| | Elba Avalanche CD Elba Discography of CDs
Dave Segal of The Stranger - Show preview for 5/9/09 at The Comet -Seattle quartet Elba play artful, melodic rock with surprising dynamics that may trigger some knee-jerk prog disdain. We like a lot of prog, so Elba are cool with us. But don't get it twisted: This ain't no Mars Volta-ic display of grandiose virtuosity. Elba write tight, tuneful songs that don't require music-school degrees or knowledge of esoteric myths to enjoy.Jack Rabid - Big-Takeover Magazine -Elba, as remembered from Modern European History class, is the Italian island in the Corsica Channel ‘twixt Tuscany and Corsica, where the Brits exiled Napoleon for 300 days—before escape, restoration, and Waterloo. But the musical trio Elba is hardly so banished, hailing from perennial musical hotbed Seattle. Furthermore, they sound like a nearby Portland staple on their warm, debut, brisk-pop LP. It’s in a zip code with the early Shins, Decemberists, Dimes, Modest Mouse, and departed patron saint Elliott Smith, only lighter—like New Zealand pop. They’re at their best, as on the onrushing “Wide Awake” and “An Avalanche,” or the superb 6/8 time “Ghosts” and accurately-titled “Waltz,” when they mix resonant piano or dour organ with unreserved jangling guitars and leader Nick Cappelletti’s James Mercer-esque enthusiastic, high-voiced, yelping (and often, funereal trumpet). But all 11 songs are worthwhile. Dig in!

Purchase Avalanche CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Avalanche album
 $9.58     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with ...
| | Paul McCartney Good Evening New York City CDs (2009) With DVD; Digipak
Avalanche CD music
$15.64  
Unlike its 2002 predecessor Back in the U.S., Good Evening New York City doesn't cherrypick highlights from a tour, it commemorates a specific event: the inauguration of Citi Field -- the replacement for the now-defunct Shea Stadium, where the Beatles played a legendary show in 1965 -- in the summer of 2009. The circumstances may be different -- different enough to lead to a Billy Joel cameo on "I Saw Her Standing There," the piano man returning a favor from Paul, who played at Billy's Shea-closing shows in 2008 -- and McCartney might have two strong albums of new material to draw upon, but as an album, Good Evening New York City plays a lot like Back in the U.S. with a whopping 17 of its 35 tracks shared between the two titles. More importantly, the vibe is the same, with Macca delivering an expertly balanced and sequenced ...

| | Statues Of Liberty Drop CD (2008)
Avalanche songs
$10.15
Featuring JOHN LAW of \"The Rock and Roll Acid Test\" on Fuse!STATUES OF LIBERTY are:JOHN LAW - LITTLE STRINGSPRINCE HAL - BIG STRINGSHITOMI - SKINSThe Statue of Liberty stands in the middle of New York Bay, right out in front of the whole town, at New York City\'s gates. She holds a light so all approaching will see and come. She welcomes all who seek refuge from the storms and rough waters, all who hope for something better, all who want to be free.She is a true New York City girl. She came from France, but came to New York City. It is not the capitol of the United States of America, but it is the capitol of Earth. She welcomes it all, because she wants it all. This is the place where artists come to make their art, and businessmen come to make their billions. Some are discovered here and some are lost. Where killers hunt their prey and saviors pray for their souls. Some come to live and some come to die. She welcomes all.I walk into the room. This is New York City, raw. There is no hipster dress-code. There is everything else though. An eclectic audience, crowds the stage. Mohawks, dreadlocks, baseball caps, big hair, and bangs. Their heads bob in unison. The beat is simple, but it\'s heavy, big, and loud. Wicked. Can that tiny, little, Japanese girl in the sailor uniform, up on stage behind the drum kit really be responsible for this massive beating I hear? Wicked. There is a big man on stage next to her. More like a man-boy. He has humble good looks, but he\'s dressed like a hick, and he dances like a clown. He braces himself, planting his legs apart on the stage, and proceeds to dig into one of the meanest bass riffs I\'ve ever heard. The crowd erupts with hoots and cheers. There is another man across the stage from him, he approaches the microphone, stepping into the spotlight. You can feel the desire oozing from the female and some male members of the audience. This shirtless hunk behind the guitar is one handsome bastard. He opens his mouth softly, almost whispering, his facial expressions conveying the message more than his words.\"Some girls are fancy, in their summer ...
