<b><span style="color: blue;">HÜSKER DÜ - THE LIVING END</span></b><br />
<br />
The Living End is a Hüsker Dü live album recorded at various venues in October 1987 but not released until 1994. It spans the band’s entire recorded output, from “Data Control” off Land Speed Record, the band’s debut, to a healthy dose of songs from the band’s last studio album, Warehouse: Songs and Stories. There are also some unreleased tracks and a cover of the Ramones’ “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker.”<br />
<br />
Guitarist Bob Mould and drummer Grant Hart handled the overwhelming share of songwriting duties in the band. Of interest is “Everytime,” a rare solo credit for bassist Greg Norton. The track listing is reflective of the band’s set lists. “New Day Rising” was a common choice to open shows. As explained in the liner notes, the band preferred to group like-minded songs into what they called “packs of three.” Examples of these “packs” include “Standing in the Rain” followed by “Back from Somewhere” and “Ice Cold Ice,” as well as “Terms of Psychic Warfare” followed by “Powerline” and “Books About UFOs”.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Soundtrack of The Theory Of Everything</span></b><br />
<br />
The score for The Theory of Everything is by Icelandic Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson who has composed music for many films including his recent work scoring director Denis Villeneuvue’s film Prisoners and Josh C. Waller’s McCanick. Jóhannsson’s intricate compositions provide a stunning backdrop to the romantic drama about Stephen and Jane Hawking, portrayed in the film by Eddie Redmayne (Les Misérables) and Felicity Jones (The Amazing Spider-Man 2).<br />
<br />
The Theory of Everything is the extraordinary and uplifting story of one of the world’s greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, and of two people defying the steepest of odds through love. The film, based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen by Jane Hawking, is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (Man on Wire).<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Rwake - Xenoglossalgia: The Last Stage of Awareness Pre-Order Via Relapse</span></b><br />
<br />
Xenoglossalgia: The Last Stage of Awareness is the earliest recording of now-legendary Little Rock doom hoard Rwake. Recorded in the late 90s when the band were barely in their 20s, 'Xenoglossalgia' is a document of the band discovering and experimenting with their sound. Glimmers of the deeply psychedelic sludge the band would become famous for are there, coupled with moments of Emperor influenced symphonic metal. Now, almost 20 years later Rwake's earliest recordings have been fully remastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, High On Fire, Integrity, etc) and made available for the first time ever outside of their hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Limited edition LP and CD come packaged in an insane 3D cover (both the cd and lp come with 3D glasses!). See where the trip began!<br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge</span></b><br />
<br />
Spin magazine named My Chemical Romance one of its "Bands to Watch" in 2004. Alternative Press called the group's major-label debut, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, one of the year's "Most Anticipated". With influences ranging from Iron Maiden and The Misfits to Morrissey, the New Jersey based band grabs listeners by the throat and then explodes with wall-of-sound energy and a cool darkness echoing Nick Cave or a young Trent Reznor.<br />

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">The Black Parade</span></b><br />
<br />
The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance's follow-up to its 2004 platinum major-label debut Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, "is way more dramatic, way more theatrical, completely over the top, borderline psychotic," says Gerard Way. "It's the most pure, intense thing we've ever been involved in." Producer by Rob Cavallo (Green Day), the album is a celebration of love and death and darkness<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS</span></b><br />
<br />
From acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) comes the epic adventure Exodus: Gods and Kings, the story of one man's daring courage to take on the might of an empire. Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 400,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.<br />
<br />
The epic film was scored by Spanish composer Alberto Iglesias. He has written the music for several Spanish films, mostly from Pedro Almodóvar and Julio Medem. He has been nominated for an Academy Award for his work in the films The Constant Gardener (2005), The Kite Runner (2007) and again for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011). His other film credits include soundtracks for Steven Soderbergh's Che and Hossein Amini's The Two Faces of January (2014).<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">TOWER OF POWER - BACK TO OAKLAND</span></b><br />
<br />
Back To Oakland is the fourth album by Bay Area based band Tower of Power, released in spring 1974. Tower of Power followed their self-titled gold album with (as said by many critics) an even better album.<br />
<br />
This record had tougher, funkier and better-produced cuts, stronger vocals from Lenny Williams (who was more comfortable as their lead singer), and included an excellent ballad in "Time Will Tell," and a rousing tempo in "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream)". The Tower of Power horn section reaffirmed its reputation in both Soul and Pop circles.<br />
<br />
Back To Oakland was voted by Modern Drummer Magazine as one of the most important recordings for drummers to listen to. 180 gram audiophile vinyl<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">TONY JOE WHITE - CONTINUED</span></b><br />
<br />
Continued is the second album released by swamp rocker Tony Joe White. Recorded at Monument Studios, Nashville and Lyn-Lou Studios, Memphis in 1969 and released the same year, the album contained the single "Roosevelt And Ira Lee". It was produced by Billy Swan and engineered by Tommy Strong and Mort Thomasson.<br />
<br />
The album contains the track "Rainy Night In Georgia" popularized by R&B vocalist Brook Benton in 1970. It reached #4 on the Pop Singles and #2 on the Adult Contemporary charts, respectively. The RIAA certified the single Gold for sales of one million copies. In 2004, it was ranked #498 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. David Ruffin recorded a cover version of the song the same year as Benton, however, Motown for unknown reasons did not release the album.<br />
<br />
The song has been covered by a number of musicians, including Ray Charles, Otis Rush, Randy Crawford, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Amos Garrett, Hank Williams, Jr., Shelby Lynne, John Holt, Nicky Thomas, by the duet of Conway Twitty and Sam Moore, Aaron Neville, and reggae band The Gladiators. 180 gram audiophile vinyl<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">III & IV by Heat Leisure Available Via ThrillJockey </span></b><br />
<br />
Heat Leisure is a collective centered around the Carney brothers of Pontiak, Greg Fox and Alexandra Drewchin of Guardian Alien, Steve Strohmeier of Beach House, and Robert J. Otten III. Their music takes a freewheeling approach to psychedelia with obvious nods toAmon Düül II, Can and the Grateful Dead.<br />
<br />
For this, their second gathering and recording at the Carney’s farm in Virginia, the group recruited the legendary Merry Prankster and Dead associate Ken Babbs, who emceed the Dead’s mythical Veneta, OR gig in 1972 that became Sunshine Daydream, to contribute a shamanistic monologue to “III,” which occupies the first side of this, their first full-length vinyl release. The Carneys approached Babbs about collaborating with Heat Leisure after staying at his Oregon farm on the last Pontiak tour. Heat Leisure’s core principles are spontaneity, serendipity, and collaboration. The band employs frying amp distortion, a signature of Pontiak, as well as an array of drums, synthesizers, samplers, organs and a heavy dose of explorative improvisation by the musicians to create a highly lyrical album.<br />
<br />
III & IV is released on LP-only, pressed on virgin vinyl and presented in a jacket with spot UV gloss printing on cover and free download card. <br />

<br />
<br />
<b>DEAR JERRY:</b><i> I noticed on one of the bigger YouTube channels, one with nearly 20 million views, a snapshot of their Top 5 most played songs, via videos of course: </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>1. "Sleigh Ride" Ronettes (1963) </i><br />
<i>2. "I Dreamed a Dream" (from "Les Miserable") Ruthie Henshall (1995) </i><br />
<i>3. "Donde Esta Santa Claus" Augie Rios (1958) </i><br />
<i>4. "Red Red Wine" Neil Diamond (1968) </i><br />
<i>5. "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" Perry Como (1954) </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What is amazing is seeing three classic Christmas tunes in the Top 5, what with the holidays being only a fraction of the year. People must be playing these all year long. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Any chance you could find out, say, their Top 20? Wonder how many have a holiday theme? </i><br />
<i>—Phil Hartford, Bloomington, Ind. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OpJsyb0Cy3s/VJLnlkdNcwI/AAAAAAAAi_k/0E9cWxk_fdw/s1600/perry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OpJsyb0Cy3s/VJLnlkdNcwI/AAAAAAAAi_k/0E9cWxk_fdw/s1600/perry.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<b>DEAR PHIL: </b>If you are merely amazed at finding three of the five to be holiday-related, prepare to be flabbergasted as we unveil their Top 20.<br />
<br />
Remember, this list includes diverse genres and several different eras:<br />
<br />
6. "Aloha Oé" (Islands Sounds Orchestra) (1989)<br />
7. "Paloma Blanca" George Baker Selection (1975)<br />
8. "Needles and Pins" Jackie De Shannon (1963)<br />
9. "Pretty Paper" Roy Orbison (1963)<br />
10. "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy" Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1965)<br />
11. "Sleigh Ride" Johnny Mathis (1958)<br />
12. "Seasons in the Sun" Kingston Trio (1964)<br />
13. "Happy New Year" ABBA (1980)<br />
14. "The Monkey That Became President" Tom T. Hall (1972)<br />
15. "Sleigh Ride" Arthur Fiedler Conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra (1949)<br />
16. "Oklahoma Hills" Hank Thompson and His Brazos Valley Boys (1961)<br />
17. "Christmas in My Home Town" Charley Pride (1970)<br />
18. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" Elton John & Brian Wilson (live duet) 2001<br />
19. "A Marshmallow World" Brenda Lee (1964)<br />
20. "It's Christmas Everywhere" Paul Anka (1960)<br />
<br />
Even I am truly surprised to find 11 of the Top 20 favorites to be songs of the season, and that "Sleigh Ride," a wintery song with no mention of any holiday, is on the list three times.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DEAR JERRY:</b> <i>I need help with a decades-long earworm, one that goes back to my junior high years, in the mid-to-late 1950s. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The infectious little line is "mangos and papayas, anything your heart desires." </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It was sung by a woman in sort of a calypso style, if that helps. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Can you possibly identify this obscure song? </i><br />
<i>—Denise McQuater, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MQsqrmn8A1s/VJLnr5-Ih_I/AAAAAAAAi_s/7mLaBECBItA/s1600/rosemary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MQsqrmn8A1s/VJLnr5-Ih_I/AAAAAAAAi_s/7mLaBECBItA/s1600/rosemary.jpg" height="200" width="161" /></a></div>
<b>DEAR DENISE: </b>It may seem obscure because nearly 58 years have passed since this tune was a current hit, but I can't describe as obscure any song that makes the Top 30 on both Billboard and Cash Box, as did this one.<br />
<br />
Identifying it is easy, in fact the title has been right there in your earworm all along. It is the first of the two tropical fruits mentioned: "Mangos."<br />
<br />
The vocalist offering her man assorted fruits and nuts, along with unspecified extras, is the legendary Rosemary Clooney.<br />
<br />
The "Mangos" single (Columbia 40835) came out six years after Rosie's "Come On-a My House," and its many non-tropical fruit references (apples; plums; apricots; figs; dates; grapes; pomegranate; peaches; and pears), making something with mangos and papayas seem like the perfect follow-up.<br />
<br />
The overall similarity between the two fruity tunes was not overlooked in the new release reviews, prepared specifically for radio station programmers, in Billboard's March 9, 1957 issue:<br />
<br />
"The rich show-wise vocal talents of Miss Clooney are showcased here on a colorful theme with an exotic rhythm pattern and engaging lyrics, somewhat reminiscent of the thrush's biggest hit "Come On-a My House." Should spice up programming in practically any time slot."<br />
<br />
Dee jays seeking spice agreed and in the weeks ahead, "Mangos" ranked among the Top 10 on Billboard's Most Played Songs by Disk Jockeys.<br />
<br />
Though not frequently heard in the 21st century, I still can't put "Mangos" in the obscure category.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>IZ ZAT SO? </b>Of all solo pop artists, whether male or female, whose first hit came in 1950 or later, Rosemary Clooney's singles sales top all other singers for the pre-rock, first half of that decade.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Ministry Last Tangle In Paris - Live 2012 DeFiBrilLaTouR</span></b><br />
<br />
Ministry’s Last Tangle in Paris documents a time capsule in music history which will never be repeated. In addition to Live Ministry performances, it also embodies rare backstage footage and one-on-one interviews. Ministry founder and front man, Al Jourgensen has no intention to tour Ministry ever again, and thus this documentary is most certainly Jourgensen's last tangle in Paris.<br />
<br />
The US leg of the DeFiBRilLaTouR was a four-city run in Denver, Los Angeles, New York, with two shows in Chicago. The band then flew to Finland to embark on the seven week European leg of the DeFiBRiLlaTouR that included festivals and club shows in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Russia. Legendary songs performed on the DVD include Psalm 69 and New World Order. As a special bonus – the digipack version will include a Ministry tour retrospective double audio album with live performances dating back to 2006.<br />
<br />
In early 2014 Jourgensen underwent a closely-monitored detox, and as of this writing is sober and ready to embark on a new chapter in his life.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">CHERUBS: Reveal New Album Details </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">2 Ynfynyty coming March 3rd via Brutal Panda Records </span></b><br />
<br />
Austin, TX cult noise rock kings, Cherubs, return with 2 Ynfynyty, their first new recording in over 20 years. Produced by Mike McCarthy (Spoon, ....And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead) and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Slayer) in the summer of 2014, 2 Ynfynyty finds the trio rejuvenated with a more dangerous sound then ever. Picking up where they left off while trekking down a few unexpected turns, Cherubs effortlessly mix distorted heaviness with sublime songcraft. If Queens of the Stone Age made a pummeling noise rock record, this would be it. The band's previous records (1992's Icing and 1994's Heroin Man) have reached legendary status in the noise rock world and this record will be no exception. 2 Ynfynyty proves that Cherbus' long hiatus was worth the two decade wait.<br />
<br />
The album will be released digitally and on cassette on March 3rd followed by a limited edition vinyl release on March 17th via Brutal Panda Records. <br />
<br />
Pressing is limited to 500 copies. LP comes housed in a full color, thick printed inner sleeve. Digital download of the full album included<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Joyful Noise 2015 Flexi Disc Series Announced!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Feat. King Buzzo, Could Nothings, Wye Oak, Lee Ranaldo, Kevin Barnes, Protomartyr, Deerhoof and more...</span></b><br />
<br />
We are extremely excited to announce our 4th annual Flexi-Disc Series! We have lined up 12 of our favorite artists, who will each be contributing an unreleased track, exclusively available on the 2015 Flexi Disc Series.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Some background:</i></b><br />
The Flexi Disc Series is a platform for some of our favorite artists to release never-before-heard recordings on a fleeting analog format. Artists are encouraged to be as adventurous as possible for the duration of one single-sided flexi disc (which is essentially a square, flexible 7" record). These are unique and ephemeral tracks from some of the best bands in the world.<br />
<br />
Each release is strictly limited to a one-time pressing of 1000 copies on clear, single-sided, square Flexi Disc (w/ full cover art chosen by the band). These songs will not be released digitally or on any other format. That is to say, the total existence of each recording is limited to just 1000 copies, on an increasingly-degrading analog format.<br />
<br />
Artists contributing to the 2015 series include: Arousal (Kevin Barnes as Georgie Fruit), Cloud Nothings, Deerhoof & Celestial Shore, Goblin Cock, King Buzzo (Melvins), Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Oneida, Pattern Is Movement, Protomartyr, Sonny and the Sunsets, Tera Melos and Wye Oak.<br />
<br />
Standard subscriptions only cost $5 / month (+ postage), or you can opt for the Deluxe VIP Subscription which gets you a custom wooden box set, and all the perks of Deluxe VIP Membership.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">SOUNDTRACK (OST) - DRIVE</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
Drive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) was released in CD format to stores on September 27, 2011 by Lakeshore Records, and owned by Cutting Edge Film Scores. Prior to that, thanks to viral reviews, such as those found on social networking website Twitter, the soundtrack sold well on iTunes, climbing as high as number four on the sales charts.<br />
<br />
The nineteen-track album has amassed positive reviews. James Verniere of the Boston Herald graded it an A, stating, "The cool crowd isn't just watching Drive; they're listening to it, too... The Drive soundtrack is such an integral part of the experience of the film, once you see it, you can't imagine the film without it."Allmusic reviewer James Christopher Monger selected opening track "Nightcall", "I Drive", "Hammer" and "Bride of Deluxe" as highlights on it. Digital Spy's Mayer Nissim gave it a four out of five star rating, finding it to be as important as the film itself. She stated the album beginning with non-Martinez songs instead of mixing it up for a more enjoyable listening experience cost it a star.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Torche 'Restarter' Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
Heavy rock titans TORCHE make their Relapse debut with the thunderous 'Restarter', a ten song triumph of an album. TORCHE rose to popularity merging huge infectious melodies with downtuned, crushing sludgey rock and on 'Restarter' they've perfected the marriage. This is a record that is simultaneously hum-able and heavy that will just as easily appeal to fans of Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth as it will Melvins and High On Fire-heads. But what truly sets TORCHE apart from their peers is their ability to use top-notch songwriting and soaring, harmonic vocals to create records that are heavier and louder and hookier than anyone else out there.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Escape From Witchtropolis by Espectrostatic</span></b><br />
<br />
Exclusive Death Waltz colourway Coke Smoke (coke bottle clear with black & white swirls) Austin, TX musician Alex Cuervo turned a few heads last year with his new project Espectrostatic; his synth-based electronic project. Cuervo has been knocking around in garage & punk bands since the Nineties, playing in killer acts like the Hex Dispensers, Blacktop, This Damn Town and more, but Espectrostatic showed a different side. Espectrostatic’s s/t debut all but abandoned guitars in favor of spooky electronic pulses & synth drones a’la John Carpenter & Tangerine Dream. Cuervo is back at it with the follow up album “Escape From Witchtropolis”. “Escape From Witchtropolis” uses elements & themes laid out in the debut, but upping the anté with more sophisticated & subtle arrangements, letting the songs unfold organically, still inferring the presence of a soundtrack to an as-yet unmade horror flick. Opening with the brooding “Removing The Bandages”, the tone is set as the credits roll, before lurching into the title track “Escape From Witchtropolis”, whose motorik pulse hearkens back to the heyday of industrial dance music (Skinny Puppy, Cabaret Voltaire, Nitzer Ebb). Cuervo has a knack for keeping things taut & interesting, tunes like “The Feral Kids” with it’s tribal drums & synth squall tumble forward into more orchestrated tunes like “The Obelisk” before retreating inward into the cosmic headspace of “Sinking Into The Microverse” a head-turning drone masterpiece.<,/p> “Escape From Witchtropolis” conjures visions of musical ghosts past & present; Fabio Frizzi, John Carpenter, Umberto, Skinny Puppy, SPK, Zombi, Goblin & more all are imprinted on Espectrostatic, but Cuervo manages to maintain his own voice among the influences, concocting a cohesive & menacing sophomore album.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - THE IMITATION GAME</span></b><br />
<br />
Starring Keira Knightley, Benedict Cumberbatch and Matthew Goode, The Imitation Game portrays the race against time by Alan Turing and his team of top-secret British code-breakers during the darkest days of World War II. The film spans the key periods of Turing's life: his unhappy teenage years at boarding school; the triumph of his secret wartime work on the revolutionary electro-mechanical bombe that was capable of breaking 3,000 Enigma-generated naval codes a day; and the tragedy of his post-war decline following his conviction for gross indecency, a now-outdated criminal offence stemming from his admission of maintaining a homosexual relationship.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack is composed by Golden Globe and Grammy Award winning French composer Alexandre Desplat, who burst onto the Hollywood scene in 2003 with his evocative score to Girl With The Pearl Earring. From this point on he contributed the soundtracks to a rich collection of highly successful movies such as Syriana, Golden Compass, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Twilight Saga: New Moon, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (Part 1&2) and The King's Speech as well as Monuments Men.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING</span></b><br />
<br />
The Theory of Everything is the extraordinary and uplifting story of one of the world's greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, and of two people defying the steepest of odds through love. The film, based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen by Jane Hawking, is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (Man on Wire).<br />
<br />
The score for The Theory of Everything is by Icelandic Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson who has composed music for many films including his recent work scoring director Denis Villeneuvue's film Prisoners and Josh C. Waller's McCanick. Jóhannsson's intricate compositions provide a stunning backdrop to the romantic drama about Stephen and Jane Hawking, portrayed in the film by Eddie Redmayne (Les Misérables) and Felicity Jones (The Amazing Spider-Man 2).<br />
<br />
Jóhann has released several solo albums on the labels 4AD and Touch and is equally at home writing commissioned works for contemporary ensembles such as Bang On A Can and Theatre of Voices as he is collaborating with artists like Barry Adamson; Finnish electro band Pan Sonic, Marc Almond, The Hafler Trio, the nom de musique of English avant garde composer Andrew M. McKenzie, CAN drummer Jaki Liebezeit and Stephen O'Malley of the drone metal band Sunn O))).<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">HERBIE MANN - SURPRISES</span></b><br />
<br />
Surprises is a beautiful Soul Jazz album by flutist Herbie Mann, featuring singer Cissy Houston. Released on Atlantic Records in 1976, the album peaked at #32 on the Billboard Jazz Album chart, #56 on the Billboard R&B Album chart, and #178 on the Billboard 200.<br />
<br />
Emily "Cissy" Houston (born September 30, 1933) is an American Soul and Gospel singer. After a successful career singing backup for (albums of) such artists as Wilson Pickett, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, Donnie Hathaway, Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin, she embarked on a solo career, winning two Grammy Awards for her work. She is the mother of the late Whitney Houston, aunt of Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, and a cousin of opera singer Leontyne Price.<br />
<br />
On September 29, 2014, at 81 years old, Cissy sang backup to a standing-ovation performance with Aretha Franklin of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep' and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" on the Late Show with David Letterman. As the '76 liner notes say: "Cissy Houston. Only now is she beginning to emerge from her cocoon after so many years with the Drinkards and the Sweet Inspirations. Cissy...is showcased here like a star-in-waiting."<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">ROBBEN FORD - TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER</span></b><br />
<br />
On his 1988 solo effort Talk To Your Daughter, singer/guitarist Robben Ford proves himself a master of sophisticated Blues-Rock guitar playing. The material is quite strong, and all the musicians perform at the highest level, but it's Ford's stellar soloing that makes this release. Fans of flailing '80s Rock virtuosos would do well to check out Ford's exceptional work on Talk To Your Daughter. The musician's colorful yet controlled improvising and harmonic mastery is a rare and beautiful sonic treat.<br />
<br />
The title track is dripping with soulful, well-placed guitar lines that play like a master lesson of up-tempo blues phrasing that guitarists would do well to study. Other standouts include Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign" (which was used in Clint Eastwood's feature film Pink Cadillac) and "Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues".<br />
<br />
The fine arrangements and especially Vinnie Colaiuta's sharp drumming are all tightly wound with crisp, clear production that tops off the title track making it a shining success. The album also features Toto's Jeff Porcaro on drums on "I Got Over It". Listeners fond of Ford's work with the Yellowjackets and numerous side gigs, as well as guitarists and all musicians, should enjoy this very professional, succinctly executed offering. First rate!<br />

When cold sweat slowly trickles down your spine, goose-bumps crawl over your skin and your heart skips a beat as fear grips your throat in a firm choke hold then you have entered the realm of horror. CARACH ANGREN set out to claim the throne of this dark domain with their fourth full-length 'This Is No Fairytale'. The Dutch masters of horror metal have honed their weapons to sharp perfection. Flamboyant orchestral madness contrasts eerily with the icy buzzing of black metal inspired riffs coalescing into haunting melodies. Fiercely rasping vocals and the mercilessly rattling drums whip a terror-filled storyline forward into the waiting darkness. CARACH ANGREN once again step into an even more sinister dimension than before and even surpass the war-ridden nightmares portrayed on previous album 'Where The Corpses Sink Forever' (2012). CARACH ANGREN are ready to unleash the demons again in a dark tale of devilish witchcraft: 'This Is No Fairytale' is bound to put a spell on you and will continue to haunt your stereo for a long time to come.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Portastatic 'The Summer of the Shark' Vinyl Reissue</span></b><br />
<br />
Portastatic’s The Summer of the Shark is now available for the first time on vinyl as part of a monthly series of reissues to mark the 25th anniversary of Merge Records.<br />
<br />
Mac McCaughan, co-founder of Merge Records and frontman of the band Superchunk, began recording solo albums under the name Portastatic in the early ’90’s. Beginning with this album, Portastatic evolved from a lo-fi side project to become McCaughan’s main focus throughout Superchunk’s long hiatus in the early ’00s.<br />
<br />
McCaughan wrote the songs on The Summer of the Shark in 2001 while Superchunk was on tour in support of Here’s to Shutting Up, which was released mere days after the September 11 attacks and would be the band’s last studio album for nine years. The resulting batch of songs was the last Portastatic album recorded almost entirely at home; it was also the most emotionally resonant and musically compact collection to date.<br />
<br />
Upon the album’s release, then Chicago Tribune reporter John Cook wrote of the album: “It is the most effective and moving musical answer yet to what has happened to us over the last two years. Faced with an enormous catastrophe, McCaughan elected to make a small record. There are no heroes rushing up stairwells and no dissections of good and evil—only scared, confused people and local heartbreaks.”<br />
<br />
Recorded at McCaughan’s home studio in Chapel Hill, The Summer of the Shark includes contributions from Janet Weiss (Wild Flag, Quasi, Sleater-Kinney), Tony Crow (Lambchop), Margaret White (Versus, Matt Pond PA), Matthew McCaughan (Bon Iver, Hiss Golden Messenger), Aaron Oliva, and John Plymale.<br />
<br />
LP is pressed on white vinyl, and includes a coupon for a full download.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Ian Humberstone and David Chatton Barker 'Two Witches'</span></b><br />
<br />
Folklore Tapes go back to where it all began with a timely reissue of the debut title on the label, David Chatton-Barker and Ian Humberstone's Devon Folklore Tapes originally started life as a cassette housed inside a second hand hardback book hand made in an edition of 30 copies by David at the Finders Keepers office in Manchester sometime in 2011. Championed by the likes of Demdike Stare (who went onto release part of this cassette on there Pre-Cert Home Entertainment imprint) Two Witches is an eerie conceptual aural score representing the Devon residents Hannah Henley and Mariann Voaden, two 19th Century Devonshireites notorious for practicing witchcraft, the results come across somewhere between the spiky female post-punk group The Fates and the spellbinding soundtrack 'Valerie and Her Week Of Wonders' all with a 'Wicker Man' edge, from here the researchers went onto release searching works from Paper Dollhouse, Anworth Kirk, Children Of Alice, Magpahi & Sam Mcloughlin all looking to the myths surrounding Great Britain’s extensive past.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Pre-Order WITCHERY 'Symphony For The Devil' (Clear 2LP)</span></b><br />
<br />
Witchery is a Swedish thrash/speed metal band, formed by former members of Satanic Slaughter in 1997. Witchery quickly gathered a cult following with their combination of serious, technical thrash metal and all topics "dead". Their strictly tongue-in-cheek humour, often involving executions, murder, necrophilia, resurrections and other morbid topics can be spotted in song titles and album names as well as in their very own mascot - an animated skeleton called "Ben Wrangle."<br />
<br />
Symphony For The Devil is Witchery's third full-length studio album. It was released in 2001 and has received underground acclaim from metal fanzines and webzines. The album continues in the style of previous Witchery releases, with thrash metal riffing and solos, but with a black and death metal influence. This album sees Martin Axe of Opeth on drums, after the departure of former Witchery drummer Mique.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">The Rolling Stones From The Vault - L.A. Forum (Live In 1975) </span></b><br />
<br />
“From The Vault” is a new series of live concerts from The Rolling Stones archive which are getting their first official release. “L.A. Forum – Live In 1975” is the second title in this series. The Rolling Stones’ “Tour Of The Americas ‘75” was the band’s first tour with new guitarist Ronnie Wood. Even before the dates started there were dramatic scenes in New York City at the official tour announcement when the band unexpectedly turned up on a flatbed truck to play “Brown Sugar”. After a couple of low key warm-up shows in Louisiana the tour took in 44 dates between the 3rd June and the 8th August 1975. They settled into the L.A. Forum for a five night stint from July 9th to 13th and this concert film features the show from July 12th. The footage has now been carefully restored and the sound has been newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain for this first official release of the show.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Pre-Order of Montreal's New Album 'Aureate Gloom'</span></b><br />
<br />
“A golden despondency” is how Kevin Barnes translates the meaning behind Aureate Gloom, the title he gave of Montreal’s thirteenth full-length album.<br />
<br />
The oxymoron is one Barnes says best describes the overall state of his life and mental outlook while working on the record: first on a writing retreat in New York City, then while demoing tracks in Athens, before finally recording at Sonic Ranch, just across the border from Juarez, Mexico in the Texan desert.<br />
<br />
If you’re wondering what exactly would lead Barnes to use this epithet to describe his reality at the time, look no further than the songs themselves.<br />
<br />
While many bands rely on vague platitudes as an attempt to make their songs universally applicable, Barnes chooses to take the opposite tact — penning lyrics so personal they sound like entries ripped from a journal that should be permanently kept under lock and key.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Pre-Order Camper Van Beethoven Vinyl Reissue of 'New Roman Times'</span></b><br />
<br />
Camper Van Beethoven’s 2004 reunion release expanded and reissued!<br />
<br />
Camper Van Beethoven reunited in 2000 and even recorded and released a pair of records, but it was 2004’s New Roman Times that was the “official” document of the band’s reformation. The band’s David Lowery states in his liner notes, that it was “the one that got all the press and fanfare. And it was a good thing, because it was an extremely ambitious record.”<br />
<br />
Omnivore Recordings is proud to celebrate New Roman Times by presenting an expanded reissue on CD, Digital and double LP (with download card). Released in conjunction with the band, and following in the footsteps of last year’s Omnivore reissues of Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart and Key Lime Pie (both still available on CD and LP), New Roman Times features new artwork, extensive notes from Lowery and four previously unissued tracks culled from the sessions.<br />
<br />
This definitive edition of Camper Van Beethoven’s “sci-fi alternate-reality rock opera” not only brings the fan favorite to vinyl for the first time, but expands and presents all formats in a way that proves these are indeed New Roman Times!<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 8, 2014</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DEAR JERRY:</b><i> In 2009 I was the winner in an eBay auction of "KISS - The Originals" LP, a factory sealed copy with original cover sticker and bonus inserts.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It cost me a little over $900, but I thought it was a bargain because several others that I previously bid on unsuccessfully went for $1,200 to $1,600.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>That is until just a few weeks ago when I saw another sealed "KISS - The Originals" sell to the highest eBay bidder for just $340. My hope of having gotten a bargain was crushed.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What happened? Was there a newly-discovered quantity dumped in the marketplace?</i><br />
<i>—Dave Schaffer, Hobbs, N.M.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0yrXyaZ3hac/VIiFWzw1-zI/AAAAAAAAi2Q/YCj_37IQlL0/s1600/KISS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0yrXyaZ3hac/VIiFWzw1-zI/AAAAAAAAi2Q/YCj_37IQlL0/s1600/KISS.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<b>DEAR DAVE:</b> Imagine how much worse you would feel if you were one of those KISS fans in 2009 who shelled out $1,500 or more for "The Originals."<br />
<br />
As for a recent quantity dump, there is nothing to suggest that happening.<br />
<br />
It just seems 2009 was the bull market for this album, and prices have fallen steadily since that peak.<br />
<br />
One possibility is that aggressive bidders five years ago could not have known that the supply factor in the law of supply and demand — the two essentials that create value — would not soon dry up.<br />
<br />
Of course it didn't, and "The Originals" — specifically first pressings issued in the summer of 1976 — sold for less than in years past.<br />
<br />
There is even one documented sale at $305. That's $35 less than the transaction that gave you the blues.<br />
<br />
As with stocks and other types of investments, a downturn in the market doesn't hurt if you're not planning to sell. Hopefully, if they haven't already done so, prices will soon hit bottom and then begin a correction cycle.<br />
<br />
Coincidentally, our next topic also involves an all-caps, four-letter group and a record currently worth about what a "KISS - The Originals" sold for in 2009.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DEAR JERRY:</b> <i>I just received an instant message from an ABBA collector in Sweden, who found out that I also collect ABBA.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Knowing that I have better access to information about U.S. releases than he does, he wants to know if I've ever heard of a 1960s or early '70s single that is either "Bobbi" by ABBA, or "Abba" by someone named Bobbi.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Obviously I know nothing about this or I wouldn't be asking for your help. Can you make any sense out of it?</i><br />
<i>—Jessica Anslee, Chillicothe, Ohio</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PI5BjRgZSQ8/VIiFesRmWZI/AAAAAAAAi2Y/rWrmaMESPe8/s1600/abba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PI5BjRgZSQ8/VIiFesRmWZI/AAAAAAAAi2Y/rWrmaMESPe8/s1600/abba.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<b>DEAR JESSICA: </b>It really does make sense, and I can even understand the confusion over Abba and Bobbi.<br />
<br />
However, other than the title, which in this case is "Abba," there is no connection whatsoever to the Swedish super group of super troupers: Agnetha Fältskog; Björn Ulvaeus; Benny Andersson; and Anni-Frid ("Frida") Lyngstad.<br />
<br />
In fact, this "Abba" song came out in 1967, about five years before the forming of ABBA, the group.<br />
<br />
"Abba" is by the Paragons, a North Carolina teenage garage band comprised of Johnny Pace; Bobby Pace; Pat Walters; Tim Moore; and Danny Huntley.<br />
<br />
Bobbi is the name of the record label, an appropriate connection since Barbara "Bobbi" Cashman was both the owner of the company and the Paragons' business manager.<br />
<br />
Knowing this "Abba," merely a girl's name, would add nothing significant to his ABBA collection should give your Swedish friend relief on one front. He won't be faced with unnecessarily parting with from 12,000 to 14,000 kronor (approximately $1,600 to $1,800), the current price range for the Bobbi 45.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>IZ ZAT SO? </b>"Abba," backed with "Mister You're A Better Man Than I" (Bobbi 7352), is the only known record by those Paragons. Because of it they did gain some notoriety in their home area around Charlotte.<br />
<br />
At least five other groups named Paragons made records in the 1950s and '60s, but none ever cracked the Top 80 on the national charts.<br />
<br />
Regionally, the Paragons from Brooklyn were somewhat successful on the New York R&B scene in 1957 with "Florence" (Winley 215) and "Let's Start All Over Again" (sang as "Let's Start It Over Again") (Winley 220).<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">SOUNDTRACK (OST) - THE IMITATION GAME</span></b><br />
<br />
The soundtrack is composed by Golden Globe and Grammy Award winning French composer Alexandre Desplat, who burst onto the Hollywood scene in 2003 with his evocative score to Girl With The Pearl Earring. From this point on he contributed the soundtracks to a rich collection of highly successful movies such as Syriana, Golden Compass, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Twilight Saga: New Moon, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (Part 1&2) and The King’s Speech as well as Monuments Men.<br />
<br />
Starring Keira Knightley, Benedict Cumberbatch and Matthew Goode, The Imitation Game portrays the race against time by Alan Turing and his team of top-secret British code-breakers during the darkest days of World War II. The film spans the key periods of Turing’s life: his unhappy teenage years at boarding school; the triumph of his secret wartime work on the revolutionary electro-mechanical bombe that was capable of breaking 3,000 Enigma-generated naval codes a day; and the tragedy of his post-war decline following his conviction for gross indecency, a now-outdated criminal offence stemming from his admission of maintaining a homosexual relationship.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">GUANO APES - PROUD LIKE A GOD</span></b><br />
<br />
Proud Like A God is the debut album of German Alternative Rock band Guano Apes. The album was released in 1997 and it includes the hit singles “Open Your Eyes”, “Rain” and “Lords Of The Boards”.<br />
<br />
The album was certified Platinum in Germany and Switzerland. Sandra Nasić’s vocal range and calling the album a “well-blended mix of sweet Pop and bruising Rock, with a little bit of electronica- informed loops and ambience thrown in for good measure.<br />
<br />
The album made them a popular European concert draw with its punk- and alternative-flavored Hard Rock, establishing them enough for RCA to issue the album in the U.S. in 1999.<br />
<br />
The first pressing of this Nineties Euro alternative classic will come in transparent green/black vinyl, with every copy numbered.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">SOUNDTRACK (OST) - THE BIG GUNDOWN </span></b><br />
<br />
ENNIO MORRICONE’s legendary score for THE BIG GUNDOWN (Italian LA RESA DEI CONTI) is so densely packed with pathos and drama that run so deep into the listener’s mind. Using almost the same great talents shown on SERGIO LEONE’s “The DOLLAR’s Trilogy” with the orchestra conducted by fellow BRUNO NICOLAI and the mighty twangin’ guitar of ALESSANDRO ALESSANDRONI, the MAESTRO Morricone deliver similarly outstanding results!<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">BoySetsFire's 'The Misery Index: Notes from the Plague Years' Vinyl Reissue </span></b><br />
<br />
Back in 2006, after releasing a record on the same label that invaded early 2000's modern rock radio with Creed and Evanescence, post-hardcore veterans BoySetsFire returned to Equal Vision Records for the North American release of their lauded fourth studio album, The Misery Index: Notes from the Plague Years, with Epitaph imprint Burning Heart handling worldwide release. The record appeared on Billboard's Top Heatseekers and Top Independent Albums charts and expanded the band's sonic palette (piano, string instruments, horn sections) beyond their already adventurous, aggressive and melodic sound. "It is pertinent, it is intelligent, it deals with issues that should be dealt with, and it does so in a listener-friendly manner," said Punknews.org in a 4.5/5 review upon release. "It's the album that BSF needed to make, and they came through with resounding success.”<br />
<br />
The Misery Index: Notes from the Plague Years was never made available on vinyl in the U.S. when originally released, and now Bridge Nine is proud to release the album for vinyl collectors stateside. For the first time ever, this landmark BSF release will get the deluxe B9 vinyl treatment it deserves; colored vinyl, bonus download code, poster insert, and more.<br />
<br />
Look for this to be available in stores and online as of January 13th, 2015.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">The Standells LIVE ON TOUR-1966! 180 Gram Vinyl Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
The Standells’ amazing string of punkish, tough-guy anthems, like “Dirty Water” and “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White”, define the legacy of mid-sixties garage rock like nothing else. With the success of these records came ’66 tours with the Rolling Stones and Beach Boys. From all reports, the Standells proved a superb live act. But for decades, their on-stage reputation rested on an earlier, Pre-Tower label live album documenting the Standells in an unrecognizably clean-cut night club incarnation. But there’s a happy ending to this story. It turns out the Standells were in fact recorded at their peak, LIVE ON TOUR-1966! At last, here’s the whole knock-out live act from the year the Standells stormed the charts. All the ’66 hits are here including “Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White”, “Why Pick On Me?” and of course, “Dirty Water” (in tremendous versions, all of them). Fan faves are also on board, like the fuzzed-out “Mr. Nobody” and stomping “Why Did You Hurt Me”. Highlights also include high energy covers of “Midnight Hour” and “Please, Please, Please”, to name just a few of these crowd-pleasers, showcasing the Standells’ R&B roots updated with ’66 sheen. Hearing the Standells’ road-tested, extended take on “Gloria” is not to be missed, either! Rescued from a professionally recorded concert at the University of Michigan, the Standells are captured in astonishingly clean sound that rivals their legendary studio recordings. This may just be the finest recorded example of vintage live ’66 American garage rock. It’s all here, the Standells in brilliant sound and in a superb package including rare photos and liner notes.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">The Shadows of Knight LIVE 1966 180 Gram Vinyl Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
Besides releasing two classic longplayers and many more singles (including the smash, “Gloria”), touring/behaving badly all across America and appearing on TV shows like ‘Upbeat’ and ‘Where The Action Is’, the Shadows of Knight also ruled at suburban Chicago’s hands-down hippest teen club, The Cellar. Over the decades, their Cellar performances have become the stuff of legend. Miraculously, two reels of tape of the Shadows of Knight live on stage at the Cellar (in 1966!) were eventually uncovered by Sundazed. As early as their ‘Gloria’ album debut in spring ’66, the Shadows of Knight had separated themselves from the garage band pack with a heavily Chicago Blues-based, wildly rocking repertoire. Their trademark sound is on full display in this attitude-drenched, anarchic live recording from late in that exalted year. For this expanded edition, the original sets and correct song sequence have been faithfully restored. And to top that, additional and until now completely unheard bonus material is rescued from those old reels. Specifically, added to an already scorching set are previously-unheard takes of “Peepin’ and Hidin’” (sung by blues legend Joe Kelley), “Willie Jean” (with a vocal from drummer Tom Schiffour) and “Any Way That You Want Me”. Equally important, the packaging now equals the musical contents thanks to an all-new, eye grabbing sleeve highlighted by John Hora’s amazing original photography from ’66. Unlike their comparatively harnessed studio recordings, the Shadows of Knight are presented here raw ‘n’ alive, sloppy bordering on brilliant and with all the subtlety of a bulldozer. Would you want ‘em any other way? <br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Various Artists - KING STRINGS 180 Gram Vinyl Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
JOHN LEE HOOKER, ALBERT KING, JOHNNY “GUITAR” WATSON and more on 180 Gram Vinyl Pressed at R.T.I. Selected from the crown jewels of the rich King-Federal-DeLuxe discography, King Strings features rocking, socking guitar instrumentals from the Cincinnati-based family of labels cut between 1949 and 1962, programmed for power! Fashioned as a vintage King LP from the era and containing a killer line-up of the biggest talents the stable of labels offered, this is the historic various artists collection that should have been issued circa 1962. King was central to the underlying creative flow in R&B during the era, and the recordings here show the depth of style and synergy that the label routinely captured on vinyl. From the proto-funk groove of Hooker’s “Stomp Boogie” (under the pseudonym Texas Slim) to two cuts of Baker magic captured in Paris over a decade later, and including key cuts from Freddy King, Albert King, Johnny “Guitar” Watson and many others in between, you’ll individually hear a variety of instruments, tones and techniques, but together the clear, common artistry of the players’ sovereign ability, sequenced like a long, climactic solo—this is the sound of some of the most heralded talent of the guitar generation! Includes a rich, detailed insert with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Colin Escott. Join six-string soul royalty for a showcase from the company that called itself The King of Them All!<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">CHICKEN SHACK - IN THE CAN</span></b><br />
<br />
Chicken Shack's In The Can, a masterful compilation of their finest songs, includes tracks culled from their albums 40 Blue Fingers… 100 Ton Chicken and OK Ken? These tracks include tunes such as "Webbed Feet", "San Ho-Zay", "See See Baby", "A Woman Is The Blues", "Sad Clown" and of course their best known hit "I'd Rather Go Blind".<br />
<br />
Formed in 1964, they settled on the name Chicken Shack a year later, inspired by Jimmy Smith's album Back At The Chicken Shack and blues staples such as "Chicken Shack Boogie". In the first couple of years the band particularly honed their skills by playing lots of gigs at the legendary Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany. The band featured Christine Perfect, who left once she married Fleetwood Mac's John McVie. By the early '70ies, most other band members had also moved on to other bands - such as Traffic, Savoy Brown and Jethro Tull. To this day, frontman Stan Webb remains the band's only constant member.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">THE KALEIDOSCOPE - SIDE TRIPS</span></b><br />
<br />
The Kaleidoscope was an American psychedelic folk and ethnic band who recorded 4 albums and several singles for Epic Records between 1966 and 1970. They were one of the progenitors of World Music. Side Trips was the band's 1967 debut album. On the album each member played many instruments; for example, David Lindley played guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin, and Solomon Feldthouse played saz, bouzouki, dobro, vina, oud, doumbek, dulcimer, fiddle, guitar, and vocals.<br />
<br />
The group was founded on democratic principles – there was no "leader". The first single, "Please" was released in December 1966. It was produced by Barry Friedman (later known as Frazier Mohawk), as was their first album Side Trips, released in June 1967. The album showcased The Kaleidoscope's musical diversity and studio experimentation. It included Feldthouse's "Egyptian Gardens", Darrow's "Keep Your Mind Open", and versions of Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" and Dock Boggs' "Oh Death".<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Nonesuch Punch Brothers’ T Bone Burnett–Produced "The Phosphorescent Blues" Vinyl Due On January 27</span></b><br />
<br />
Nonesuch releases Punch Brothers’ T Bone Burnett–produced The Phosphorescent Blues on January 27, 2015, with the vinyl to follow on February 24. The vinyl edition includes four additional tracks not available elsewhere. The Phosphorescent Blues is available to pre-order with instant downloads of the album tracks "I Blew It Off" and "Julep."<br />
<br />
After working with Burnett numerous times—most recently on the soundtrack for the Joel and Ethan Coen film Inside Llewyn Davis and the related Town Hall/Showtime concert Another Day, Another Time—Punch Brothers decided to join forces with the multiple Grammy Award–winning producer for their new record. Last summer, the band and Burnett spent a month at Hollywood’s Ocean Way Recording laying down the songs that guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjo player Noam Pikelny, mandolinist and lead singer Chris Thile, and fiddler Gabe Witcher had written during several writing “retreats” last winter and spring.<br />
<br />
Thile explains one of the ways the music on The Phosphorescent Blues reflects the band’s view of modern life: “We often go to bars after shows or writing sessions, to be around other people for a little while.And I’d see people just like me on their phones, telling people they wish they were there, texting people who really are there. Then a song would come on that somebody likes and then they see that someone else does too and maybe they both sing it together and that moment is spiritual, some shared experience, and they are interacting in the flesh, with their fellow man. And that’s communion. Many of the songs on this record dive into that: how do we cultivate beautiful, three-dimensional experiences with our fellow man in this day and age?”<br />
<br />
Shortly before the sessions began, Thile and Witcher met with Burnett and discovered the producer had the very same things on his mind. In fact, he’d just given a commencement address at the University of Southern California on the subject of technology and human interaction. Witcher remembers, “Thile and I looked at each and said, ‘This is unbelievable. It’s exactly what we are writing about.’ So this was a perfect, serendipitous union.”<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Various Artists - Decadubs 5 EP</span></b><br />
<br />
Capping off the Hyperdub 10 compilation series in fine style, Decadubs 5 features among other things a never-before-released track from the elusive Burial. 'Lambeth' is a future South London anthem, picking up where 'Wolf Cub' left off, the track finds Burial in a contemplative mood, proper late night backseat bus window illuminated by the stars gear, woodblock percussion rolling along while synths sparkle through the cold night air. The rest of the double pack does not disappoint; the first 12" features the late night jamz of Cooly G's 'Love Again' and the Kode9 epic 'Oh' while the second 12" features future UKF anthem 'Vice Versa' from Funkystepz. Cooly G's 'Him Da Biz', Hyperdub staple DVA's creeping 'Monophonic Nightmare' and a killer reworking of Martyn's 'Mega Drive Generation' by Dorian Concept. All in all a great end to a killer series of releases celebrating ten years at the top, here's to ten more!<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">IMPALERS - Psychedelic Snutskallar</span></b><br />
<br />
Well damn, here we are again. Another LP from Austin, TX boss hogs IMPALERS. In the modern climate of music, nothing sticks. Every week there is a new cool 7" or tape making the rounds on social media, littering your feed with bandcamp demos and instragamed cassette j cards. Its hard to keep up, yet an amazing time of stimulation and excitement for punks worldwide. But in the midst of all this madness, its nice to know you can count on Impalers every year to release the best record of the year. Unless you live under a rock, you probably already know what to expect from these guys. Their LP last year topped year end charts high and low. And Psychedelic Snutskallar does damage in all the same places. Peerless d-beat, a work of art. Completely unhinged yet tight and in the pocket. This time they have upped the ante with a monstrous opening track that takes up the whole A side at a never boring 11-minute length. Tripped out artwork and packing concept by SAM RYSER (Crazy Spirit, Dawn of Humans, Dripper World) and reworked material from short lived side project SICK PLOT make this 12" EP a no brainer. 1,000 copies pressed.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">The Killjoys 'Naive' Vinyl Reissue</span></b><br />
<br />
Before Kevin Rowland discovered the joys of making menswear and even before he launched Dexys Midnight Runners he was the lead singer in this great punk band from the Midlands. Originally called Lucy & The Lovers and more jazz orientated, Kevin caught the first of a series of wind of changes and hitched a ride on punk with his girlfriend Heather on backing vocals and the gorgeous Gem on bass whom he exploited to the full even encouraging her wearing of sexually alluring clothing!!!! One single Johnny Won’t Get To Heaven / Naive Records 1977). Raw Classic amphetamine punk. Another great track ‘At Night’ on the Raw Deal compilation album. One other known song – Recognition – floating around on an album ‘Naive’ on Damaged Goods released in 1991. They were supposed to be making tapes for an album but they split before anything happened and a supposed deal with Bronze was scuppered by Mr Rowland.<br />
<br />
Around mid 77 they lost Heather and Joe 90 (on Kevin’s insistence probably) and acquired a new drummer, Bob Peach, and guitarist Keith Rimell and became virtually a different band as Mr Rowland again sought to jump ship. If you get a chance check out the two John Peel radio sessions they did to hear the difference. Great footage of them performing ‘Johnny’ and ‘At Night’ on the Punk In London video.<br />
<br />
Forget Gaye Advert, Gem was a star on bass! Bless them all. Gem / Gil was in fact short for Ghislaine! She formed Alternating before going on to join Girlschool replacing Enid on bass after being recommended to the band by Lemmy! Sadly rumour has it that Heather died. And lastly from his majesty Mr Rowland himself these words from Mojo October 2001. “There was no doubt in my mind that I was at least as passionate and angry and as from the street as any punk rock singer you could name. But it was wrong for me to try to be part of someone else’s thing.”<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 1, 2014</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<b>DEAR JERRY:</b> <i>Despite several visits to our county library, I confess to be being stumped by this trivia question: </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What song has been recorded thousands of times, by hundreds of different artists, yet has only been a pop hit twice, and less than two years apart? Each version was a Top 15 hit. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>If you have the answer I gladly admit I threw in the towel and called on a higher power. </i><br />
<i>—Clair Lewis, Jacksonville, Fla. </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0oKFYYN4yg/VIBz4A0yPaI/AAAAAAAAixM/MrixnsFPluw/s1600/Judycollins_20090205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0oKFYYN4yg/VIBz4A0yPaI/AAAAAAAAixM/MrixnsFPluw/s1600/Judycollins_20090205.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<b>DEAR CLAIR:</b> What we have here is an amazing slice of music trivia, and I mean that in more ways than one.<br />
<br />
The only song perfectly matching the clues you provide is "Amazing Grace."<br />
<br />
This story begins in the 18th century, with John Newton and William Cowper, two British preachers in Olney, Buckinghamshire, who regularly wrote poems and hymns for use in their services.<br />
<br />
One such composition, eventually published in 1779, evolved into what is known as "Amazing Grace," though it would be another 60 years before the familiar melody long associated with Newton's words was added.<br />
<br />
Most estimates of the number of distinct "Amazing Grace" recordings range from 6,500 to 7,000, but, as you know, only two made the singles charts at all, much less the Top 15.<br />
<br />
First came an a cappella version by Judy Collins, from a live concert and backed by a chorus of her friends and acquaintances (Elektra 45709). Issued in December 1970, "Amazing Grace" ranks as Judy's third biggest hit ever, after "Both Sides Now" and "Send in the Clowns."<br />
<br />
Just 17 months after Judy's recording faded away, an atypical instrumental of "Amazing Grace" started heading up the charts.<br />
<br />
This oddity, a UK import by the Pipes and Drums and the Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, featured a bagpipe, an instrument very rarely heard on hit records.<br />
<br />
Understandingly, the Brits loved this recording, and it held the No. 1 position on their New Musical Express chart for four weeks in the spring of 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DEAR JERRY: </b><i>One of the oldies channels played "Venus" by Frankie Avalon, then followed it with "Venus" by Shocking Blue. They then made a comment about how unusual it is to have two different songs, with the same title, both reaching No. 1. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Other than "Venus," are there many other songs that accomplished this? </i><br />
<i>—Randall Woodside, Dover, Del. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YS9AwcFqC2o/VIB0DDSbiJI/AAAAAAAAixU/RSIqUX0DMTc/s1600/Shocking_Blue_Venus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YS9AwcFqC2o/VIB0DDSbiJI/AAAAAAAAixU/RSIqUX0DMTc/s1600/Shocking_Blue_Venus.jpg" /></a></div>
<b>DEAR RANDALL: </b>Let's find out, as my research on your behalf begins in 1949, the first year of the 45 rpm single, "the little record with the big hole."<br />
<br />
From then to now I spotted 14 occasions (including "Venus") where two completely different songs, that share the same title, topped the U.S. singles charts — plus one ("My Love") that did it three times:<br />
<br />
"All 4 Love" Color Me Badd (1992)<br />
"All for Love" Bryan Adams-Rod Stewart-Sting (1994)<br />
"Best of My Love" Eagles (1975)<br />
"Best of My Love" Emotions (1977)<br />
"Big Girls Don't Cry" 4 Seasons (1962)<br />
"Big Girls Don't Cry" Fergie (2007)<br />
"Butterfly" Charlie Gracie/Andy Williams (1957)<br />
"Butterfly" Crazy Town (2001)<br />
"Family Affair" Sly and the Family Stone (1971)<br />
"Family Affair" Mary J. Blige (2001)<br />
"Good Vibrations" Beach Boys (1966)<br />
"Good Vibrations" Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (1991)<br />
"Honey" Bobby Goldsboro (1968)<br />
"Honey" Mariah Carey (1997)<br />
"I'm Sorry" Brenda Lee (1960)<br />
"I'm Sorry" John Denver (1975)<br />
"Jump" Van Halen (1984)<br />
"Jump" Kris Kross (1992)<br />
"My Love" Petula Clark (1966)<br />
"My Love" Paul McCartney and Wings (1973)<br />
"My Love" Justin Timberlake Featuring T.I. (2006)<br />
"One More Try" George Michael (1988)<br />
"One More Try" Timmy -T- (1991)<br />
"Someday" Vaughn Monroe (1949)<br />
"Someday" Mariah Carey (1991)<br />
"Take a Bow" Madonna (1995)<br />
"Take a Bow" Rihanna (2008)<br />
"Venus" Frankie Avalon (1959)<br />
"Venus" Shocking Blue (1970)<br />
"Wild, Wild West" Escape Club (1988)<br />
"Wild Wild West" Will Smith with Dru Hill and Kool Mo Dee (1999)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>IZ ZAT SO? </b>Since the above topic required a careful examination of each No. 1 hit, I noticed how few of those titles are one word, having no more than three letters (parenthetical subtitles excluded).<br />
<br />
During the four-decade vinyl era, only seven titles qualify. Of those, three are from the same year, and two are by the same person.<br />
<br />
Listed chronologically:<br />
"If" Perry Como (1951)<br />
"Sin" Eddy Howard (1951)<br />
"Cry" Johnny Ray and the Four Lads (1951)<br />
"Why" Frankie Avalon (1959)<br />
"War" Edwin Starr (1970)<br />
"Ben" Michael Jackson (1972)<br />
"Bad" Michael Jackson (1987)<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">NEW COOL COLLECTIVE - ELECTRIC MONKEY SESSIONS</span></b><br />
<br />
New Cool Collective's fifteenth album Electric Monkey Sessions refers to the sound studio in Amsterdam where the recordings were made. They have drawn inspiration from Senegalese Orchestra Baobab, as well as psychedelic cumbia, Cape Town, Italian cinema and many major jazz heroes. Electric Monkey Sessions also features two unique tracks recorded at a beach-side studio in Dakar with local musicians the band met on one of their many international adventures.<br />
<br />
In 1993 saxophonist Benjamin Herman began experimenting with DJ Graham B at nightclub Soul Kitchen in Amsterdam. The combination of playing live to spinning records was still unusual then. But the results worked and ended up evolving into the eight-piece New Cool Collective. The band is now impossible to think away from the nightclubs and festivals of the Netherlands and beyond.<br />
<br />
The line-up of New Cool Collective is made up of saxophonist Benjamin Herman, drummer Joost Kroon, percussionists Frank van Dok and Jos de Haas, pianist Willem Friede, bassist Leslie Lopez, guitarist Rory Ronde and trumpet-player David Rockefeller.<br />
<br />
New Cool Collective's fifteenth album Electric Monkey Sessions refers to the sound studio in Amsterdam where the recordings were made. A new studio for the band, and a new style of recording, which means a whole new vibe compared to previous albums. New Cool Collective has drawn inspiration from Senegalese Orchestra Baobab, as well as psychedelic cumbia, Cape Town, Italian cinema and many major jazz heroes. Electric Monkey Sessions also features two unique tracks recorded at a beach-side studio in Dakar with local musicians the band met on one of their many international adventures.<br />
This autumn New Cool Collective are on tour. The eight-piece band is well known for the total commitment with which they convey the energy and emotion of their albums live on stage.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">RODRIGUEZ - COLD FACT</span></b><br />
<br />
Cold Fact is the debut album from American singer-songwriter Rodriguez. It was released in the United States on the Sussex label in March 1970. The album sold very poorly in the United States (Rodriguez was himself an unknown in the U.S.), but managed to sell well in both South Africa and Australia, with Rodriguez touring Australia in 1979.<br />
<br />
In 1971 the album was released in South Africa by A&M Records, who were by then the owners of the Sussex label. In 1976, several thousand copies of Cold Fact were found in a New York warehouse and sold out in Australia in a few weeks. It went to No. 23 on the Australian album charts, staying on the charts for 55 weeks. In 1998 Cold Fact was awarded a platinum disc in South Africa, and was five-times platinum in Australia. Rodriguez has since toured South Africa and Australia with much success, but remained relatively unknown in his native country of the USA. This began to change after the reissues of his albums in the U.S. by Light in the Attic Records in 2008 and 2009, and even further in 2012 with the Academy Award winning documentary film Searching for Sugar Man, which soon led to appearances on major American television shows like 60 Minutes and The Late Show with David Letterman.<br />
<br />
Cold Fact was featured as a "Buried Treasure" in the August 2002 issue of Mojo.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Trip Shakespeare's 'Are You Shakespearienced?' Vinyl Reissue</span></b><br />
<br />
Expanded reissue of Minneapolis icons’ sophomore release!<br />
<br />
After the release of Trip Shakepeare’s debut—Applehead Man—band leader Matt Wilson’s brother, Grammy® winning songwriter Dan Wilson joined the fold as a permanent member. The original trio became a quartet and self-released Are You Shakespearienced? in 1988.<br />
<br />
Omnivore is pleased to continue following the legacy of Trip Shakespeare with a reissue of the band’s 2nd album—which now includes 9 bonus tracks, 8 previously unissued.<br />
<br />
Are You Shakespearienced? (co-produced by the band’s John Munson) will be released in a digipak with liner notes from Jon Niccum (author of The Worst Gig), and previously unseen photos. The LP (first pressing on translucent green vinyl, with black to follow) contains the original nine tracks, liners and photos, and a download card for the entire CD program.<br />
<br />
Are You Shakespearienced? would find Trip Shakespeare not only being courted by the major labels, but eventually signing to A&M Records. Later, John Munson and Dan Wilson would go on to form Semisonic, but now is the time to get Shakespearienced!<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Old 97's 'Hitchhike To Rhome' Vinyl Reissue</span></b><br />
<br />
Old 97's classic debut gets an expanded 20th Anniversary reissue!<br />
<br />
The Old 97’s burst onto the alt-country scene in 1994 with their debut, Hitchhike To Rhome. To celebrate this anniversary, Omnivore Recordings is proud to reissue Hitchhike with an expanded release on 2-CD, Digital, and—for the first time—on double LP!<br />
<br />
When band member, and set co-producer, Ken Bethea was revisiting the original tapes for this reissue, he discovered a whopping eight extra tracks cut at the album sessions—many of which the band hadn’t even remembered recording. It seemed the perfect time and place to bring those previously unissued songs to light and add the tracks from their first four song demo cassette to round out the early picture of the 97’s.<br />
<br />
The 2-CD version of Hitchhike To Rhome contains the original album, coupled with a 2nd disc of those 12 rare and unreleased tracks, many mixed from the original multi-tracks for the first time by longtime Old 97’s engineer Rip Rowan. The double LP (limited edition first pressing on translucent orange vinyl) features the LP on 3 sides with 6 of the recently unearthed tracks on the 4th. The download card included gives the buyer the complete 2-CD program. Both formats include rare photos, memorabilia and notes from Bethea.<br />
<br />
From the Too Far To Care reissue complete with demos, (also available separately on vinyl as They Made A Monster), to their sessions with the great Waylon Jennings, Omnivore continues to add to the Old 97’s legacy with this integral, early part of their history and catalog.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Dances in Dreams of the Known Unknown by The Skull Defekts</span></b><br />
<br />
When the Skull Defekts entered the studio in the Spring of 2013 with nothing more than a collection of loosely organized riffs, they set out to record their most extreme, challenging rock record. Much to the band’s surprise, what emerged were their most incessantly listenable, approachable songs to date. The Defekts merge the coarse vitality of punk with the ritualism of folk dances to create music that is addictive, wondrously discordant, and rooted in a belief in the overwhelming power of pure sound. Dances in Dreams of the Known Unknown is the Swedish group’s third release as a quintet, with the legendary Daniel Higgs joining Joachim Nordwall and Daniel Fagerstroem on vocal duties and acting as the group’s spiritual ringleader. The Defekts have long acted as the backbone of the Swedish experimental underground, but since their 2011 breakthrough Peer Amid, the group has emerged at the vanguard of a new wave of radical Scandinavian rock music alongside Iceage and the Posh Isolation label.<br />
<br />
From the opening patter of “Pattern of Thoughts” to the propulsive chants of “Cyborganization,” Dances in Dreams of the Known Unknown feeds on the tension between lean and bright song production and the hefty, sometimes surreal sounds produced by Nordwall and Fagerstroem’s guitars. Daniel Higgs’ spontaneous, metaphoric poetry is as perplexing as ever, but it is delivered with a clarity not heard since his days fronting Lungfish. Album centerpiece “The Known Unknown” is centered around a driving riff, with Nordwall turning the song’s title into a mantra as intense as it is transcendent. Throughout, the group anchors their riffs with exotic sustained chords, adding a distinctly Carnatic flavor.<br />
<br />
LP version includes an artworked inner sleeve and free download card. High gloss UV printing on LP jacket.<br />
<br />
EXCLUSIVE LP MAILORDER EDITION AVAILABLE : 500 copies are pressed on gold vinyl and will only be sold on Thrill Jockey's website and the band's merch table.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Tilts - Cuatro Hombres - PINK CLEAR COLORED VINYL 12''</span></b><br />
<br />
The St. Louis quartet TILTS return with 10 brand new tracks of killer rock and roll on Cuatro Hombres, with just enough spice to keep things nice! Guitarist/vocalist Andrew Elstner splits his time between TILTS and TORCHE and can sing like a mofo! These soaring vocals land atop catchy songs both heavy and melodic.<br />
<br />
Once again, the band's drummer Ken McCray self-recorded this at Marmadook Studios, then had Richmond, Virginia engineer Ian Whalen (RAH BRAHS, TOMBS, LAMB OF GOD) mix the beast. James Plotkin (ISIS, CAVE IN, THOU) carefully mastered the final banger specifically for vinyl, and separately for the included high-quality digital download.<br />
<br />
Rounded out by bassist Shawn Hart and guitar player Andy White, TILTS triumphantly deliver a seriously infectious sophomore album with 10 songs of "ALL KILLER NO FILLER" rock music! Like the debut LP, Tom Huck's brilliant woodcut artwork adorns the sleeve, with righteous pink/clear color vinyl inside.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Tilts - Self-Titled - GREEN COLORED VINYL 12"</span></b><br />
<br />
Based out of the heartland in St. Louis, Missouri, TILTS debut on vinyl here with 12 slabs of absurdly catchy rock and/or roll. The songs are heavy, tuneful, have damn nice actual SINGING and tight spice added in all the right places. Guitarist/vocalist Andrew Elstner splits his time between TILTS and TORCHE (and used to play in RIDDLE OF STEEL) so you know he can shred. The band self-recorded this album in drummer Ken McCray’s home studio, then had Richmond, Virginia engineer Ian Whalen (RAH BRAHS, TOMBS, LAMB OF GOD) re-mix the whole shebang. James Plotkin (ISIS, CAVE IN, THOU) carefully mastered the beaut (for vinyl-specifically and separately for the digital download included) and she polishes up right nice! Rounded out by bassist Shawn Hart and guitar player Andy White, TILTS have delivered a seriously infectious debut album with 12 rockin "ALL KILLER NO FILLER" tracks!<br />
<br />
(Comes on color vinyl, nice packaging and with a high-quality digital download of the full album as well)<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Death - Spiritual Healing Reissue LP *Picture Disc*</span></b><br />
<br />
Death’s landmark ‘Spiritual Healing’ record is nothing short of genre-defining. Originally released in 1990, Spiritual Healing marked a new turn in the Death discography, one which ushered in cleaner production, a new level of boundary pushing musicianship and songwriting skills that were previously unimaginable from a metal band. Spiritual Healing sets the standard for riffs, insane time changes and of course mainman Chuck Schuldiner’s masterful guitar solos.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Your Blues by Destroyer</span></b><br />
<br />
Your Blues is a stunning collection of songs and craftsmanship. Bombastic and bold at times, quiet and soothing at others, Your Blues has an almost theatrical quality that informs the compositions. Originally released on CD in 2004, Destroyer’s sixth studio album is now widely available on vinyl, as the December installment in the Merge25 reissue series.<br />
<br />
Recorded with the production duo JC/DC (aka David Carswell and John Collins) -- who aided in the creation of Destroyer’s first three discs -- Dan Bejar ditches the band format he used for 2002’s This Night with tremendous results. Fusing a dramatic vocal style akin to that of David Bowie in the 1970s with 1980s studio achievers like Microdisney and Prefab Sprout, Your Blues is regularly breathtaking.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Rock Or Bust (On Sale) by AC / DC **</span></b><br />
<br />
“Play Ball” is the first track off of AC/DC’s new album, Rock or Bust, and premiered on iHeart Media’s Mainstream, Active and Classic Rock radio formats. “Play Ball” is featured as part of Turner Sports’ 2014 Major League Baseball Postseason campaign and also NFL’s Monday Night Football broadcast.<br />
<br />
Rock or Bust features a non-traditional and inventive three-dimensional lenticular cover, which gives the illusion of the band’s iconic logo exploding as the packaging is moved in different directions. This unique 3-D cover art can be seen on the band’s site. ‘Rock or Bust’ was recorded in Spring 2014 in Vancouver, BC with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixed by Mike Fraser. ‘Rock or Bust’ is the band’s first album of new material in six years, following their immensely successful ‘Black Ice,’ which entered charts at #1 in 31 countries and has sold nearly 8 million copies worldwide.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">The Boy With The Arab Strap by Belle And Sebastian</span></b><br />
<br />
This highly anticipated album from Belle and Sebastian arrives with every hope satisfied. Each song is a cunning short story that wraps itself around you like a cozy couch throw. The loose theme running through this 12-song reverie is seduction. It plays out in both the drowsy sexual hopes of principal songwriter Stuart Murdoch's idle protagonists and the giddiness of bandmate Stevie Jackson's "Seymour Stein" and "Chickfactor," which document his bewitchment by the city of New York and its beautiful girls and florid pitchmen. The complex arrangements favor a whimsical diversity best experienced in "Sleep the Clock Around," which features synthesizer bloops, trumpets, and bagpipes! If you haven't figured out that this Scottish eight-piece deserves every iota of hype it's receiving, it's time to have your ears checked and your record collection gone over by a certified professional. --Lois Maffeo<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">DragonForce's 'Maximum Overload' On Sale</span></b><br />
<br />
It's astonishing to realize that DragonForce now have a history going back 15 years, and that they're about to release their sixth album. But such is the pace at which music and life move these days that what was seemingly a highly promising young British metal band just yesterday are now an established full force (ahem) on the scene. In fact, their reputation is such that anything new from this lot is regarded as a landmark moment in the ongoing story of metal. But the new DragonForce album is a revelation, one that will surely entice them to another level of achievement.<br />
<br />
It's called "Maximum Overload," and that's precisely what you get from the 10 tracks on the main album, plus the five bonus songs for the special edition and a DVD. "We have our own style and sound," says Herman Li, who founded the band in 1999 with fellow guitarist Sam Totman. "And we didn't want to move away from that. Once you've got your trademark approach in place, that's what fans come to expect from you. But we also wanted to challenge ourselves. We didn't want to rehash what we'd done before, but take it all in a fresh direction."<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Goatwhore's 'Constricting Rage of the Merciless' On Sale</span></b><br />
<br />
From the combatant onset of "Poisonous Existence In Reawakening," and the tense, hammering momentum of "Unraveling Paradise," to the punkish urgency of "FBS" and the fiendish cascades of "Schadenfreude" (literally meaning the pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others), Goatwhore spew their unadulterated, subterranean metal as channeled through the historic likes of Motörhead and Bathory, with the insatiable hunger of a pack of wild boars. These are true requiems of revolt, at once predatory, epic, hate-fueled and sadistic. Due at least in part to the sheer synergy that comes from living in a van together for weeks on end, "Constricting Rage Of The Merciless" is razor sharp in musicianship literally writhing beneath the weight of its own sonic enormity. Duet's thick, gnarled guitar tones and bestial vocal accents coil seamlessly around Simmons' and Harvey's, brash, chest-heaving rhythms. It's all punctuated by the imposing voice and cynical prose of Falgoust who literally ran laps around the studio before taking to the mic to summon a more frantic, rasping edge to his signature tirades, now more enunciated than ever before. When Falgoust howls, "WE ARE COMING TO SMASH YOUR IDOLS!" (in traditional metal rager "Baring Teeth For Revolt"), souls weaken, forests die, planets implode. In a saturated metal landscape where sub-genres spawn sub-sub-genres and the very definition of "metal" seems repeatedly distorted by cross-pollinating madness, sacred are the bands who to stay true to their proverbial roots without repeating them.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Will Butler's New LP 'Policy' Up For Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
Will Butler has been a member of the band Arcade Fire for over 10 years. This is his first release under his own name.<br />
<br />
Policy is American music—in the tradition of the Violent Femmes, The Breeders, The Modern Lovers, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, The Magnetic Fields, Ghostface Killah. And John Lennon (I know, but it counts). Music where the holy fool runs afoul of the casual world.<br />
<br />
Policy was recorded in one week in Jimi Hendrix’s old living room (upstairs at Electric Lady Studios). Jeremy Gara played drums; other musicians contributed woodwinds and backing vocals. Most everything else was played by Will.<br />
<br />
LP includes a coupon for a full download. Preorders will ship to arrive on or around the release date of March 10.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Filter Distortion 'Transition' Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
Filter Distortion, a four piece electro band from Liverpool, have finally emerged from a self-imposed year of confinement in a windowless room. The band set about producing their finest work yet, and have certainly achieved their aim with debut album 'Transmission'. Recorded using just 3 microphones, the band wrote and produced all the album's tracks before mastering with engineer and producer Daniel Woodward at Liverpool's Whitewood Recording Studio.<br />
<br />
According to Liverpool's Bido Lito Magazine, "Transition swims in front of you like a neon-lit nighttime drive through the streets of Vice City with Depeche Mode blaring out of the stereo".<br />
<br />
'Transition' certainly has a distinct eighties electro feel but the band have given that sound a modern twist, with driving guitars and live drums, to create something incredibly powerful. <br />
<br />
The band are attracting an ever-increasing following, thanks in part to having their music featured on UK televstion (Channel 4 and LFC TV as well as BBC 6 Music and international radio. Two tracks from the album 'Cameras in the Dark' and 'Neon Nights' have both been selected as BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson's Fresh on the Net Fresh Faves.<br />
<br />
The album is available as a digital download and limited edition vinyl from selected outlets including Dig Vinyl, Probe Records, Piccadilly Records and mail order via the band's website.<br />

Release date January 12, 2015<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Pre-Order William S. Burroughs 'Nothing Here Now but the Recordings' LP</span></b><br />
<br />
In 1980, Genesis P-Orridge and Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson (then of Throbbing Gristle renown) travelled to New York City to meet up at the fortified apartment, known as The Bunker, of famed beat writer and cultural pioneer William S. Burroughs and his executor James Grauerholz to starting the daunting task to compile the experimental sounds works of Burroughs, which, up until that point, had never been heard.<br />
<br />
During those visits, Burroughs would play back his tape recorder experiments featuring his spoken word “cut-ups”, collaged field recordings from his travels and his flirtations with EVP recording techniques, pioneered by Latvian intellectual Konstantins Raudive. Throughout the next year, P-Orridge, Christopherson and Grauerholz would spent countless hours compiling various edits, each collection showcasing Burroughs sensitive ear and keen experimental prowess for audio anomaly within technical limitations.<br />
<br />
By the time 1981 came through, Burroughs had relocated to Lawrence, KS in which to escape the violence and mania of New York City life. It is in Lawrence that P-Orridge and Christopherson put the finishing touches on the record that would be known as “Nothing Here Now but the Recordings”. The album would come out in the Spring of 1981 as the final release for the shuttering Industrial Records, brought about by the dissolution of Throbbing Gristle. The album remained out of print until 1998 when John Giorno and the Giorno Poetry Systems included the album on a multi-disc retrospective CD box set compiling the majority of Burroughs seminal recordings.<br />
<br />
Dais Records is honored to have worked with the Estate of William S. Burroughs to finally reissue, for the first time since its original release in 1981, a proper album reissue of William S. Burroughs “Nothing Here Now but the Recordings” in its original vinyl format to celebrate the centennial anniversary of Burroughs. Fully remastered from the original master tapes in a limited edition of 1,000 vinyl copies.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">SWITCHFOOT - BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN</span></b><br />
<br />
The Beautiful Letdown is the fourth studio album by alternative rock band Switchfoot. Released on February 25, 2003, it launched the band into the mainstream on the strength of two top 20 singles: "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move." The album was hugely popular and remained a staple on the Billboard 200 album charts for a considerable amount of time. The album sold over 2.7 million copies in the US and was eventually certified double platinum by the RIAA.<br />
<br />
The album won an Album of the Year award at the 2003 San Diego Music Awards. It was ranked #195 on Billboard's Hot 200 Albums of the Decade.<br />
<br />
The album featured some of the band's most intricate work to date, and featured a departure from the lo-fi indie rock sound of their previous three albums. This shift to a more layered, heavier rock sound with occasional electronica influences can be attributed to the addition of long-time touring member Jerome Fontamillas as a full-time band member. Contributing more to the recording process by filling in with his added instrumental versatility prompted Foreman to note, "I feel like Jerome is a great team player. I mean the same thing where live he just kind of fills in, is the same thing on the album. He's just a wonderful guy to have around." The sound was also influenced by the fact that "these were songs that we'd played live countless times, songs that we'd lived with."<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">SOUNDTRACK (OST) - HANNIBAL SEASON 2, VOL 1</span></b><br />
<br />
The score for NBC’s Hannibal might be the closest someone’s come on TV to soundtracking the experience of losing one’s marbles. That someone is Brian Reitzell, who’s composed and supervised soundtracks for Sofia Coppola, Rian Johnson, and Peter Berg. Reitzell released a solo album, Auto Music, earlier this summer and now has the original score for Hannibal’s first two seasons.<br />
<br />
All of the music featured on the Hannibal LP’s hail from the first and second season of the series and have been sequenced in the chronological order they appears on the show itself, allowing for an essential listening experience as dictated by the music’s creator.<br />
<br />
Each double LP will be housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, and Director David Slade has provided rare photography from his personal collection for the artwork. Each LP will come with a download card.<br />
<br />
Both seasons are each receiving two volumes of music, for a total of four different LPs, and the variant colors are perfectly themed for the show and its content, including “Tannum Brown”, “Hemochrome Red”, “Travertine Grey”, and “Amarone Grape”, as well as standard black.<br />
<br />
There will be 1,000 copies of each color, for a total of 2,000 of each LP in total.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - WE HAVE THE FACTS AND WE'RE VOTING YES</span></b><br />
<br />
We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes is the second studio album by indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie, released March 21, 2000, on Barsuk Records.<br />
<br />
Death Cab for Cutie's first concept album, the album features a story about a ruined relationship. No singles were released for the album.<br />
<br />
In 2011, guitarist Chris Walla reflected upon the album stating: "That second record, especially, for years and years has been my favorite ... As I try to figure out what it is about that record that I react to so strongly – we started recording it like twelve years ago – dissecting all those elements and trying to reverse-engineer what happened, I’ve learned so much about what I value about songwriting and about performances."<br />

'Doom Fortress' is the debut full length album from Detroit’s Voyag3r (pronounced Voyager Three). Voyag3r are a synth based instrumental rock band that draws inspiration from sci-fi, horror, action soundtrack music from the 70’s & 80’s. Voyag3r have set out to create dynamic, epic, moody and atmospheric sounds intended to inspire. This experimental rock sound is like a movie-less score or the soundtrack to a far away mysterious journey. Voyag3r forge their sound with a multitude of analog synthesizers, acoustic drums and electric guitar.<br />
<br />
'Doom Fortress' was recorded using vintage analog synths, electric guitar through vintage tube amplification and maple shell acoustic drums. All music was recorded to 2? analog tape (MCI JH-24 2? Analog 24-Track w/ALIII remote) through various vintage pre-amps and a 1977 Custom Harrison 3232 console for maximum authenticity and spirit in capturing this classic sound.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>Jonny Greenwood's Inherent Vice: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Pre-Order</b></span><br />
<br />
Nonesuch will release Jonny Greenwood’s soundtrack to Oscar-nominated filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s new feature film, Inherent Vice, December 15, 2014, with the vinyl to follow March 3. An adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name, Inherent Vice, which will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures in theaters starting on December 12, is set in the tail end of the psychedelic ’60s and stars Oscar nominees Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, and Owen Wilson. In addition to nine compositions by Jonny Greenwood, the soundtrack features “Spooks,” an unreleased Radiohead tune performed by members of Supergrass, as well as other recordings from the movie’s era. Additional performers include The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Neil Young, Can, and The Marketts, among others. <br />
<br />
This is the third Anderson film that Greenwood has scored. Their previous collaborations include the critically praised soundtrack for 2007’s Academy Award-winning There Will Be Blood and 2012’s The Master, both released by Nonesuch. Rolling Stone said of The Master that its “visual poetry is matched by Jonny Greenwood’s haunting, hypnotic score.” The New Yorker described the music as “rich and inventive.” The Times of London exclaimed: “Jonny Greenwood’s score is superb.” Of the There Will Be Blood score, the Boston Globe noted that the “squealing, cicada-like strings of…Popcorn Superhet Receiver masterfully evoke the film’s apocalyptic vision of the West.”<br />
<br />
Widely known as the guitarist for Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood also is a highly respected composer.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Rhiannon Giddens - Tomorrow Is My Turn + Autographed Print Pre-Order</span></b><br />
<br />
Rhiannon Giddens, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and founding member of Grammy Award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, makes her solo recording debut with Tomorrow Is My Turn, due out February 10, 2015, on Nonesuch Records. (The vinyl will follow on March 3.) The album was produced by T Bone Burnett. Nonesuch Store pre-orders include an exclusive print autographed by Giddens and an instant download of the album tracks “Don’t Let It Trouble Your Mind” and “Shake Sugaree.”<br />
<br />
Burnett first worked with Giddens when she performed last fall at a concert he curated at New York City’s Town Hall that was later broadcast on Showtime: Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of “Inside Llewyn Davis.” In the Huffington Post’s “5 Memorable Moments From the 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Concert,” the top spot went to “Dear Lord: Rhiannon Giddens. The chances are a good many people haven't heard of Rhiannon Giddens, but that's probably going to change ... Giddens performed two songs … and earned the night's one in-show standing ovation.”<br />
<br />
Backstage, Burnett was immediately moved to ask if he could produce a record with her. “It was clear the first time I heard her at rehearsal that Rhiannon is next in a long line of singers that include Marian Anderson, Odetta, Mahalia Jackson, Rosetta Tharpe,” Burnett says. “We need that person in our culture.”<br />
<br />
For her first solo disc, Giddens chose a broad range of songs from genres as diverse as gospel, jazz, blues, and country. In addition to the traditional “Black Is the Color,” tracks include Hank Cochran’s “She’s Got You,” made famous by Patsy Cline; Dolly Parton’s “Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind”; “O Love Is Teasin’,” popularized by the Kentucky-reared “mother of folk” Jean Ritchie; and Elizabeth Cotton’s “Shake Sugaree.”<br />
<br />
Tomorrow Is My Turn was recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, with a multi-generational group of players whom Burnett assembled. Among them are fiddle player Gabe Witcher and double bassist Paul Kowert of label-mates Punch Brothers; percussionist Jack Ashford of Motown’s renowned Funk Brothers; drummer Jay Bellerose; guitarist Colin Linden; legendary backup singer Tata Vega; veteran Nashville session bassist Dennis Crouch; and Giddens’ Drops touring band-mates, multi-instrumentalist Hubby Jenkins and beat-boxer Adam Matta.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">You, Whom I Have Always Hated by The Body & Thou </span></b><br />
<br />
The Body and Thou are bands with Southern roots that have been pushing the boundaries of heavy metal for over a decade. Both have maintained relentless touring schedules, a dedication to DIY ethics and aesthetics, and a commitment to push their respective brands of extreme music into previously unexplored territories. You, Whom I Have Always Hated is a new collaborative release that showcases both bands’ unique abilities to create music that is emotionally effecting and unrelenting.<br />
<br />
On You, Whom I Have Always Hated, each band’s distinctive elements shine through and combine to create something more visceral than the sum of their parts. While the groups have different approaches to live performance and stylistic nuances, they share general creative ideas and have a history subsumed in themes of alienation, melancholy, and despair. They describe the new collaboration as “a twilight dungeon crawl exploring the winding, ruined halls of Mad King Duro’s Castle, best friends at your side, enemies crushed beneath your heels, mysteries solved, and treasures found.”<br />
<br />
This is not a split album, but rather a collaboration between The Body & Thou. LP jacket has a black flooded pocket, printed inner sleeve, and free download card. <br />
<br />
<b><i>White vinyl</i></b> edition is limited to 300 copies and only available via Thrill Jockey Mailorder!!<br />
