"Lovers" by The Sleepy Jackson

Here we have a great 13 track debut by an Australian band fronted by a man named Luke Steele, who looks like a genetic mishmash of James Brown, Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro, and Prince. The music is beautifully atmospheric country-tinged rock with dashes of whisper vocals, honky-tonk piano, string... [More]

"It's Not Funny" by David Cross

Mr. Show alum David Cross is quickly becoming this generation's George Carlin in the sense that Cross is able to weave sufficiently funny juvenile humor with extremely insightful political banter. Just like when Carlin took it upon himself to bitchslap the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations at ever... [More]

"Split The Difference" by Gomez

This is a test of the emergency music critic system. Note to Gomez: Supergrass called, they want their cover art to Life on Other Planets back! We now return you to your regularly scheduled album review. Gomez are just one of those bands that, in my eyes, have an extremely diffic... [More]

"Stellastarr" by Stellastarr

It would be easy to pigeon-hole Stellastarr, as another New York hipster outfit hell-bent on exhuming any number of post-punk bands you might name, and It is fair to compare them to Interpol although this is supposed to make both bands boiling mad. But before passing judgment upon this band, it's on... [More]

"Volcano" by Edie Brickell

Edie Brickell's musical career has been far more due to the fickle forces of serendipity than it has some sort of carefully laid play, where she gets a killer demo together shops it around until she can find an agent who is interested in more than "between the sheet" music and catching a break despi...

"Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes" by TV on the Radio

TV on the Radio's EP Young Liars - was a welcome surprise, announcing the arrival of one of the most unique acts to seemingly come out of nowhere during the 2000s. Its alchemy of strange sonic bedfellows like post-punk and doo wop, and powerful vocals and experimental leanings, into songs that were... [More]

"Harmony" by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot has always been the kind of artist that you never really ever needed anything but a greatest hits for. He always has those one or two really good songs from every album, and his compilations Gord's Gold and Gord's Gold V.2 prove this. But his true albums themselves always seem like... [More]

"Heroes to Zeroes" by The Beta Band

"I will now sell five copies of The Beta Band's Three E.P's." That is a line that John Cusack speaks in the holy grail of music films High Fidelity, and it always rings in my ears whenever I think of this band. It's been three years since their last and greatest album Hot Shots II. And while Heroes... [More]

"Baptism" by Lenny Kravitz

After the extremely below average Lenny album, I figured that there wasn't any possible way that Lenny Kravitz could sink any lower than that after a string of sub par releases. Congrats Lenny you've proved me wrong. Baptism is an all-time low in your totem pole of sucking. What the hell happened to... [More]

"You Are the Quarry" by Morrissey

It's been seven long years, but the return of the sullen one has finally come. You Are the Quarry is Morrissey's first album since the terribly underrated Malajusted (go back and listen to it, it really is quite good) and he seems to be in quite an invigorated mood. He has some words of tough love f... [More]

"i" by The Magnetic Fields

Other than the new Wilco record that gets released on June 22nd, this for me, was the most anticipated album of the year. Back in 1999, The Magnetic Fields released one of the most ambitious records of all time, with the triple album 69 Love Songs, and I've waited in anticipation ever since. If you'... [More]

"Trampin'" by Patti Smith

When Patti Smith released the fabulous Gung Ho in 2000, many including myself, figured that it might very well be the last we would ever hear from her. Considering her penchant for retiring at the drop of a hat, and the fact that her long standing contract with Arista had finally run its course. The... [More]
