| | Trevor Childs Terrified CD Trevor Childs Discography of CDs
"Anybody who says they got God on their side makes me terrified," goes the chorus of the title track from Trevor Childs' debut album, a heartfelt protest song about the Iraq War that, unlike most political anthems to be, has a catchy tune and memorable chorus to go along with its well-intentioned beliefs. That tends to be the standard throughout Terrified, which is positively lousy with memorable turns of phrase, unexpected arrangement choices (like the deliberately cheesy calliope-sounding carnival-esque keyboards underpinning the ironically chipper "Don't Get Old") and a surfeit of solid folk and folk-rock melodies. Childs is perhaps a bit overearnest at times lyrically (see "Golden Arches" and "This Modern World" for details), but for the most part, he's too smart to get caught by the usual folk singer clichés. The sarcastic snarl of "Deathwish" is more to Childs' liking, and it's a style that suits him. ~ Stewart Mason
Trevor Childs, formerly of Bay Area band Applesaucer, releases an album that is socially relevant and definitely retro. His love of The Zombies, Beach Boys and Syd Barrett shines through, but is also partnered with some good old-fashioned Berkeley libera
Personnel: Trevor Childs (guitar).
Recording information: Home, Berkeley, CA.

Purchase Terrified CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Lady Gaga Fame CD (2008)
Terrified album
$9.99 The times were crying out for a pop star like Lady GaGa -- a self-styled, self-made shooting star, one who mocked the tabloid digital age while still wanting to wallow in it -- and one who's smart enough to pull it all off, too. That self-awareness and satire were absent in the pop of the new millennium, where even the best of the lot operated only on one level, which may be why Lady GaGa turned into such a sensation in 2009: everybody was thirsty for music like this, music for and about their lives, both real and virtual. To a certain extent, the reaction to The Fame may have been a little too enthusiastic, with GaGa turning inescapable sometime in the summer of 2009, when she appeared on countless magazine covers while both Weezer and DAUGHTRY covered "Pokerface," the rush to attention suggesting that she was the second coming of Madonna, a comparison GaGa cheerfully courts and one that's accurate if perhaps overextended. Like the marvelous Madge, Lady GaGa ushers the underground into the mainstream -- chiefly, a dose of diluted Peaches delivered via a burbling cauldron of electro-disco -- by taming it just enough so it's given the form of pop yet remains titillating. Sure, GaGa sings of disco sticks, bluffin' with her muffin, and rough sex, but her provocation doesn't derive solely from her words: this is music that sounds thickly sexy with its stainless steel synths and dark disco rhythms. Where GaGa excels, and why she crossed over, is how she doesn't leave all this as ...
| | Doobie Brothers Captain And Me CD (1973) (Import)
Terrified CD music
$27.45 CAPTAIN AND ME found the Doobie Brothers boasting three strong vocalists, two expert guitarists, and a brace of rhythmic drummers, refining a sound that crossed AM pop-rock, soul-tinged R&B, country-folk, jazzy gospel, and strong musicianship. The result burst the band into national prominence. Traces of Moby Grape, whom the group adored, can be heard in their vibrant harmonies and flowing hooklines, but THE CAPTAIN AND ME showed an act of singular purpose.
The effervescent urgency propelling the percolating groover "Long Train Running" and the leaner rock of "China Grove" into the US singles charts is apparent on every selection. In addition to the band's gorgeous layered harmonies and twin guitar arpeggios, THE CAPTAIN AND ME features the band's strongest and most consistent set of songs. Patrick Simmons's mellow, country-rock numbers, such as "South City Midnight Lady" and "Clear As the Driven Snow," abut Tom Johnson's rockers, like the majestic title track. In short, this record defines the classic sound that would make the Doobie Brothers one of the most popular and commercially ...

| | Corinne Bailey Rae Sea CD (2010)
Terrified album
$13.64 After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "Are You Here," lyrics like "Wait till you see those eyes" and "He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen" suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside. As such, the song's "What's it even mean?" question could be the beginning of a love affair or a tragedy, but the following "I'd Do It All Again" is even trickier, as post-argument lyrics written before her husband's tragic loss ("You're searching for something I know/Won't make you happy") take on new meaning . Further confusing the matter, throughout the album the singer speaks of her love in the present tense. Then there are the numbers that come from left field, like the slithering, funky "The Blackest Lilly," which struts like a sexy Rolling Stones song while pulling inspiration from Philadelphia's neo-soul party, the Black Lily. It comes to a moving end with the title track, a masterful piece that looks back through generations of loss and the majestic ocean of time that "Breaks everything/Crushes everything/Cleans everything." ...
| | David Bowie Reality Tour CDs (2004) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Canada
Terrified CD music
$18.05 Originally released as a home video in 2004, David Bowie's A Reality Tour saw a two-CD audio release slated for January 2010, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks -- "Fall Dogs Bombs the Moon," "Breaking Glass," "China Girl" -- adding value to those hardcore fans who already own this concert as a DVD. In either the video or audio incarnation, this November 2003 Dublin, Ireland show is an entertaining, open-hearted set, finding Bowie running through a generous selection of oldies -- both hits and album tracks, including songs written by Bowie, like "All the Young Dudes" and "Sister Midnight" -- and new songs that hold up well next to the classics. This is Bowie in his mode as a crowd-pleasing professional, playing with considerable charm and skill, offering no surprises but plenty of pleasure: it's not the first album that will come to mind when thinking of live Bowie, but as it's playing, it's hard to resist. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Covering his career splendidly and pulling out a couple surprise numbers gives the A Reality Tour DVD a set list to die for if you're a hardcore ...
