| | Heaven & Hell: The Very Best Of The Mekons CD Mekons Discography of CDs
While the world's loyal legions of Mekons fans will undoubtedly complain that this or that great song has not been included on the set list, the fact remains that HEAVEN & HELL is the Mekons anthology that the universe has long been waiting ... Full Descriptionfor. A two-disc retrospective, HEAVEN & HELL spans from the UK band's early output (1980's "Snow") to 2004's "Work All Week." The superb, non-chronological sequencing gives a whiplash, merry-go-round tour of the group's multi-directional musical charms, which pack punk, folk, country, reggae, and art noise, among other influences, into a body-flattening wallop.
Nearly 25 years of consistently high-quality work is featured here, with equal attention to the Mekons' post-punk origins, their classic mid-period records (FEAR AND WHISKEY and THE MEKONS ROCK N' ROLL), and their very fine late-'90s/early 2000s Quarterstick albums. Politically committed, fiercely independent, and tireless makers of unique, rootsy, and energetic music, the Mekons are one of rock's great heroic bands. HEAVEN & HELL reminds us of this, and, in many ways, it's a perfect rock & roll document.

Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their core, making plain the inherent frisson lurking below the surface of such ostensibly laconic tunes as "Lonely Girls" ...

Heaven & Hell: The Very Best Of The Mekons music CDs
 $31.25  
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader.
KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the ...
