This song is stuck in
our heads and we can't get it out! It's driving us crazy! ... And we think you
need to go nuts too.
Every now and again,
we come across a record that is just SO the shit that we feel the need to shake
loose shackles of society, shave our heads, dress in robes, live off a diet of
grains and the spirit and change our names to Sycamore... Then, naturally,
convert as many civilians as possible.
These are a few of
those records...

Ennio: Oz
Sometimes you
like dancing around in your underwear to Britney - Don't deny it, we know you
do. Then again, there are times when you just want to sink your teeth into
something with substance. (Hopefully that happens more often than those Britney
moments.)
Oz, is the
second in a trilogy of albums by Ontario-based artist, Ennio. In his own words,
"This album is the duration of a single night. People break up, protests
against the heterosexist majority happen, there's sex, someone gets HIV,
someone dies, there's a burning of an effigy and at the end we all go home. I
wanted to tackle the inter-relationships that happen between individuals in the
queer community with this one, while at the same time never forgetting that our
sexuality is not the only thing that determines our worth."
Oz is an amazing
work of fresh, daring and unapologetic art. And that's just how we like it!

Eric Himan: All For Show
In 2003 Eric
Himan released his third studio album, All For Show. Since 2003, the man who we
like to call the illegitimate love-child of Edie Brickell and Tracy Chapman,
has been featured in the Love Rocks compilation, released another studio album
(Dark Horse) and a full-length live album (One Night Stands). All of Eric's
work is more that just "good," it's amazing. The reason we picked All For Show
is because it's the album that we listen to the most :) This entire CD is like
a breath of fresh air. Unlike many indie folk-rock albums, the production on
All For Show is flawless but not over-done, keeping the sound true and the
message clear.

Sacha Sacket: Shadowed
Shadowed, by
Sacha Sacket, is one of the best albums we've heard in a long time. This record
sounds like it's literally floating through the ether; from the first note of
"The Prodigal" to the final William Orbit sounding, wet tones that echo into
silence on "Palestine."
The production
on Shadowed is amazing; it dances on the edge of obscure without ever sounding
too "experimental." And while a bulk of the songs on are fairly dark sounding
it's not at all a "down" album. "Desire" sweeps in and out from minor to major
so beautifully and with such skill, we dare you not to weep, and the
ultra-catchy "Kite High!" will make you want to run out into the
sunshine and spin and spin and spin until you puke :)

Tori Fixx: Black.Out (Disc I)
We confess...
Tori Fixx makes us wet. But just try talking about his body of work and NOT
thinking about... That body ;) His 2003 release, Black.Out, isn't his most
recent album, nor is it his oldest, it just happens to be our favorite. Put
simply, this is hip-hop at it's very best. From the oh-so catchy, head-bobbing
sound of "Breakthrough" to the smoothed-out, jazzy tones of "Still Make 'Em
Dance," Fixx delivers like FedEx only WISHES they could. Each track is funkier
than the next and his lyrics are dripping with so much sex... You're gonna need
a bucket. Not since Prince uttered the words, "You want me to swivel in your
love seat, don'tcha baby?" have we SO wanted to say, "Yes... Yes we do."

Uncle's Institution: Walkie Talk To Me
There's no
polite way to say this... We fucking LOVE Uncle's Institution. Norway's Egil
Olsen has created one of the quirkiest, catchiest, most funnest and mostest
originalist records we've heard in who knows how long! Anyone can sound like
they're TRYING to record a hit... Egil makes it seem like, not only can he do
this in his sleep, but like he's not really even trying... It just happens.
Like a by-product of having fun. And it's all good.
From the
über crazy vocals in the opening track, "Hey You" (vocals that say 'Yeah,
I can sing bad AND sound good') to the funk-infused and cheeky, "Babe," to the
almost reggae "Good Time." If you don't laugh out-loud and bob your head at
least ONCE while listening to Walkie Talk To Me... Then you're dead.
And quite
frankly... Starting to smell.

Wishing Chair: Underdog
Okay... We're
going to be honest here: It's VERY hard to have a grass roots, folk/rock album
with two female vocalists and NOT sound like the Indigo Girls. Wait... We
should re-phrase that: And not sound like you're TRYING to sound like
the Indigo Girls (Oh, we've heard some BAD bands! :)
Rest assured,
Wishing Chair has accomplished just that on their latest release, Underdog.
With fresh and catchy melodies and brilliant arrangements, this album stands
apart from any other folk duo's album we've heard to date. Beautiful
harmonies effortlessly float through songs like "Sidewalks" while up-beat tunes
like "Outlaw Wedding" make us want to jump in the car and dive out in the
country. We just can't stop listening to it! We love this one!
