Marianne Faithfull, Horses and High Heels
Posted on November 15, 2011 Mike Elias
Faithfull is a great interpreter. She’s a squatter, claiming what she lands on and taking ownership.
Kasey Anderson, Heart of a Dog
Posted on October 26, 2011 Mike Elias
Heart of a Dog opens with, “The Wrong Light;” a song built on a fuzzed-out guitar riff, part Neil Young, part Black Sabbath, and a lot of nasty.
Nick Lowe, The Old Magic

If you pick up the vinyl version, it’s pressed at 45 rpms with wide grooves and it sounds spectacular. Yep Roc should’ve leased the RCA Living Stereo logo for this release.
The Dum Dum Girls, October 12, 2011, Turf Club
Posted on October 13, 2011 Mike Elias
The Girls could obviously catch your ear (as well as your eye) with their three-chord DIY attack, proving that simplicity sounds best when distinguished by nuances and honesty.
SuperHeavy, SuperHeavy

SuperHeavy tried to make a record that would incorporate so much, reach so many, but it collapses on itself like Wall Street and the Greek economy.
The Ettes, Wicked Will
Posted on August 9, 2011 Mike Elias
It’s a step in a different direction from the previous Greg Cartwright produced album, but not into a different territory. Wicked Will sounds more like the early Ettes, but a bit more refined.
The Hombres, Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)
Posted on August 6, 2011 Mike Elias
Q: Would I sell it?
A: Maybe for $50.00 but only after I burned a copy of their version of “So Sad.”
Soul Clan, Soul Clan
Posted on July 22, 2011 Mike Elias
Within the last year or two a friend of mine told me she had found a copy of the Soul Clan album at a local music store. I had confessed that I had still never seen a copy of it. She paid an ample sum for her copy but I totally understood why and it’s hard to explain why if you don’t have vinyl in your blood, love in your heart and soul in your bones.
Various Artists, Rave On Buddy Holly
Posted on July 21, 2011 Mike Elias
I downloaded this collection for $8.99. It was worth the nine bucks to aurally experience the various interpretations Charles Hardin Holley, but I find myself coming back for repeated listenings to only five songs, Smith’s “Words of Love,” The Black Keys’ “Dearest,”, My Morning Jackets’ “True Love Ways”, Lou Reed’s “Peggy Sue” and Jenny O’s “I’m Gonna Love You Too.” I like the Cobra’s cut as well as Cee-Lo’s and Florence & The Machines’ version of “Not Fade Away” is worth a listen too.
