Mark Hollis
Mark Hollis - Mark Hollis

  1. Mark Hollis - “Inside Looking Out” - Album: Mark Hollis
    After a decade and a half with Talk Talk, frontman Mark Hollis comes out with a hyper-minimalist effort that explores even further the silence that “Laughing Stock” was approaching. Piano, clarinets, upright, acoustic guitar, strings all convene in as gentle a matter as can be, married together in a way that would make Van Morrison circa “Astral Weeks” proud.
  2. Antony and the Johnsons - “I Am A Bird Now” - Album: I Am A Bird Now
  3. Kathleen Yearwood - “Who Killed Phillip?” - Album: The Book of Hate
  4. A Fine Frenzy - “Ashes and Wine” - Album: One Cell in the Sea
  5. KT Tunstall - “Paper Aeroplane” - Album: Drastic Fanstastic
  6. Penguin Cafe Orchestra - “The Snake and the Lotus (the pond)
  7. Charles Ives - “Central Park in the Dark” - Album: The Unanswered Question
  8. James Blunt - I’m just fuckin kiddin.
  9. Gnarls Barkley - Album: The Odd Couple (checkin it out)
  10. The Black Keys - Album: Attack and Release (checkin it out)

Rattle and Hum HD-DVD

U2 - from Rattle and HumI was too young to recognize when I saw U2’s Rattle and Hum in theaters back in the early 90’s that it is shot by Jordan Cronenweth (the DP of Blade Runner fame), but revisiting it on HD-DVD - it is an amazing thing to behold. I consider this to be U2’s golden period - when they immersed themselves in roots American music and produced amazing tracks like Angel of Harlem, recorded at Sun Studios or employed a gospel choir to revisit With or Without You. A landmark music doc that merits at least one more look.

Oh btw, HD-DVD R.I.P.

Robert Plant | Alison Krauss - Raising Sands
Robert Plant | Alison Krauss: Raising Sands

  1. Robert Plant | Alison Krauss - “Through the Morning, Through the Night” - Album: Raising Sands
    Produced by T Bone Burnette, this record encapsulates an unbeleivable marriage between the unlikely duo that is Led Zeppelin’s former screamer and one of Country music’s beloved traditionalists. This is one of the musical moments that startles and immediately takes hold of the imagination, controlling the room like Omar Sharif in a drunken tirade. The last time I heard something like this it was Joni Mitchell’s ragged smoky voice returning from obscurity on “Both Sides Now.” Instant add.
  2. Talk Talk - “Ascension Day” - Album: Laughing Stock
  3. Cornelius - “Gum”
  4. Beta Band - “Assessment” - Album: Heroes to Zeroes
  5. Black Heart Procession - “A truth quietly told” - Album: A 3 song recording
  6. Bob Dylan - “Talkin’ Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues” - Album: The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991 [BOX SET]
  7. Bonny “Prince” Billy - “I’ve Seen It All” - Album: Ask Forgiveness [EP]
  8. Bows - “King Deluxe” - Album: Blush
  9. Deerfhoof - “You, Dog (A.K.A. Kids Are So Small”
  10. Dinosaur Jr. - “Feel the Pain”
