Sizzla, Journey: Very Best Of
The idiosyncratic and mercurial Bobo sing-jay Sizzla Kalonji is well overdue another retrospective.
Beck, Modern Guilt
A far from guilty pleasure.
Living Colour
Czwórka czarnoskórych Amerykanów nigdy nie okupowała pierwszych miejsc list przebojów. Nie sprzedali porażającej liczby albumów. Mimo to są grupą kultową, mają sporą grupę oddanych fanów....

Roy Orbison - The Soul of Rock and Roll
Artist: Roy Orbison Review: Roy Orbison was a superhero of song. Unassuming in appearance, he became someone extraordinary when his weeping tenor took flight, rising from deep, dark places on anguished ballads like "Only the Lonely" and "Crying." Orbison rebuilt the stark balladry of Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" as a jukebox opera house, expanded rock's arrangement limitations, and opened a door to Phil Spector and Freddie Mercury alike. This 107-track box captures Orbison's Fifties rockabilly beginnings on its first... Rating: 5 Stars

Jolie Holland - The Living and The Dead
Artist: Jolie Holland Review: Yes, Jolie Holland knows Jack Kerouac's Mexico City Blues. Over the mariachi horns of "Mexico City," the Texas singer introduces Jack, who drinks too much because "there was nowhere else to go." That apocalyptic feeling pervades this sepia-toned album, boosted by M. Ward's scraggly hooks. Holland has a soft spot for sad sacks — the "ghost-faced junkie" of "Corrido por Buddy," the lover who made her "little heart a graveyard" on "Palmyra" — but her honeyed harmonies keep the mood from...

T.Love
Grupa nagrywała swój debiutancki album w najlepszym wówczas studiu w Polsce - S4 w Warszawie przy ulicy Woronicza. Nie obyło się bez spięć, bowiem producentem materiału był Jerzy Regulski, pracujący wcześniej z Perfectem i Bajmem....
Dąbrowska Ania
Wierna w muzyce latom 60. i 70., choć nadal dążąca do artystycznego rozwoju i uciekająca przed jednoznaczną etykietką. Każda z trzech jej płyt pokazała Anię jako wrażliwą i bystrą obserwatorkę ludzkich zachowań....
Adele - 19
Artist: Adele Review: Like fellow crooners Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash, Adele Adkins polished her skills at the Brit School in south London — as good a finishing academy as American Idol. Her debut, which topped the British charts earlier this year, lacks the bad-girl brio of those grads, but it shows off a vocal instrument that smokes the competition. Check out "Cold Shoulder," a lover's blues, produced by Winehouse's secret weapon, Mark Ronson: Over swirling strings and a snare pattern borrowed from James... Rating: 3 Stars

Motorpsycho, Little Lucid Moments
Little Lucid Moments is a relentless effort from a band making heroic guitar music for the young or dynamic.
The Replacements - Tim
Artist: The Replacements Review: Released in 1985, Tim caught a great American garage band stretching out, working Big Star pop and Fifties-style rock into a mix of punky abandon and regular-dude romanticism. This version — reissued along with three other 'Mats albums, none of which is quite as tuneful as Tim — brightens the sound and adds six bonus cuts, including a bare-bones version of "Here Comes a Regular," Paul Westerberg's moving acoustic ballad about directionless barflies. Rarely did Westerberg write so... Rating: 4 Stars
Bushman, Get It In Your Mind
Get It In Your Mind is Bushman's strongest album for a while.
The Zutons, You Can Do Anything
The Zutons are, you'll be relieved to know, on fine form.
Bajm
11 czerwca 2008 r. Trwa drugi dzień 45. Krajowego Festiwalu Piosenki Polskiej w Opolu. Jedną z jego gwiazd jest zespół Bajm, który gości tu regularnie od lat. I ciągle powraca. Ma do kogo - publiczność kocha Bajm, a Bajm kocha występować w Opolu....
The Smiths - The Sound of the Smiths
Artist: The Smiths Review: Overseen by Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, this compilation emphasizes the compositional might behind the miserablism of England's most idiosyncratic and influential Eighties band. Sound traces the quartet's four-year evolution from savage tenderness to refined despair: Morrissey articulates both bleak romanticism and omni-deprecating humor, while Marr accompanies him with chiming, multilayered riffs. The Smiths often relegated their most emotionally detailed and musically divergent tracks... Rating: 5 Stars
Kimya Dawson - Alphabutt
Artist: Kimya Dawson Review: Solo and as half of Moldy Peaches, Dawson has applied child-like wisdom and humor to adult issues like crack, romantic love, and the Iraq war. So it makes peculiar sense that she'd follow the freak success of the Juno soundtrack, which featured her on seven tracks, with a set of genuine kids songs. (She also recently became a mom.) But by the time she's halfway through the scatological title track — "C is for cat butt, D is for doo-doo" — it's clear this ain't Nickelodeon. Some songs... Rating: 3 Stars
Anya Marina - Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II
Artist: Anya Marina Review: Anya Marina's childlike voice doesn't jibe with her randy album title. But that doesn't stop the San Diego singer from growling come-ons on "Afterparty at Jimmy's" ("You got soul onstage, boy/How about soul in the sack?") or purring like Jessica Rabbit on the cabaret-style "All the Same to Me." She dials it back on "Vertigo," a sweet ode to a dizzying dude. With blippy drum loops, it sounds like a play date with a Casio — proof that Marina still has G-rated fun. Rating: 3 Stars
