Released on Reprise Records 06/20/06
Boston pop-meisters, Guster, chalk up yet another emotionally rich landscape of catchy, unfussy numbers with their fifth release, Ganging Up On The Sun. Showcasing their craftiness on the overly traveled pop-highway, this is clearly their most ambitious and effective effort to date. More

Released on Warner Bros. Records, 7/11/06
Muse makes loud their rattle again with their looming apocalyptic sci-fi space continuum odyssey called Black Holes And Revelations. This fourth release sidesteps their obvious influences of Radiohead, and Nirvana made evident previously with their debut release, Showbiz, less radio-friendly, Origin Of Symmetry, and their third "shake-hands-with-America-release" Absolution.

Japanese turntablist-guru, DJ Krush, warps turntables around the world with his latest import tagged, Stepping Stones: The Self-Remixed Best. This "best of/overview" dual disc affair plays like a manifesto of conglomerate hip-hop-trip-hop beats set to thwack off your tweeters and sub woofers. The beatmaker’s hit list scratches up a bevy of metered flows with an entourage of en route rappers and backbeat poets making guest appearances. Amongst this heavy-hit list of fresh hip hoppers: Mos Def, Esthero, Mr. Lif, Black Thought & Questlove of The Roots, Malik B., DJ Shadow (Bay Area native, American counterpart) to name a few. More

Sean Lennon risks the usual contentions with his second major release after a long eight years. Had Friendly Fire been released by anyone other than the offspring of a prolific Buddha-headed music guru, John Lennon, there would be a lot less backfire, fuss and cruel comparisons. More

Released on Vice Records, 6/6
What does Justice sound like? Remember when the late Linda McCartney used to play backup keyboards for her husband’s band, Paul McCartney and Wings? Remember it appeared as though she were struggling with an interactive toy? Now picture that moment of awkwardness with a bit of raw, junky effects from the distortion box and a pinch of lively thump from the rhythm box and – viola -- there’s your Justice! More

Released on Secretly Canadian Records, 2/20/07
Infectious Richard Swift stitches up his cleverly crafted musical attire with Dressed Up for the Letdown. An almost one-man-band, Richard Swift may be perceived as a creative oddity with inspired sounds from the seventies, ranging from Elton John, Carol King and a little something borrowed from The Beatles, to bring you all into his curious audience. The opening tune, titled after the CD, starts you off in the way of Tom Waits along with a small horn section reminiscent of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album. From there it establishes a tuneful hippodrome-esque platform from where you will be lead with care and profoundness. More
