Some music is celebrated for its elegant subtlety; Pink’s slams you over the head. Four albums in, she’s not changing her formula. I’m Not Dead touches on bulimia (”Stupid Girls”), war-mongering politicians (”Dear Mr. President”), teen angst (”Conversations With My 13 Year Old Self,” “Runaway”), overheated pickup artists (”U + Ur Hand”), and gross […]
Split onto two discs, these 18 songs could have fit on one. It’s a testament to Harper’s aesthetic sensibilities that it is so configured, thereby both avoiding the scourge of the overly long album and dividing the raw, pummeling rockers from the ballads. With his band, the Innocent Criminals, he tears into such songs […]
Add 3121 to the mounting pile of evidence: Prince is the black Beck. He’s a whole lot sexier, no doubt, but there’s more to both musicians than image. All-out weirdness for one. Edginess for another. And a fine-tuned sense of how to combine the two to create some of the decade’s most vital music […]
David Gilmour’s solo career hasn’t exactly been creatively restless; this is but the third album by the Pink Floyd guitarist, and first in 18 years.

Lizzie’s […]
Compilation from the ultimate American teen act of sunshine pop psych, possibly only rivaled by the Monkees in terms of popularity in the genre. And they didn’t even come from California!! The difference is the Cowsills were a real family band, formed by their father Bud Cowsill at the time of Beatlemania, and featuring […]

If you want to do justice to the significance of prog metal act Vanden Plas from Kaiserslautern, it doesn’t really make sense to restrict yourself to their accomplishments in Germany alone. The band surrounding vocalist Andreas Kuntz have succeeded in making a name for themselves on an international level, enjoy almost cult status in […]
Some k.d. lang fans argue that the Alberta-born crooner released her best work during the first 10 years of her career. Dressed in layers of thrift store finery, with stage moves that recalled the Tasmanian Devil, lang’s quirky ‘cow-punk’ style made an unforgettable first impression. Sassy antics aside, her appeal was cross-generational, blowing audiences […]
