This comes across as somewhere between U2, & Coldplay but with better lyrics than Coldplay seem able to muster. I think I used to go to college with Matt Hales' manager... & Radiohead - Kid A ![[Image: 51FVQKXZM3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51FVQKXZM3L._SL500_AA300_.jpg) How do you follow OK Computer ? Release an experimental electronic deconstruction of everything you've done before, that's how !! Magnificent, impressionistic tangent from one of my favourite bands.

Tiggi knows what I'm talking about. Had forgotten how great this album is. Caught in the obsession of the disco craze, a few rays of hope burst through. Second album from these Irish lads headed by the quavering vocals of Feargal Sharkey. That original incarnation only lasted for 4 albums. Sometimes that's all you need. Later reformed sans the shark, for a 2 album waste. This one never even charted in the states but made it to #6 across the pond, with singles of My Perfect Cousin and Wednesday Week. The only throw away is the remake of Under The Boardwalk, which the Drifters probably got a good laugh out of. But a whopping 15 songs don't hurt. I LOVE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - Under The Boardwalk Best Track - My Perfect Cousin Now I've got a cousin called Kevin He's sure to go to heaven Always spotless clean and neat The smoothest you can get them He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket My ma said they cost a packet She won't even let me explain That me and Kevin were just not the same Oh my perfect cousin What I like to do he doesn't He's his family's private joy His mothers little golden boy He's gotta degree in economics Maths - physics and bionics He thinks that I'm a cabbage Cos I hate university challenge Even at the age of ten Smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then He always beat me at Subbuteo Cos he flicked the kick And I didn't know Oh my perfect cousin .. His mother bought him a synthesizer Got the Human League into advise her Now he's making lots of noise Playing along with the art school boys Girls try to attract his attention But what a shame it's in vain total rejection He will never be left on the shelf Cos Kevin he's in love with himself Oh my perfect cousin 1) More Songs About Chocolate And Girls - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naJ0qkjmmO0 2) There Goes Normon - ** - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdp1KAsAtQY 3) Hypnotised - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQtg4UHhqQQ 4) See That Girl - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kj5WUlR_Ho 5) Whiz Kids - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI-NT-MHnm4 6) Under The Boardwalk - * - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an446M8oI_c 7) The Way Girls Talk - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uZDrsvax_A 8) Hard Luck - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_izQN2jUgFY 9) My Perfect Cousin - *** - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5hnCb-93WY 10) Boys Will Be Boys - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNVaGEwX0ks 11) Tearproof - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvxXM8LNNo 12) Wednesday Week - *** - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FswDoZKFXVc 13) Nine Times Out Of Ten - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxy1wMKWYIQ 14) Girls That Don't Talk - ** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uyw6NmrxTs 15) What's With Terry - *** - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVdhIV4ugSI Rating - 2.5

^ How could anyone not love The Undertones ??
I saw the last show the original band played, when they supported Peter Gabriel in '83...

![[Image: 51EXzyAeN%2BL._SL500_AA300_.jpg]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EXzyAeN%2BL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) Music Head appeared not to like what he heard of this recently, but I'm going to leap to its' defence. DSOTM is a bit of a sacred cow, but Coyne & Co seem to have struck the right balance between reverence, & brutally radical reinterpretation. Some of this sounds like it might have sounded if the Floyd had recorded DSOTM five years earlier, and the rest feels like it's coming from the future. Messy & psychedelic, in much the same manner as Embryonic, this is a blast. Henry Rollins is a good choice for the spoken sections, but Peaches is no Clare Torry...

Never heard the album. Just saw them on one of the late nights doing Breathe, which I didn't care for.

I think it's 5 man electrical band, absolutely right. On the classic rock station because the alt rock station had some stupid call in show on. I listen to radio too much.

Was the art work expensive? Ohio band formed in 2001 and this is their 6th full length. First I have heard them and I can hear some White Stripes for sure and some Cold War Kids at times. Maybe a little more consistent in the bluesy area. Some decent tracks here, with one near great one, but overall it just didn't hold up for me. Looks like it will be their best seller yet, as it has debuted at #3 on the U.S. charts. Tighten Up is the first single. I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - Never Gonna Give You Up Best Track - These Days My hand to God I didn't mean to After all what we been through Men come in different shapes Its how were made Little ??? strife The way I felt most of life The oak tree covers that old Ford I miss it Lord I miss it Lord These blood red eyes Don't see so good But whats worse is if they could Would I change my ways? Wasted times and broken dreams Violent colors, so obscene Is all I see these days These days Watch what you say The devil is listening Hes got ears That you wouldn't believe And brother Once you go to him Its your soul You can never Never, never retrieve These blood red eyes Don't see so good But whats worse is if they could Would I change my ways? Wasted times and broken dreams Violent colors, so obscene Is all I see these days These days Days These days All I see These days See these days All I see 1) Everlasting Light - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFyo_NOic_E 2) Next Girl - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5l64ALR7yc 3) Tighten Up - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ojcl9dRRDs 4) Howlin' For You - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o_qzF6nDws 6) Black Mud - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETieGMdtkS4 7) The Only One - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8qBAPaJ4qw 8) Too Afraid To Love You - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2PPkYhPaZw 9) Ten Cent Pistol - 2.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjF_JUrAz0w 10) Sinister Kid - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnSdjIpMVsc 11) The Go Getter - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBQ7cteaYLY 12) I'm Not The One - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6eG9rcCEY8 13) Unknown Brother - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH0oHCMGRDw 14) Never Gonna Give You Up - 1.0 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVyPBiD2rAg 15) These Days - 2.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1R22JpqYgE Average Rating - 1.5

![[Image: 200px-Thorn_opposite.jpg]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/68/Thorn_opposite.jpg/200px-Thorn_opposite.jpg) The girl half of Everything But The Girl with her third solo album. Although her and hubby Ben Watt (the other half) have not recorded together since 2002, Tracey has remained busy with side projects. I am loving the leadoff track here, with a few others needing some more airplay. Damn, I hate that. Nevertheless, it does make the buy list, even if at the bottom. Could have used a few more tracks. I LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - C'mon Home To Me Best Track - Oh The Divorces Who's next? Who's next? Always the ones the ones that you least expect They seem so strong It turned out she wanted more all along And each time I hear who's to part I examine my heart See how it stands Wonder if it's still in safe hands Who's fled? Who's fled? Who's been caught out in somebody's bed? I should have guessed That day that his phone wouldn't take your text He was a chamer I wish him bad karma Oh, I know we shouldn't take sides But that one was his fault This one is her fault No one gets off without paying the ride And oh, the divorces! And oh, oh, oh The honeymoon, the wedding ring Oh, oh oh The afternoon handovers by the swings Oh yes, oh yes Your song seemed to look through a different lens You're still so young Loving's just as easy as it's begun Now there's kids to tend The legal biz And custody And oh, the divorces! And this one is different And each one of course is And always the same Oh, the divorces! Who's next?

![[Image: n69714ymdfc.jpg]](http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drn600/n697/n69714ymdfc.jpg) Model turned singer with her debut album, produced by hubby Jack White. They clicked after her appearance in a White Stripes video. Some country flavored tracks here in which Karen hits some perfect Dolly Parton notes. Although nothing here I would call great, there is also nothing bad. And many of them would grow on me. Excellent live clips from an in store promo event. Some of them are doubled up, meaning 2 songs in 1 clip, which I have posted in both places. That album cover is freaking me out. I can see 2 different heads (a man and a woman), depending on what I'm smoking. I LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - Pretty Babies Best Track - The Last Laugh 1) The Ghost Who Walks - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmFQfgdmyzY 2) The Truth Is In The Dirt - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nKv6UQ-6lE 3) Pretty Babies - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nKv6UQ-6lE 4) Lunasa - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX1ZnxcZV7k 5) 100 Years From Now - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFcxlOpG_Wc 6) Stolen Roses - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5mXp8aRCLU 7) Cruel Summer - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvBcSDnRyc8 8) Garden - 1.5 - audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJNCcS0FYKI 9) The Birds They Circle - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFcxlOpG_Wc 10) A Thief At My Door - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHqKxNDvxi0 11) The Last Laugh - 2.0 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdvg9LAx4J4 12) Mouths To Feed - 1.5 - live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luqkL-uVY7E Average Rating - 1.8 |
