Calexico - Carried To Dust (2008)

Rating: 5/10
Gypsy, latin, love and acustic guitar. This is ok from the first track. Fifteen okedoke Calexico tracks, promoting sleep and sometimes it's a little boring country music. I love Calexico when they put an interesting song between these boring southwestern American musical styles. Writer's Minor Holiday may be the best example their diverse sound.

Carried To Dust occasionally full of emotion and that becomes romantic in night. Neither Tarantino movies Nor Western music interests me that much. Calexico insistently provides same sound and same songs, whistles and all other lazy theme.

Highlights: Writer's Minor Holiday, House Of Valparaiso, Bend In The Road

Calexico - Two Silver Trees

Stereolab - Chemical Chords (2008)

Rating: 7.5/10
It's serious posting about some iconic music bands. Stereolab keep back good stuff around, we're talking about unique and spicy music records here. Chemical Chords comes with professional sound in certain way. Peaceful female vocals are dancing forward to both retro and minimalist melodies.

All songs are nearly in same rhythm, that doesn't lack difference, though. Because vocals here are ready to fly in English or French. This is intelligent pop formula and wonderful indie music. www.stereolab.co.uk

Highlights: Neon Beanbag, Chemical Chords, Fractal Dream Of A Thing, Daisy Click Clack, The Ecstatic Static

Stereolab - Three Women

Movies and Soundtracks


I love watching good movies. I've just seen The Breakfast Club again, it is about a story of couple of common teenages during their disciplinary punishment in same school. Drama sounds like something put people off. I like drama genre, because life is a complete drama, sometimes its funny, silly and maybe shocking.

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)

I watched Persona fourth times so far, in the year 1966 written by Ingmar Bergman. Its genre is psychological drama movie and this movie is one of my all time favourite ones. I still could not  understand the thing about that Nurse, she's so weird. What a strange movie character!

The last and the best one is an Ingmar Bergman classic again. The Seventh Seal (1957) gets my fourth watch. Scott Walker wrote a song about this film, showing his admiration to this movie. The lyrics tell the same story like in the movie. It is about a knight is confused about existence of God and he's playing chest with Master Death.

Amy Winehouse - The Ska EP (2008)

Rating:4/10
Amy Winehouse seems to entertain herself being a celebrity crow singer. Singing 'Ay yay yay- yay yay yay' , covering ska-punk favorites from Toots & The Maytals to The Specials, Andy & Joe to Sam Cooke. Only good cover is Cupid originally by Cooke. The result is la-la-la with Amy on old-fashioned boring ska music. These four cover give an opinion about her future career. She makes a Gloria Gaynor-like disco record or something more cheerful than Back to Black (2006), who knows?
Highlights: Cupid (Sam Cooke)

Amy Winehouse - Hey Little Rich Girl

Placebo - Whitout You I'm Nothing

Rating: 10/10
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all

These powerful verses from Placebo's the most darkness record Whithout You i'm Nothing. With its original release date November 3, 1998, Brian Molko deserves an ambitious mention from critics, because lyrics are hard to catch here, at the same time they're bold and ready to rock. "Whitout You I'm Nothing" never ages, call this as goth, alternative, britpop or neoglam, and do not forget that this is hard to categorize. I love listening the whole record together after ten years. Can you find any record sounds like this? Comparable things don't provide something worthy in art. Come on man, this is rare, and alternative rock classic.

Highlights: Pure Morning, Whitout You I'm Nothing, Every You Every Me, The Crawl
