Plastic Beach by Gorillaz – Customer Review: Cartoon band Gorillaz’s new CD “Plastic Beach” features an armada of guests, including Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, De La Soul, Lou Reed, and Mick Jones & Paul Simonon from The Clash, to mention a few. However, they are well used and rarely overwhelm the songs they feature on. Unlike its Dangermouse-produced predecessor “Demon Days”, production this time is by Damon Albarn incorporating all his musical influences from projects as diverse as Amadou & Miriam to Blur and the results are simply staggering!

The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga (Deluxe Edition) (EXTRA TRACKS) – Has an album title ever been so self-prophetic? In its first year, this electropop opus rocketed Lady Gaga from unknown New York lounge singer to the world’s biggest pop star this side of Britney Spears. The Fame’s brand of pop is shamelessly decadent: 11 of its 13 songs are about money, celebrity, sex, clubbing, or a sticky combination of all four. It’s insipid subject matter, unless you consider Gaga as less of a silly, manufactured blonde than an ingenious artist playing the part of a glitzy pop star. Continue reading The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga (Deluxe Edition) (EXTRA TRACKS)

If On A Winter’s Night… (Sting) – About the Artist: Composer, singer, actor, activist – Sting has won universal acclaim in all these roles, but he defies easy labeling. He’s best described as an adventurer, a risk-taker. As he himself said, “I love to put myself in new situations. I’m not afraid to be a beginner.” Husband and father of six, masterful guitarist and bassist, and also a devoted Yoga practitioner, he’s made a career, in fact, of new beginnings. A milkman’s son from Newcastle, England, Sting was a teacher, soccer coach and ditchdigger before turning to music. Inspired equally by jazz and the Beatles (eclectic tastes that would prove prophetic), he met Stewart Copeland and they, along with guitarist Andy Summers, formed the Police in 1977. Continue reading If On A Winter’s Night… (Sting)
