Comparing Carmen Townsend to other singer songwriters would be a fruitless task. Hers is a unique path, and her voice is one that ebbs and flows, taunts and teases, rising and falling with acrobatic ease. If she told you she was a musician, you might be quick to assume her time was spent strumming away in coffeehouses, but it’s been a solid fifteen years of Carmen earning her keep in…
What started out in one Los Angeles-area man’s garage as a virtual love letter to his long distance girlfriend has morphed into a nationwide phenomenon. Walter C. May, a television creative director, recently saw his longtime girlfriend leave her native Los Angeles to matriculate at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business to obtain her MBA, putting May in the middle of an unplanned long distance relationship. As a creative and…
Charlotte’s Web is a book that I believe is assigned in pretty much every American elementary school. Whether it is assigned in other countries’ classrooms is not something that I know, but what I do know is that there is a movie out now that brings this book to life. Tied to this movie is a soundtrack that is created by Danny Elfman, often considered one of the most magestic…
There are a number of individuals that make their bread and butter playing music that do not really excite me. While this list may include some of rock’s greatest axe men (and women), suffice it to say that Eric Johnson is not one of those individuals. Most casual fans will know Johnson for 1990’s “Cliffs of Dover”, but the simple truth is that ey has had a tremendous career. Up…

I don’t know how I feel when it comes down to soundtracks. Specifically, I am not sure whether I prefer more albums that have a mix of previously recorded and fresh songs by established band, or those cases in which a master musician is given the reins for the entirety of the CD. For those that are not familiar with this soundtrack, “Catch and Release” has 17 cuts by a…

The style of music is fairly docile in this musical, as a great number of these tracks act in forwarding the plot instead of trying to wow the viewers. Of course, some tracks do happen to impress listeners; this can first really be noticed during songs like “Shine”. The female vocals that take such a major part in the first half of this soundtrack should make individuals recall Beauty and…

It has been a few years since the last Spice Girls reunion, so it only makes sense that each of the constituent members have to find a way to make their bread and butter. What makes the most sense out of these ventures has to be what Mel B is doing. Riding on the crazy of Dance Dance Revolution types of games, ey has put eir name on “Get Fit”,…

Seven CDs worth of material is absolutely amazing, and this fact becomes more amazing when individuals realize that the quality of these recordings does not slack at any point. The main discs comprise their original albums, with a number of live or otherwise demo tracks taking residence at the end of the disc. This means that the first disc provides listeners with 2005’s compilation “The Glasgow School” while adding on…
It is always difficult to go forth and give a review to a soundtrack that I haven’t seen the movie for. However, “Babel”’s soundtrack is masterful in having listeners understand what exactly is going on during that specific track. However, there is enough variation in the disc’s 37 tracks that individuals will be able to glean a great deal of detail from each of the compositions. The movie has a…

There once was a time where linking oneself to the Daily Show meant that you had serious comedy chops. As the different elements to the show have grown up and have otherwise moved on, it seems that this claim has gradually lost its power. However, a Daily Show-laden cast for Cooper’s Christmas seems to make this the best period comedy since Hot Tub Time Machine. TDS members Samantha Bee and…
