| | Glass Pear Streets Of Love CD Glass Pear Discography of CDs
Glass Pear, the quirky moniker for Welsh singer-songwriter Yestyn Griffiths, releases his debut album “Streets Of Love” on WOL Records. Self-produced with cohorts Tom Welham and Tasha Baylis in a tiny north London flat, “Streets Of Love” is a collection of ten stellar songs that feature Yestyn’s epic piano-clad melodies, soaring voice and existential lyrics. The first single “Last Day Of Your Life”, mixed by Coldplay producer Danton Supple, was featured in Grey’s Anatomy and 90210, whilst "Wild Place" and "My Ghost" appeared in CW's Vampire Diaries and Fox's Bones respectively.The younger brother of recording artist Jem, Yestyn started his career co-writing tracks for her acclaimed debut “Finally Woken” and follow-up “Down To Earth”. In 2008 he sent a demo of Glass Pear songs to the then Music Director of KCRW 89.9 FM Los Angeles, Nic Harcourt, who became an early supporter. Others such as Alex Patsavas, the music supervisor for Gossip Girl, soon caught on to the buzz, predicting that Glass Pear “would have a big impact in 2009. [He writes] beautiful, melodic, well-crafted pop songs.”Echoing the influence of early Radiohead and Coldplay, “Last Day Of Your Life”, “Listen To The Music” and “Come Alive” weave pretty guitar melodies into complex, modulating arrangements, climaxing in huge, sing-a-long choruses. “Violet Waters” deceptively opens with Keane-like piano before bursting into an exotic beat reminiscent of Bloc Party. Just as intriguing is the shuffling, Cure-inspired romp of album title track “Streets Of Love”, where Yestyn’s lyrical obsession with love and death finds its outlet: “People punch and people bruise on these streets of love/Where we live and die.” In “Wild Place” and “My Ghost”, Yestyn strips back his sound to naked acoustic and voice, reaching his most powerful emotional expression at the finale of the album’s closing track.Shot through with references to human mortality, the fragility of love and the search for transcendence, “Streets Of Love” is an emotionally uplifting and meaningful record that extends the tradition of great British guitar music.

| | U2 No Line On The Horizon CD (2009)
Streets Of Love songs
$10.49 
There's no shortage of legendary producers in line to work with music world titans U2; when work with Rick Rubin broke off, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois stepped in. The resulting NO LINE ON THE HORIZON, 2009's offering from the Irish rockers, continues in the grand U2 tradition, as soaring pop anthems like opening single "Get on Your Boots" pair with experimental melanges like "Tripoli," on a striking album featuring touches of all the albums come before, yet hinting at new worlds for Bono to conquer.
After spending the 1990s experimenting with electronic music and returning to arena-ready rock during the first few years of the 21st century, U2 stakes out territory somewhere between those two points on 2009's NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. Enlisting its go-to production trio of Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite, the Irish quartet seems intent on crafting a quirkier companion piece to HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, and they succeed with restless tracks such as "Get on Your Boots," which sounds like "Vertigo" hijacked by T. Rex, and "Stand Up Comedy," a wiry number that lets the Edge cut loose with barbed guitar lines. Some of most striking songs on HORIZON are the ones that venture farthest from U2's comfort zone, as on the surprisingly weighty title track, a tune that counterbalances its nearly industrial heft with a high-pitched keyboard melody, and, of course, Bono's soaring vocals. Although HORIZON is willfully less accessible than BOMB or ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND, it's no return to ZOOROPA-level ...

| | John Denver Rocky Mountain Christmas CD (1975)
Streets Of Love CD music
$6.09
This 1998 reissue contains 5 bonus tracks (including the previously
unreleased "White Christmas") not included on the original release.
John Denver's music always had a warm, home-spun quality to it, so it isn't surprising that his 1975 holiday effort, Rocky Mountain Christmas, is a wonderfully low-key and friendly Christmas album. Divided between classic carols and new numbers, such as the fine "Aspenglow" and "Christmas for Cowboys," the album is an appealing, pretty record, perfect for late nights by the fireside. The 1998 CD reissue adds five bonus tracks: "Jingle Bells," "White Christmas," "The Music is You," "Perhaps Love," and "Dreamland Express." ~ Rodney Batdorf

Continuing with the sound an spirit of his new millennium Californian makeover, 2009's American Sunshine picks up the thread from 2007's Are You Lookin' at Me?, offering a cheerfully mellow collection of easy-rolling folk-pop. Hay's touch remains light, never pushing either his melodies or his wry quips yet relying on them both to fuel these gently charming songs. He remains infatuated with what happens under the Southern Californian sun, whether it's rhapsodizing over the state itself or cherishing a flirtation with a shop girl, and it's easy to share his affections thanks to his easy, tasteful ...
