A rather mysterious movie and an even more mysterious soundtrack. It’s borderline electronic but the spacey tunes make you feel like the butt of a joke you don’t ever get. It’s a soundtrack, and that’s where the description ends. It needs visuals to accompany it, and with almost all the songs done by one musician, it makes for an inventive but snoozy buy.

An extremely technical look at 12 major comedic films released during the 1950’s. You’ll never look at “Some Like It Hot” the same way again.

Arde (Sub Pop). Review by Marcel Feldmar.
Very few musicians can stun Jen Cray stupid with the simple inflections of their voices and the subtle strumming of their guitars. Langhorne Slim and the War Eagles did just that when they gifted a very intimate gathering of us at The Social in Orlando with a performance to be envied by those who missed it.

When Sun Falls On My Feet (Parasol). Review by Stein Haukland.
Annie Get Your Gun: Original Broadway Cast Recording (Angel). Review by David Lee Beowülf
As if a romance starring Orlando Bloom and Eva Green wasn’t enough…the new medieval epic, Kingdom of Heaven, encompasses a handful of other sub-plots, including a bloody clash between Christians and Muslims. Sound familiar? Our man on the battlefield, Steve Stav, dons his chain mail to deliver a report card on Ridley Scott’s latest creation.
