Nick & Co. mix rock, blues, and gospel, to forge a head-on listening experience that will knock your socks off.  This amazing release finds the group following their muse through the heart of darkness and on through to the uplifting light.  This is a deluxe two-CD mini-box that is very attractively packaged in a cloth slipcase accompanied by a nicely put together, illustrated lyric booklet.  But it is, of course, the music that matters, and these guys are on a serious roll here.  We'll go on receord here as proclaiming this Nick Cave & The Bad Seed's masterpiece!  Stop by and ask us to give it a spin, if it's not already playing.

Attention fans of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings!  This CD was produced by Rawlings and is a true -- if unusual -- collaboration between Hitchcock and Welch and Rawlings that yields a cohesive whole rife with engaging lyrics floating on haunting melodies, and a couple of very catchy tunes

Before this record, you wouldn't necessarily think of placing B & S amidst company such as this, but with this record, they've joined the party and seem to be having a good time.  There's traces of the Kinks, as usual, but also of classic Beach Boys and even Apples in Stereo.  They've really put a back beat on these tracks, and the record, as a whole, quite bounces along.  For those sitting on the fence about this band, this might very well be the Belle & Sebastian record to take a chance on.
The Million Colour Revolution The Pinker Tones $12.77

This is it, the party record you've been looking for!  The Pinker Tones are a Spanish band that are new to us, and on Million Color Revolution they've managed to put together a tasteful blend of every pop genre you can think of, sung in a bevy of languages including, French, German and Spanish (but mainly English).  From the Beach Boys and the Pixies to Sly Stone and Funkadelic, to The Pizzicato Five and St. Etienne, and delicately seasoned with spicy Latin rhythms, it's guaranteed to elevate your spirit.  Check out their funky low-budget video.

A finely crafted old school rock album filled with hard-driving songs populated by angst-ridden characters that strain to shed some light on the state of things while simultaneously rocking out.  Grinding guitars and whining keyboards glide over a solid rhythm while Cave drones on.  While this is certainly not up to the level of Abattoir Blues -- his masterpiece, in our opinion --  it's a finely crafted piece of work that gives ample evidence that Cave & Co. are still on a roll, and is certainly worth a listen (you'll have to click around a bit to find it, but the whole album is [or, at least was] up for your listening pleasure).
