Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak

Pop Save Us (Mini LP Sleeve)

$13.14

Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the title track, on which Forbes sings "I think we should take it slow" over swooping strings, brass, and piano that resurrect the glory days of AM pop; that feeling is echoed by the cover of Joe Raposo's "Sing," the Sesame Street song that gained popularity when the Carpenters performed it (Emilio Delgado, aka Sesame Street's Luis, duets with Forbes here in Spanish and English). The album's first few tracks are among its most playful, including the slinky yet winking "Ohayoo Ohio" and the French confection "Ou Est Ma Tete?" While Pink Martini gets almost too cute for their own good with "And Then You're Gone" and "But Now I'm Back," a pair of songs about ...

Ry Cooder Chavez Ravine CD (2005)

Pop Save Us (Mini LP Sleeve)

$17.89

In the wake of the tremendous impact of the BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB album, film, and tour, it is easy to see Ry Cooder as a historian, a cultural ambassador, and a gifted humanist interested in revitalizing all people through music. If this sounds like an overstatement, you probably haven't heard 2005's CHAVEZ RAVINE yet. Like BUENA VISTA, CHAVEZ RAVINE locates itself in a cultural and musical context, this time in a vibrant, culturally rich Mexican-American community in post-war Los Angeles. With help from musicians associated with the era and location (including Don Tosti, Lalo Guerrero, and Thee Midnighters' Little Willie G.) and studio musicians Jim Keltner, Jon Hassell, and legendary Tex-Mex accordionist Flaco Jimenez, Cooder has created a musical novel that richly celebrates the music, life, and lingering mythos of Chavez Ravine, an L.A. neighborhood razed by the city in the interest of big business (namely to build a stadium for the soon-to-be L.A. Dodgers). Stylistically, the album, performed in both Spanish and English, encompasses Latin folk forms, swing, atmospheric ballads, rhumba, and R&B. Yet the whole feels so rooted ...

Francoise Hardy Vogue Years CD (2001) (Import) Remastered; Germany

Pop Save Us (Mini LP Sleeve)

$14.45

French chanteuse Francoise Hardy gets her yesars with the Vogue label covered in this extensive collection; includes 50 tracks and original artwork. More so even than her countryman and fellow pop star Serge Gainsbourg did in the 1960s, Francoise Hardy synthesized mainstream pop and rock elements into her take on the French chanson tradition. Influenced by Phil Spector's girl-group sound and the loungy, orchestral pop of commercial radio, Hardy's music of the 1960s is dense and breezy at once, marked by lush, hip production and the chanteuse's measured, bittersweet vocals. BMG's superb two-disc set, THE VOGUE YEARS, ...
