Husky Boy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Rex Navarrete is back with his second comedy album Husky Boy, recorded earlier this year at SF State. Laugh your way to hysteria as Rex delves into the Filipino Husky man, as well as exposing the beauty of owning your business! Also look for the secret hidden track (but sshhh... you didn't hear it from me!)

(More customer reviews)I saw James Booker perform in a little hole in the wall bar in 1983 New Orleans. He had this album propped up on the piano while he played to a very small crowd, yet he played as if he were playing to thousands of people. James Booker enjoyed playing music, and he did it as well as anyone. This would be the last album he would record, and it's one of his best...We spoke while he was on break, and he tried to convince me to buy a copy, but I had just spent my last few bucks buying drinks. He said "take it anyway, and if you like it pay me the next time you see me". Well I went home, put it on, and needless to say, it was all good; from the first cut to the last. James Booker died three weeks later, and I never had the opportunity to go back and pay him, or to thank him for his kindness. I'll be forever indebted to him, not only for the album, but for the memory of that time, and for the story that ultimately came with it. Give James Booker a listen and you'll be rewarded, I promise....

Make a Little Noise Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first heard Make A Little Noise about 3 years ago, back in 1999. I was amazed by her talent and her amazing voice. This is one of the best albums I have heard, and still, nothing has topped it in my book. It boggles my mind that she is not as well known as I feel she should be. If you're thinking about buying this album, stop thinking, and do it. I am about to buy my third copy of this album because my friends keep "borrowing" it, and just keep it. I don't mind at all, because M:G is spectacular!!!

Southlander - Diary of a Desperate Musician (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a fun film. Worth checking out for the musical performances of some of the greatest artists of today, but you get a whole lot more than that.
Rory Cochrane is great as the lead, plays it real cool as Chance, a down and out musician. When he acquires the '69 Moletron, a super rare synthesizer, it lands him the gig and the girl (Beth Orton). But the Moletron gets stolen, and Chance is determined to get it back.
Chance and his seedy pal Ross Angeles chase the synth around LA through the buy/sell rag, The Southlander, and encounter all sorts of LA weirdos, including the unstable defunct funk star Motherchild (Lawrence Hilton Jacobs), Beck, who leads them to a bizarre technology bonfire pit, the menacing junkyard man (Hank Williams III) and a whole slew of others. The recently deceased and dearly departed Elliott Smith has a brief cameo, and contributed 2 previously unreleased songs for the film.
Director Steve Hanft's specialty is in music video (he directed Beck's Loser video), and the production reflects his talent. The musical performances are brilliant and touching.
The extras are fabulous as well. The more I watch it the more I love it!

Starmaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The first time I heard them this group was at a Variety Show from PACE at San Francisco State. The group got the whole audience on their feet (and that was just a couple of songs). The album is very good. It's a CD that I keep listening too. I just want to know what ever happened to the group?

Do You Miss Me Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for this song for a long time. I tried looking on i-tunes and music sites ran into a brick wall. I remember dancing the night away to this song and it brings back a ton of memories for me. I love that it has the different versions.

Almost Here Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I heard about this band back in early June. I was very skeptical at first but they were recommended to me by FOB fans, so I thought I'd give them a listen. One word: unbelievable. I fell in love almost instantly. I am so glad I listened to this band.
Attention-This track certainly got my attention. Upon hearing this song, I knew I could expect great things from the rest of the CD.
Season-Yet another wonderful track. Very inspiring.
Slow Down-One of my favorite tracks. Everything that is written in this song is, sadly, true.
The Phrase That Pays-Used to be my least favorite track but it's grown on me. Good song to listen to if you're ever feeling down.
Black Mamba-Hands down, the best track on the CD. I love his way of dealing with the press and to make a statement such as that is very daring. Kudos for that.
Skeptics and True Believers-The first song I ever listened to by TAI. Very addicting. I find it stuck in my head a lot.
Classifieds-I love the music on this one.And the lyrics are wonderfully done, per usual.
Checkmarks-Another one of my favorites. William's range is amazing. And once more, the boys are making a statement.
Down and Out-Again, another favorite. Good to listen to when you're sad, good to listen to when you're happy. It's just so good that no matter what mood you're in, you'll enjoy this song.
Almost Here-Excellent music on this one. Very catchy words. For some reason I can't help but smile when listening to this track.
Overall, one of the best damn CD's I ever spent my money on. These boys are writing about everything that matters. Life, money, relationships, family, careers, everything. They pulled it off in a way I never thought would be possible. This CD is so unique and I don't think you'll ever come across another like it. Pure gold. I cannot wait for their next CD and expect it will be just as good, or if possible, even better.
Much love to them and this brilliant CD
-Paige

Classified (+2 Bonus Tracks) (Limited Ed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Back in 2002 I wrote an awful review for this album and now that I re-read it, I now know why 0 of 3 people found my review not helpful. Its because my review was poorly written and extremely contradictory.
But after 2 years of listening to Sweetbox ever since ex vocalist Tina was replaced by Jade, I take back everything I said in the old review. Though Jade's voice is kind of average, she has a unique way of allowing it to flow throughout a song. So shes not Celine, but it doesn't matter. A ballad sung by Jade is pure, so in my opinion its not powerful, but it stands above the rest because it is unique and stands out. So whether its the slow songs or the upbeat songs, they all have a good message behind them. Its not about having to be deep or complicated, "Classified" is about life and enjoying it while its still here. Its about being happy and feeling loved. It may take some getting used to, but when you can get past those points, "Classified" is truly a unique and amazing journey.

De-Classified Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After several years, Eat Static have returned with a proper album of tough beats, innovative sounds and yes, alien weirdness. De-Classified will excite longtime fans, sounding closest to their classic Impact LP. From the start, we're prowling in familiar territory -- b-movie sci-fi samples swimming around plasmic funk, cosmic flights, tripped-out synth washes and buzzing riff attacks.
Starter "Invasion" touches down in breakbeat territory while "Sucker Unit" launches into a metronomic space groove and "Trantaloid" digs into classic extraterrestrial belches and burps. The fun doesn't let up as Joie Hinton and Merv Pepler bust into pulsing madness with "Deadly Amphibian" and the muscular trance of "Sin-Quest." Two-step action propels the excellent "Tractor Beam," it's drum `n' bass rhythms pulling the mind into a flashing vortex of undulating colors while the languid tribalism of "Pachama" and the ambient groove of the title track float you into zero gravity.
While De-Classified does not top Impact, it's still a worthy successor and proof positive that one of the world's most inventive electronic acts are back in fine form. It feels good to have the boys from Somerset once again blasting static through the matrix.

Serenade 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)dis c.d. is a little better than SI, i think that most of the artist have really matured when it comes down to style. i think now that they have a feel for the music and the industry, they put their hard work and effort in these new songs.I know that some of these artists worked hard, especially Touch.

Classified Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the follow-up to the well-received Brubeck Brothers Quartet's Intuition (Koch, 2006), which spent three months in the jazz top 20. There are some obvious similarities: Classified is also unusually bountiful, weighing in at over 78 generous minutes; the band (aka the BBQ) features three of the same stellar players, now with regular touring partner Chuck Lamb rather than wunderkind Taylor Eigsti at the piano; and the music is uniformly excellent in its composition, execution, and recording quality. Now for the details.
The title reflects the fact that Classified embraces some classical instrumentation: specifically, the three delightful movements of Chris Brubeck's "Vignettes for Nonet" are played by the BBQ and Imani Winds, the Grammy-nominated reed quintet. But one of the many remarkable things about this CD is that when the jazz and classical are merged, you hear no seams: instead, the two simply melt into each other in a surprisingly natural way.
Other notable elements: the classy choices of pianist/composer Chuck Lamb; the flowing lines of guitarist/composer Mike DeMicco; Chris Brubeck's sly wit on trombone, fretless bass, and composition; and Dan Brubeck's distinctive drumming, which somehow manages to be full of swing and space at the same time, his exciting solos at the end of "Good Question" and "Eclipse," for example. Favorite tracks: the warm bossa, "Dance of the Shadows," the playful "Nonet," the mysterious "7th Sense" (original title: "The Seven Seas of Captain Voodoo"), the soulful "Friends Beyond Time," and that familiar, much-beloved closer, which in this treatment could get a slight name shift, to "Blues Rondo a La Turk."
Once again the BBQ attains that rarefied level where music is both relaxed and expressive, and their joy in its creation is contagious. There's really nothing out there that comes close to their unique brand of inventiveness. - Dr. Judith Schlesinger, AllAboutJazz.com
