Nick Lowe - Jesus Of Cool (30th Anniversay Reissue)

NEW IN MUSIC: 2008 marks the 30th anniversary of Nick Lowe’s seminal 1978 album Jesus of Cool. The album, released in the U.S. as Pure Pop for Now People, marks the beginning of one of the most storied and influential solo careers in pop music and marks the true emergence of a songwriting monolith. The album is a literal compendium of 25 years of pop music history. Here, the sweet melodies of pre-Beatles pop, the energy of the British Invasion, the excess of glam and elements of ska and new wave don t blend but stand side by side on the field of battle, each one willing to lay down his life for the other. Jesus is the crossroads where pop music and pop culture collide, self-aware for the first time, fusing into a white hot chunk of rock n roll energy.

Shiny Toy Guns - We Are Pilots

Although not a new band on the scene, Shiny Toy Guns has a sound all to their own. Part electronica, part power-pop, part new wave, and all bright and shiny (as their name apply implies), Shiny Toy Guns’ debut release “We Are Pilots” is an album you’ll want to play over and over again. Do you like it or are you just happy it likes you? Tough to say. Take the fasttrack by listening to track 2, “Le Disko”, first. Just when you think you’ve had enough of the song, a little surprise awaits!
