Rjd2 - Ghostwriter from Deadringer (2002) /instrmntl hiphop/((Ya know the old cars from the thirties, with the glistening coat of green paint and the square-tops and the round protruding headlights like buggy little eyes. There one goes, bouncing down the road in front of a billow of dust. It’s whistling a cheery […]

After just 2 or 3 listens Keren Ann Zeidel’s English debut had
snuggled up against my subconscious. The songs all sounded familiar
and I already delighted in each one while anticipating the next.
Keren’s style is light, easygoing and very difficult to dislike. Her
gentle voice caresses your ears as the dreamy but catchy melodies
float over sparkling […]

Well it’s not quite as good as having my own radio show, but for two hours tomorrow it’s the same damn thing! Today I received word that the host of Rhythm n’ Roots, a reggae/calypso/etc show on CFMU, won’t be able to make it, and I was the first to respond to the fill-in […]

When listening to Beneath Augusta’s debut, it’s easy to think of Muse with the bombast knob cranked down, combined with a bit of the laudable aimlessness of Elbow-or, more appropriately, to the sound of Bends-era Radiohead B-sides. In fact track nine sounds absurdly similar to “the Trickster,” and while that’s not bad in itself, it […]

Augie March - The Night is a Blackbird from Strange Bird (2002) /aussiedreampoprock/((“Well it tastes like a Sunday,There should be music in the front room.and the markets a’millingwith the people in the afternoon.And there’s a question to be askedif you’re drinking alone,It’s what horse were you thrown fromwhich riderless goes on?

Solomon Burke - None of Us Are Free from Don’t Give Up On Me (2002) /Soul/((“And there’re people still in darkness, and they just can’t see the light. If you don’t change wrong, then that says it’s right. We got to try to feel for each other, let our brothers know that we […]
