Singer Gary Lightbody's crooning is instantly recognizable and tugs immediately at the heartstrings, making it perfect for broken hearts and sappy montages. (Poor Denny!)Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
Always living in the moment, the band effortlessly bats out a new record that stands as possibly its most accessible.Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
You can tell a band’s character by how they want their music to be heard.Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
Predictably, The Avalanche is merely a continuation of the emotionally resonant “list songs” of Illinois; not so predictably, these songs are in most cases more than mere leftovers.Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
For all the talk (and magazine covers) touting the Raconteurs as "Jack White's new band," the album feels much closer to Benson's previous work.

With such company as Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, and Art Brut, how will the Rakes stand apart from the rest in such a competitive and undeniably talented genre of the music industry?Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living succeeds most when it turns inward.Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
If Chicago’s Felix da Housecat’s progressive trance-infused “Silver Screen Shower Scene” doesn’t get you going, then Albion’s swirling trance rhythms on “Air” will allow you to release your inner dancing queen.Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00
Like tribute discs, of course, benefit discs instantly spark suspicion; purity of motivation scarcely necessitates preeminence of music—the road to hell, et cetera.Written by PLAYBACK:stl Tuesday, 20 June 2006 01:34

If you can find anything on the radio worth listening to these days, odds are you have Gang of Four to thank for it.

Wilco’s first foray into pop, 1999’s Summerteeth, is an obvious starting point for this album, especially on the piano-drenched “Sixteen and the Sea” and the chirping lead guitarwork and lazy vocals that highlight the dreamy pop of “Smile.”

It’s difficult to immerse oneself completely in this record; the momentum shifts constantly, and the lyrics are suggestive but far from straightforward.

I like John Mayer. Hell, I’ll admit it: I was mildly obsessed at his beginning, but though I believe he’s an artist with great potential, this live CD may have been jumping the gun just a smidge.
