Out Of Time represents one of R.E.M.’s greatest musical achievements.
You may recall that this recording was made back when vocalist Michael
Stipe stopped mumbling and started to really come into his own as a
songwriter. This work also nicely mixed together familiar band musical
elements with a few welcome new touches. As an artistic statement, this
one was not out of time, but rather precisely right on time.

A compilation of beats, riffs, hooks, mashes, slams and jams, Planet
Earth takes some of the best mixes by a variety of DJs and MCs and
spins them together in one fantastic-sounding CD. Hailing from the
U.K., LTJ Bukem is well known throughout the world for his unique
ability to create a fusion of many types of music with classic drum ’n’
bass. Often called the godfather of modern drum ’n’ bass, LTJ Bukem has
made a career in combining hip hop, soul, acid jazz and tired dance
music into dance beats that call attention to themselves not only for
their energy, but also for their unique sounds.

In 2002, Dave Alvin decided that he wanted to have a musical family
reunion. The result of that was a string of “20 or so incendiary gigs”
(according to Alvin), with the real Blasters playing together for the
first time in 16 years. This was all capped by a night on August 13,
2003 at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, California. This is the
resulting recording of that night. Having never been a huge Blasters
fan in the past, I had to approach this review with a brand new set of
ears. While ...

One of the things that California will always be known for is the sound
of surf music. It was the soundtrack of the ‘60s and even though The
Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Motown are what’s remembered most from
‘60s music, surf music was one of the decade’s best sellers. The Beach
Boys, Jan and Dean, The Ventures and Dick Dale have all made their mark
on rock ‘n’ roll.

I learned in music school that if you want to have any chance of making
a lot of money in the music biz performing in a band, keep the number
of members in the group small so you don’t have to divide up the
royalty checks too many ways. The Polyphonic Spree, a band consisting
of over 20 members, led by Tripping Daisies frontman Tim DeLaughter, is
going to have to do some serious math to divvy up the money should
their latest album Together We’re Heavy recoup its expenses and become
a financial success. The fine folks at DTS felt the album was such a
success creatively that they approached the band and their labels
Hollywood and Good Records to do a DVD-Audio version of the disc.
