		<title>M. Ward &#8211; Post-War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There are some artists who strictly defy genres. Think of Roy Orbison. Yes, he was one of the famed artists on Sun Records, but what  was he really? Was he rockabilly? Pop? Country? Easy Listening? In my  mind, the closest term to describe Roy Orbison&#8217;s music is the one Bob  Dylan coined for him: &#8220;cowboy opera.&#8221; Orbison&#8217;s voice was a river of  silk floating through the grit and dry heat cacti. And while I know that  M. Ward is no Roy Orbison (although he did ...

&#8220;A blue bong, high quality indica buds, hash, hash oil, freebase, red  wine, cigarettes, LSD, coffee, and whippets.&#8221;  Dust Brother Mike  Simpson&#8217;s recollection of the essential items in the production of the  Beastie Boy&#8217;s second album gives more than a hint about why this  particular slice of hip-hop has been, to say the least, a little  obscured.  And this is the Beastie Boys album which needs the most  exposition; even though most people will tell you that it&#8217;s their  masterwork, the ...

		<title>Seu Jorge &#8211; Live at Montreux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For most Americans (especially the shiny, young generation which uses  the films of Wes Anderson as gateways to the hidden world of art  houses), Seu Jorge is primarily thought of as the Brazilian man who did  those Bowie covers. And while several of those covers &#8211; especially  &#8220;Rebel, Rebel&#8221; &#8211; are worth the hype and attention given to them, it&#8217;s  still a shame that Jorge&#8217;s original music isn&#8217;t noticed as much as it  should be. Perhaps it&#8217;s because most music listeners always gravitate  ...

		<title>Happy Mondays &#8211; Live in Barcelona</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This DVD made me throw up a little in my mouth when I watched it. I  know. I know. Happy Mondays have this huge cult following; I&#8217;ve even  done research on it to see how there could possibly be more than two  people who admire this music and this &#8220;band&#8221; legitimately. But it&#8217;s  true. They&#8217;re out there. I don&#8217;t understand the music, I don&#8217;t see any  talent, or hear any for that matter, and I&#8217;m awestruck that these  musicians can actually sell tickets to ...

		<title>Warped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s hot. You&#8217;re sweaty. Dozens of bands are showing off their raw  skills on more than ten stages. A plethora of teenagers and young  adults, wearing their punk-or-nothing personas, surround you. A ministry  of radio stations has staked out their own spots within the vast  parking lot to distribute their hope, wisdom, and free swag to the  fastest growing consumer age market in the world.
It&#8217;s the only place where a reclusive Misfits fanatic, a  Hollister-clad, tennis-playing prima donna and a forty-something  business owner ...

		<title>Bonnie &#8220;Prince&#8221; Billy &#8211; Cursed Sleep EP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I love EPs, even though there are so many reasons to  hate them. EPs are generally overpriced CDs which contain only one good  track. They rarely include rare songs that will never be released again  (hellllllooooo box sets). A lot of recent EPs just seem to be remixes,  too, and for the most part, I despise remixes of rock songs. Yet lately  I&#8217;ve gotten two excellent EPs, which remind me of just how exciting a  good EP can be. The first one was from ...

		<title>Taking Back Sunday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It shouldn&#8217;t take an especially active reader to see that the  Modern Pea Pod tends not to cover music that gets played on the radio.  And I&#8217;m not gonna lie: part of that comes down to our own personal  tastes. But another reason why we don&#8217;t usually talk to bands who get  radio airplay is because the bands who get radio airplay don&#8217;t usually  want to talk to us. I mean, seriously, if you were 50 Cent, James Blunt,  Red Hot Chili Peppers or ...

		<title>Vetiver &#8211; To Find Me Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The trouble with talking about a discrete movement in pop music is  that there&#8217;s only so much one can say; and more often than not, what one  can say is probably a woeful generalization. Take, for example, Andy  Cabic of Vetiver. Willfully nebulous though it may be, there&#8217;s probably  no current movement more discrete than the quote-unquote &#8220;freak folk&#8221;  Cabic and his more famous friend, Devendra Banhart, have been slowly and  steadily bringing to the indie limelight since 2002 or so. It can be ...

		<title>God Bless the Child &#8211; The Very Best of Billie Holiday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s Billie Holiday&#8217;s immortal whisper, which Frank O&#8217;Hara eulogized  in his poem &#8220;The  Day Lady Died,&#8221; that engraves her signature firmly on the tombstone  of musical history. Holiday&#8217;s lush, silky, and slightly faded voice  drapes itself around the room every time someone puts on one of her  records. Indeed, if there had to be one female jazz singer out of the  many greats (Ella, Etta and Etta, Sarah, Nina)  whom it&#8217;s imperative to remember, it would probably have to be Billie  Holiday.
Perhaps ...

		<title>Wu-Tang Clan &#8211; Legend of the Wu-Tang: The Videos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s a good time to be a music video fan with a DVD player.  Seems  like every time I look around, there&#8217;s a new video compilation to  snatch, and for kids like me who have an ample amount of grainy little  MPEGs on their computers, usually encoded by god knows who and probably  obtained from a junk server of dubious legality, it&#8217;s nice to upgrade.
The present is also a wise time to release a DVD of definitive  Wu-Tang Clan videos:  ODB&#8217;s death has ...
