1.The Stand Ins by: Okkervil River October 20, 2008

The 'Dylan Phase' refers to a statement a friend once made in regards to Bob Dylan's 1965-1967 phase, when everything he released, wheather on any of his albums or bootleg recordings, seemed to resonate with such greatness and importance as to reduce everything else to a mere substitute. This is how I now feel Okkervil River are currently enjoying. With each release they seem to edge closer to a greatness that many aspire to but rarely claim. 'The Stage Names' was one of 2007's best records and this album just proves the vast amount of songwriting and playing talent that the band were creating around the time. Songs such as 'Lost Coastline' and 'Bruce Wayne Campbell.......' would have perfectly slotted onto the parent ... Read More:

2.Music from Scrubs - The TV Series by: Various Artists April 24, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £7.01 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.35
I'll be honest - this won't be an unbiased review. I'm guessing that most people who will purchase/consider purchasing this will be fans of Scrubs, so I am reviewing it from this perspective. I am a Scrubs fanatic, and, like the rest of my kind, I know how impressive the soundtrack has been over the years. This CD is a good collection of those songs. Obviously, the more well-known artists wouldn't have wanted their songs on this, as they are high-profile in their own right (eg/ Boston, Toto). However, Scrubs has always been a source of exciting new music for me (I don't know if the music is popular in the USA, but its certainly always been new to me). They way the songs are involved in and complement the storyline is one of the things ... Read More:

3.Hold on Now Youngster by: Los Campesinos February 25, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £8.01 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.14
Los Campesinos! are a seven-piece (four boys and three girls) hailing from Cardiff. Their debut album Hold on Now Youngsters is an absolute indie party riot! The album is full of perfectly sculpted indie classics. The highly charged, energtic songs are witty, creative and in all honesty brilliant songs leap at you like that first pint of Lager after a long week at work, slap you hard in the face, smile, and invite you to join their party - riotous tunes from start to finish. No one with an ounce of a music brain should go on any longer without listening to You! Me! Dancing! - definetly a cult classic. That would get even the most cynical of critic bopping up and down. Whilst no other song might be quite as amazing, the rest are ... Read More:

4.Remember That I Love You by: Kimya Dawson March 17, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £1.01 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.07
I'm one of those people that first heard of Kimya Dawson through the Juno soundtrack, probably one of those who Dawson's hardcore fans probably hate. Anyhow, it is a remarkable little album with a range of emotions portrayed in each song. One song it'll have you dancing around the room the next it'll have you crying. It is original, quirky and inspiring. A particular stand out song on the album is 'Loose Lips' which reflects Dawson's thoughts on the US-Iraq war.

5.Good News for People Who Love Bad News by: Modest Mouse July 19, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £3.01 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.40
Modest Mouse don't seem to attract the same admiration on this side of the Atlantic as they do in the indie press in the States, where they are mentioned in the same breath as the Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire. It seems they enjoy something of a cult status and a reputation for drug problems and general instability though I suspect that this has been ratcheted up for the purposes of publicity. I bought this album on the strength of a few tracks I heard online and can only evaluate this album on its individual merits, not in relation or comparison to their previous records. The first track proper 'The World At Large' is nice enough if fairly derivative of post-Deserter's Songs Mercury Rev, followed by the stunning single 'Float On'. A country ... Read More:

6.The Stage Names by: Okkervil River October 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £3.01 (27%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.95
I had this album on my list of reccommendations for ages but was initially put off by the very strange name and weird album artwork - well dont be! I thought it would be some strange avant garde self indulgent material by a crazy acid tripping hippie.... How wrong I could be! I have had this album under a week and i just cant get enough of it - it is almost flawless throughout! its early days yet but i think this is going to make it into my top 5 albums ever. a big call and its companions are albums which i have known and loved for ages, so this may a heat of the moment thing but it is the best thing i have heard in a long long time. For those of you puzzled by the name and cover - this is actually Indie Rock - and quite ... Read More:

massiveley overated, all the beats have been done better in hip hop, doesn't hold up to repeated listening

8.Moldy Peaches by: Moldy Peaches May 07, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.99 You Save: £2.00 (18%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.34
This album is excellent and even lower than low-fi. More like ultra low-fi, which is the way I like it. One play its good, two plays very good and three plays excellent. So far this ais a sparse review but to end it I will say two things. Firstly when Beck was good he wrote like this. But this is more sing along. Secondly when I walk through White City in London (Which is a dump) I play this on my portable music machine and it makes me smile. What the heck, I said two final things. Well heres three, what other album has the lyric "Im just your average Thundercats Hoe"

9.Black Sheep Boy [Definitive Edition] by: Okkervil River March 24, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £1.01 ( 9%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £20.33
First let me say that if I'd bought the standard edition of this record then it's possible the charm of this band would have passed me by. The main Black Sheep Boy record is a good record, but would probably have taken more listens than I'd have given it were it not for the 'appendix' as the second disc is known. Where the main album is a grower, the appendix gives an immediate hit, beautiful songs, beautifully structured. The main album is slower, taking more effort to get into and is in my opinion a little staid and straight by comparison. My advice is to purchase, get into the appendix first and then go to the main record itself. The main record is good, it just doesn't have the same initial pull.

There really should be a national compulsory day-off for the whole nation when a Will Oldham record is released! Because they should be savoured, like a fine wine (which incidentally always goes well with an Uncle Will record)- hence the reason I buy them all on vinyl - a listening experience! He is the benchmark for all songwriters of our generation and he astounds with every record. And this one is a real grower, just like The Letting Go which crept up on you stealthily and threw you to the ground mercilessly and has never let go since! Long live the prince!
