Although Vancouver's scene in the late '70s and early '80s was dominated by first-wave hardcore acts like D.O.A. and the Subhumans, the West Coast city's breakout new wave act was the altogether poppier Pointed Sticks. Although they only managed one album, 1980s Perfect Youth (itself recently reissued by Joey Keithley's Sudden Death label), the quartet released a long string of singles for the pioneering U.K. indie Stiff Records, all of which are collected here along with outtakes and rarities. Waiting for the Real Thing is an exhilarating blast of organ-fueled power pop, the perfect triangulation point between the the Flamin' Groovies' tuneful British Invasion knockoffs, Squeeze's manic, lyrically quirky early phase, and the revved-up angularity of Barry Andrews-era XTC. Nearly every song is a winner, and even the few weaker efforts get by on giddy enthusiasm. Songs like "New Ways" and "Somebody's Mom" are exactly the kind of fresh, spirited pop that modern-day bands like Hot Hot Heat and the Killers never manage to drop the attitude long enough to achieve, and Waiting for the Real Thing is a textbook of how to write should-have-been new wave hits. ~ Stewart Mason

Waiting For The Real Thing
CD $22.79
Syl Johnson started out his career on the blues side of things, working with Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Magic Sam and others, but his biggest successes have come as a soul singer, first for Peter Wright's TwiNight label (originally TwiLight Records, it became TwiNight when it was discovered that another label already owned the Twilight name) in the late 1960s, and then with Hi Records in the early- to mid-'70s. Working with the venerable producer Willie Mitchell and the unbeatable Hi rhythm section, Johnson put ...

Expectations run supremely high for a group like The Good, The Bad & The Queen. In addition to being Damon Albarn's first project since the Gorillaz, the GB&Q are also quite the super group, with Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, and legendary drummer Tony Allen--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer/DJ Danger Mouse, who mans the boards and twists the knobs. The group's 2007 self-titled debut is supremely well-crafted, featuring deeply layered electronic textures that recall the Gorillaz at their most atmospheric and warp the propulsive piano and guitar lines in a playfully ...

Leon Redbone Sugar CDs  (1991) Reissue

Waiting For The Real Thing
CD $9.59  Top 500 Audio Samples
Leon Redbone entered the 1990s with the baker's dozen of selections on Sugar (1991), one of his best overall efforts to date. His unique and unmistakable interpretations of obscure jazz and early popular melodies are augmented by the occasional and equally singular original composition. The tunes are carefully crafted in such a way that they ably augment Redbone's distinct vocals, which vacillate between a gravel-voiced mumble and full-bodied bellow. In keeping with the musical persona he'd established for himself, the arrangements are often a synthesis of the refined jazz stylings of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, with essential nuggets of traditional American folk, blues and pop. The opening "Ghost of the St. Louis Blues" is the perfect case in point, as the tastefully scored string section caresses the mid-tempo pace. Asleep at the Wheel member Cindy Cashdollar's twangy dobro and Bob Mastro's sweet mandolin frail earmark the rural sleepy waltz "Roll Along Kentucky Moon." Comparatively spry are "Right or Wrong," the title track "Sugar," and a standout cover of "When I Take My Sugar to Tea," which are a rousing mixture of freewheeling ragtime and the playfulness of Django Reinhardt's days in the aforementioned Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Another adeptly ...
