popular music: underground     popular music:     Underground      Consolers Of The Lonely The Raconteurs Warner Brothers, 2008 A more full palette of sound for the mainstream band When I say mainstream, I don't mean streamlined, because this is anything but that. This album has many elements that are surprising for those accustomed to the bluesy and power pop elements of the two main songwriters. The tracks are filled with diverse genre bending ...             The Odd Couple Gnarls Barkley Atlantic, 2008 "Is it possible you were hurting worse than me?" Gnarls Barkley's second album is a good step forward for the duo. It's not what I'd call better than their debut, but it's hard to say it's worse, and it's definitely more focused. It's not quite as fun, but it's still plenty entertaining. There aren't any crazy ...             The Glass Passenger Jack's Mannequin Sire / Wea, 2008 The walls caved in tonight, and Andrew is telling us about from his point of view. When "Everything in Transit" came out in 2005, I could not have been more excited. I was a mild fan of "Leaving through the Window" and could not get enough of "North" It was something about hearing Andrew pour out his heart on Jack' Mannequin's first album that ...             Gorillaz Gorillaz Virgin Records Us, 2001 Best Electronic, Ragge, Rap, Pop, Rock, Dub CD Ever Made!!!!!!!! This cartoon band is the greatist, gorillaz has 4 wonderful characters, (2D) (vocals)(keybords), (Russel) (drumer), (Murdoc) (Bass), (Noodle) (guitar) is a great CD to start out with, If you want to learn more about this wonderful band I would get the book Rise Of The ...             Here Come The 123s [CD/DVD] They Might Be Giants Disney, 2008 Kids do not even realize they are learning. My kids are 4 and 5 and love to hum 80% of the songs from this CD. They do not even realize that they have learned their even and odd numbers, the concept of zero, and how to add to music. Then there is the DVD. Incredible imagination!             @#%&*! Smilers Aimee Mann Superego Records, 2008 Her Best Work Since "Whatever" I've read quite a few reviews stating that Aimee is retreading old territory and that she should experiment more. The last time one of my favorite bands started "experimenting" we ended up with a pretentious piece of crap called "Kid A". As long as Aimee keeps ...             Demon Days Gorillaz Virgin Records Us, 2005 Demon Days This album is great! love the Gorillaz their sound will never get old to me. Check out New artists stepping in the scene Jimmy Kane and his new album "Constant State Of Motion" also a very good purchase             In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 R.E.M. Warner Bros / Wea, 2003 Love it! Especially "Everybody Hurts Sometimes"! My husband has learned Everybody Hurts on the piano and will be singing it to me soon, Love the song and artist REM!             Murmur [Deluxe Edition] R.E.M. A&M Records, 2008 "Right on target", indeed I was seriously all prepared to smack this album for being (a) strategically holiday-priced as overinflated, (b) stingy with the extras, and (c) suffering because of el lame-o artwork, blah blah blah. But one spin, and by "Catapult", I'm driving home from purchasing ...             Way to Normal Ben Folds Sony, 2008 Ben Folds = Awesome Ben Folds is amazing,and if you don't believe me then listen to 'Bitch Went Nuts' - Best Song Ever, haha - Gunnar, Iowa             Our Little Corner of the World: Music From Gilmore Girls Various Artists WB Television Network, The, 2002 Welcome to Stars Hollow! The compilation is very reminiscent of the variety of music we heard on the show--kinda quirky and upbeat. The theme song and a few other distinct tracks from the show remind me how much I enjoyed watching the series. It's a great soundtrack!             Murmur R.E.M. A&M, 1990 Nightswimming I have been in North Carolina in the heat of midsummer and stood in the overgrown valley where there used to be trains at midnight; whistle blasting behind the voodoo woman's red and white cottage. It is the incredibly sweet ache of nostalgia for a memory you can only ...             Reckoning R.E.M. A&M, 1990 Great Chemistry, Great Album This album was another great release in the same style as Murmur. R.E.M. at this point had established themselves in the music circuit with their jangly Rickenbacher guitars along with singer Michael Stipes' sweet, yet slightly muffled vocals. Not to forget the other ...             Rockin' the Suburbs Ben Folds Sony, 2001 Some of Ben's best work This is my favorite Ben Folds album. It might be because it's the most recent I've bought, but I love all the tracks. "The luckiest" is a beautiful song and "Rockin the Suburbs" is great, too. Matt Zarnstorff             St. Elsewhere Gnarls Barkley Downtown, 2006 Glad to have found it! Great service and quality of CD; only wanted 1 song on the album so was happy to be able to get it!          products you might be interested in   search for popular music 1988-2003, consolers, elsewhere, gorillaz, passenger, reckoning      geepe.com    web randomly chosen VHS: None But the Lonely Heart
