Nov 19, 2000 Music Dancing by Mike Keneally And Beer For Dolphins (Review) Sounding at times like Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, John Coltrane, Frank Zappa, John Cage, and Steely Dan, this album is a sonic treat.
Nov 19, 2000 Music To the Limit by Beats Unlimited Productions (Review) Remember that studio-based, diva-riddled dance music that was so prevalent in the early ’90s?
Nov 19, 2000 Music Tengo Yellow Pedal by Friction Bailey (Review) A very consistent album, but that consistency keeps me from digging into this album.
Nov 19, 2000 Music Mystery White Boy by Jeff Buckley (Review) Jeff Buckley didn’t belong in anything so small as a rock band.
Nov 19, 2000 Music The Facts of Life by Black Box Recorder (Review) In short, this album, though still an import, is worth every single penny and is one of 2000’s classics.
Nov 19, 2000 Music The White Birch by Codeine (Review) Here’s an album so devoid of any sense of triumph or victory. It’s as spartan and sparse as they come.
Nov 19, 2000 Music Dream Signals in Full Circles by Tristeza (Review) One of those rare cases where you can call a record repetitive and mean it as a compliment.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Return of the Rentals by The Rentals (Review) Despite the band’s frumpy appearances, this album contains one hidden pop gem after another.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Keygrip by Keygrip (Review) Solid pop songs that can be driving and punchy, but also atmospheric and jangly.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Stop at 25 by Thieves Like Us (Review) Rough around the edges and in need of some healthy polishing, but with plenty of beauty still shining through.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Come on the Phone by Magnétophone (Review) Play any of these songsfor someone and tell them it’s a long-lost Autechre b-side and they’d probably believe you.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Six Wall Solution by Bamboo Grove (Review) Bamboo Grove’s music falls squarely into that style of melodic, groove-oriented pop that’s normally reserved for the likes of the Dave Matthews Band.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Your Arsenal by Morrissey (Review) This record could be considered the one that helped Brit-pop be what it has been, in my humble opinion.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Teaching Turtles to Fly by Map (Review) Intricate, lush music that’s highly recommended for Starflyer 59 fans.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Kid A by Radiohead (Review) Radiohead temper their worldview with what at least seems to be a very real sense of hope.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Trilogie: Toil & Peaceful Life by Molasses (Review) To say that Chernoff’s vocals and lyrics are an acquired taste is an understatement.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós (Review) Songs like these belong in movies at those pivotal scenes when someone has a religious experience, when long-lost lovers are finally reunited, or when someone is brought back from the brink of death.
Nov 3, 2000 Music Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Review) This an album that speaks of freedom, but also is brave enough to declare that one must venture through darkness and madness to achieve it.
Oct 21, 2000 Music Every Day and Every Night by Bright Eyes (Review) Although it’s only a five song EP, Every Day and Every Night is a weighty affair.
Oct 14, 2000 Music What a Beautiful Child by My Dear Ella (Review) If you like indie/emo with a little rock and some added instrumental depth thrown in for good measure, you may enjoy it too.
