2007-03-26 16:14:00
Rating: 3,9999/10 Review: Dance-punk producer (and one-half of The DFA) James Murphy returns with his second LCD Sound s ytem album. Album opens with Bowie opsessed dramatic disco beater by "Get Innocuous", and goes with a likeable disco-pop mix "Time To Get Away".

Blonde Redhead - 23

Rating: 7.7/10 Review: Noisy music, powerful guitars, elaborate lyrics, neon lights, i can count many things that i discovered on Blond e Readhead's music. This is another beautiful record after standout "Misery Is a Butterfly".

Adam And The Ants
2007-03-23 17:46:00
Ant Music Adam is making a bubbly, babbling pop music that’s actually less obvious and ordinary than when Adam fancied himself as a different sort of rebel/devil. The surprise of seeing Adam on TOTP was one of the year’s most refreshings jolts. ‘Antmusic’ is about seven times better than ‘Dog Eat Dog’: a Glitterbilly, Skids-swirl, tribal celebration. “Unplug the jukebox/And do us all a favour/

Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room
2007-03-23 13:58:00
MM classics Like his first album, Leon ard Cohen ’s second, "Song s From A Room ", is notable more for the songs than the singing. Cohen has a superb sense of lyrics and this new album makes compelling listening. The atmosphere throughout is subdued, the songs simply arranged and presented so that the focal point is the word. Cohen, in fact, seems to have taken over from Dylan somewhat in this area

MM classics I love misery, and oppositely to most people it's not antonym of peace. They greet each other and saying ' Thank you, if you hadn't existed i wouldn't have exist too'.
