"Shoot the Man in the Tree" is Wckr Spgt's 40th full-length release in over half again as many years and the only one in the last several of those years. Combining the rock power of 1997's "Everybody's Dead (Oh, No)" with the roots experimentation of 2003's "The Marilyn Mansion", Wckr Spgt has here one of the strongest releases of their lengthy career. This time around, Wckr Spgt consists of the original three founding members (Joel Huschle, Mark Givens, and Dave Carpenter), the drumming talents of Kyle Brodie (Nothing Painted Blue, etc) and the engineering mastery of Steve Folta (The Uncalled For) who also lends his voice and his spot welding skills to the project. Kyle is no stranger to the music of Wckr Spgt; he joined them (along with bandmates Franklin Bruno and Peter Hughes) on "Everybody's Dead (Oh, No)" as well as an East Coast tour in 1995. Vocalist Joel Huschle delivers the goods that have made him the powerful force in the Indie Scene that he is today; we get to hear bassist/guitarist Dave Carpenter's lyric-writing prowess again, a component that adds yet another dimension to this many-sided band; and the musical stylings of Mark Givens are just that - stylings. The 14 songs on this release - from the first track, the excessively hummable "Bump", to the last track, a nightclubby version of the 1992 Jupa Records B-side "Where Did I Stop?" - explore the varied tastes and talents of the members. There's a banda-flavored track penned by Dave ("Hector Stuffs Birds"), hard-hitting political commentary from Mark ("Louisiana Meltdown)", a stream of subconsciousness rocker from Joel ("Eight Track Tapes and Pick Up Sticks") and even a cover of a Bee Gees classic ("Whisper Whisper" from 1969's Odessa). The Rock and Roll show-stoppers include a riff on the music scene ("Indie Fatigue"), a love anthem ("It'll Be Better, Earwig") a hard-hitting sing-a-long ("Rip Off The Top"), and the already-classic "Trash Car", conceived by Dave's six-year-old son Jack. Also included are the popular hits "Paris Hilton Video" and "Happy About the Food", two songs available on the website ( wckrspgt ) but remixed and mastered for your listening pleasure. To top it all off, the distinctive talents of artist Gus Fink grace the cover of this unique package."Shoot the Man in the Tree", which takes its title from the classic 1983 song of the same name, comes along at just the right time and sounds just right. It's almost perfect. Shoot The Man In The Tree Music WCKR SPGT Shoot The Man In The Tree Songs | 1. | Bump |

Shoot The Man In The Tree album
 $16.00   
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other ...

Shoot The Man In The Tree music CDs
$8.75  
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that ...
