, especially, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, with whom they sometimes lived and collaborated. Over the course of a decade in the Bay, the band's lineup changed several times, but husband-and-wife duo Matt Hall and Alex Behr remained constant, forming the core of the band ...
