Doug SheppardFeatures The Cut-Out BinReg King: Reg King[12.Sep.07] :. One of the great lost '60s pop and soul also-rans, Reg King's only solo album is a murky snapshot of the dissolution of musical promise as an industry rolled on by, but remains a rawly emotional experience. Reviews DVDsTad: Busted Circuits & Ringing Ears [DVD][27.Mar.08] :. As they rose from starving Sub Pop indie artists to major label beneficiaries, one couldn’t help but think that Tad could develop into a band every bit as strong as Nirvana.  MusicBetty: Handful[5.Nov.07] :. A rare album from 1971 is reissued and still doesn't live up to the hype.  MusicThe Pretty Things: Balboa Island[27.Sep.07] :. The Pretty Things take a risk by dabbling in acoustic Delta blues on their latest album -- and mostly succeed.  MusicThe Knack: Time Time Time[24.Aug.07] :. In well over 40 years in the music business, Paul Gurvitz has done practically everything connected to fame except achieve it himself.  MusicVarious Artists: White Lace & Strange[31.Jul.07] :. With all the hard rock bootlegs out there, the release of another -- even in legit label disguise -- is rather anticlimactic. Events Iron Man at the Doom or Be Doomed FestivalMusic The Scruffs: Pop ManifestoPopMatters Pick MusicRichard Lloyd: Field of Fire [Deluxe Edition][2.Mar.07] :. Renowned Television guitarist's exceptional musicality is again on display on this reissue of his sterling 1985 solo effort. Music The Bee Gees: The Studio Albums 1967-1968Featured Article MusicThe Music Machine: The Ultimate Turn On[22.Dec.06] :. This two-disc re-reissue of the Music Machine's groundbreaking debut proves the band was as innovative as any in the 1960s. PopMatters Pick MusicColoured Balls: Ball Power[1.Dec.06] :. Like an Australian MC5, this unjustly obscure early 1970s band took the vehicle of early Little Richard-style rock 'n' roll and remodeled it into a dragster. Music Dead Moon: Echoes of the PastMusic Majority One: Rainbow Rockin ChairMusic The Clique: Sugar on Sunday: The Definitive CollectionFeatured Article MusicMotorhead: 2-Disc Deluxe Expanded Editions[14.Aug.06] :. By the mid 1980s, Motorhead's definitive records were behind them, but these satisfying efforts assured that the band would be rock-and-roll elder statesmen rather than has-beens. Music Don and the Goodtimes: So GoodMusic Judas Priest: The Essential Judas PriestFeatured Article MusicMotörhead: Deluxe Expanded Reissues[20.Apr.06] :. A spate of reissues captures Motörhead at its finest, filling out a completist's library of bonus material, but never trumping the original albums. Music Lori Burton: BreakoutFeatured Article MusicThe Dirtbombs: If You Don’t Already Have a Look[26.Jan.06] :. Like the tiger doesn’t belong in that cage, the Dirtbombs don’t belong underground. |
