Anne Weiss |
| Title |
Concrete World and the Lover's Dream |
| Label |
Potter Street Records |
With her track, I Ain’t Got No Reason To Lie To You, Anne Weiss makes it easy to write reviews. Really, I ain’t got no reason to lie to you. The first track, obviously well described in the earlier sentence, carries just about that one lyric throughout the entire song. ...

You don’t need me to tell you David Guetta’s new single When Love Takes Over, which features Kelly Roland, is a hit. It’s all over the radio. I wasn’t even quick enough to listen to it on my own; I heard it on the radio driving home from work before...

From the English Indie band comes A New Tide (Released March 2009), Gomez’s newest of seven albums, third on ATO Records. Being dropped by Virgin Records English subsidiary, Hut in 2004 appears to be an inherently good move now that Dave Matthew’s label ATO picked them up. A New Tide,...

Described as the originator of “Creep pop,” Rachel Taylor Brown released her fourth album, Susan Storm’s Ugly Sister and other Saints and Superheroes on July 7, 2009. Creep pop is a type of music that I had never heard until about 75 seconds into Brown’s latest release. A little confused...

Enter _________ (Catchy phrase, catchy phrase, catchy phrase). You know, I like to begin reviews with some verbiage to draw you, the reader, in, but all I kept thinking here was ‘catchy phrase’. So my wife and I are driving up to the mountains for the weekend and I am...

POPULAR SONGS is Yo La Tengo’s twelfth studio project…wait a minute, when did that happen? They’ve only been together since…well, 2009 marks a quarter-century since soul mates Georgia Hubley (drums) and Ira Kaplan (guitar) formed the band (bassist James McNew has only been with them since, uh, 1991). Time flies...
