show review; Tin Bird Choir

I happened on Tin Bird Choir as an almost accident, but I'm glad I did. I was in town while they were playing and our online editor, Matt Byrd, invited me to sit in on their podcast. While I was listening to him interviewing them, I was taken with how at ease they all were, and even though only Heather Eric are married, everyone seemed like a family. They were casual with each other and they took this feeling to the stage with them. Quite a few times during the show, they called for a "social," which was inviting the audience to have a drink with them.

But on to the most important part of a review: the music. I was most surprised by Heather's voice. There were songs where it definitely wrapped around the room, making it swoon and other times when her voice was so powerful I thought it couldn't stay contained in her body. Each band member knew what they needed to do on stage to make a perfect fit and everyone found their place easily. It was the same ease they had while sitting together before the show. There were no egos or agendas to get in the way; it was just friends making music and being happy to have the opportunity to do so. This atmosphere allowed each member to shine throughout the show.

They call themselves "barn rock;" I guess a throwback to where they do their practicing. It's fitting though. It's slightly country, slightly rock and definitely good, wholesome music that you can't help but enjoy listening to. It's one of those shows where you walk away saying "yeah, that was good, let's do that again." to your friends ... and you mean it.

Check them out, let them grow on you, and join one of the coolest families around.

Their Lyrics are as "Well Thought Out" as Their Name.....

There are certain bands whose music makes you press just a little bit harder on your gas pedal while you're rocking out to them in the car. A Well Thought Tragedy, signed to Creep Records with their first full length album "The Persona", is definitely one such band. Though at first listen the lyrics are a bit hard to decipher through the passionate, guttural screams of lead vocalist Max, a quick peek into the liner notes of the album was definitely worthwhile. In "The Product of Betrayal", AWTT skips the usual overblown language and generalizations bands in their genre are known for and throws out vivid descriptions of painful emotions we've all experienced at least once in our lives. This powerful song actually allows his listeners to feel their own hands shake and their hearts beat faster as they listen to his vivid account of the moment he's been betrayed by the person he loved. Even the instrumental parts in the song mimic the static you can hear in the air that surrounds you the moment you're hit with such shocking news. It's pretty easy to forget that you're actually listening to an album when you're taking in the sounds of AWTT. Listening to "Motive Assessment", I was practically taken to the cold barren jail cell Max describes in his song. Already being a fan of bands like Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold, AWTT fits naturally into any of my favorite playlists. If you're a fan of these bands or any other bands like them, I'm sure you'll dig A Well Thought Tragedy, and don't be shocked when their name comes up on your Sirius or one of your local radio stations sometime soon.

THE GIN BLOSSOMS, SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN

It is hard to believe that the Gin Blossoms have reached the status of becoming rock and roll veterans. While enduring the many highs and lows of being a hit rock band, The Gin Blossoms created a signature sound that is still as fresh and vibrant today as it was when they burst onto the music scene more than two decades ago. Having released an impressive catalog of studio albums, compilations and concert DVD’s , the Gin Blossoms are still very much alive and doing what they do best “Writing great pop songs that are timeless.”

Based out of Tempe, Arizona the Gin Blossoms were first conceived in 1987. After a series of personnel changes the bands line-up was solidified by the time of their independent self released debut “Dusted” in 1989. Catching on with the club scene as well as college radio major labels took notice finding the Gin Blossoms signing with A & M Records in 1990. The following year the band released their impressive debut “Up & Crumbling”. Everything was now in place to take the Gin Blossoms to success on a national level. Nineteen ninety-three was the breakthrough year the band had been waiting for. Their first hit single “Hey Jealousy” followed by their follow-up “Found Out About You” filled the airwaves with their respective videos receiving heavy rotation on MTV helping to catapult record sales of over one million copies sold. While all seemed in place with the Gin Blossoms founding member and principle song writer Doug Hopkins tragically took his life in December of 1993. With concern that the Gin Blossoms would be unable to rebound from such a deep personal loss and fill the songwriting void left by Hopkins, they quickly regrouped pulling themselves together and embarking on a rebirth. Two years later the Gin Blossoms contributed the single “Till I Hear It from You”, co-written with Marshall Crenshaw, as a part of the soundtrack of the film “Empire Records”. While the song was never officially released as a single it became a big hit for the band. After nearly a decade of non-stop touring and recording the Gin Blossoms released their final studio album “Congratulations….I’m Sorry”, which did chart for a number of months and was followed by a successful tour. Ten years after their inception the Gin Blossoms called it quits in 1997 with band members choosing to pursue individual efforts. The break-up proved to be temporary when on New Year’s Eve2001 they once again graced the concert together. “Our other bands broke up”, recalls lead singer Robin Wilson. “We looked at each other and said ‘Let’s give this another try. It was nothing too complicated we just found a way to start playing together again. It made a lot of sense at the time. Nobody was fighting it and it just fell together.” The following summer they did a summer tour releasing a live DVD. The Gin Blossoms were indeed back and showing no signs of slowing down. Over the next four years two new releases came out “Dusted” (2002) and their most recent studio effort “Major Lodge Victory” (2006). “Our 2006 album did well”, recalls Wilson, “We were on an independent label and we only had so much reach. We were unable to re-establish America’s awareness of our existence, which was disappointing. We are hoping with our next record to make some headway in that direction. We have a great batch of new material that I am really excited about.” While the days of signing a major record contract for most bands has come and gone, the Gin Blossoms are using their independent status and the internet presence to build and maintain a solid fan base. “You don’t need a record company to get you into record stores because record stores don’t exist today”, says Wilson. “That was a big part of the resources spent at major labels, it was the retail division and now it doesn’t exist anymore. Selling CD’s isn’t something record companies are making money off of. A band like us that is already established we have 30,000 myspace friends, we can easily make our records and sell them directly to those 30,000 people without anyone’s assistance. That makes it entirely possible for us to continue to do this. With another summer concert season upon us the Gin Blossoms are busier than ever playing clubs, theatres, casinos and music festivals to rave reviews while preparing a new release, their first in two years, due later this year. “We are working on new material”, says Wilson. “We are always writing. We just began, a few months ago, to present new songs to each other and start to demo them. It’s a slow process when you’re always playing. I would hope by the end of the year we have got it recorded.” While it is obvious that the Gin Blossoms are still a viable act with lots of mileage left, they are most appreciative of their history and the blessing of having their own piece of a cluttered music industry as Wilson recalls. “The first time you’re on MTV or the first time you play a stadium, those types of things only happen once. Signing a record contract on the hood of a car, great singular moments that you don’t get to ever have twice. We’re lucky we got to do all that. Now we’re grown up veterans. We have families and we’re still doing it playing rock and roll music. We are very lucky to still be doing, what we are doing.”

On May 11, 2008 the Gin Blossoms, featuring Robin Wilson on vocals, Bill Lee on bass, Scotty Johnson Jesse Valenzuela on guitar and Scott Kusmirek on drums, played two sold out shows at the Sellersville Theatre in Sellersville, PA. In honor of Mothers Day several band members sported suits and white patent leather shoes. Front man Robin Wilson commented during the show “That he must have not gotten the memo on the stage attire for tonight’s show.” The Gin Blossoms flawlessly banged out a 75 minute set of all their classics as well as some lesser known songs. Highlights included “Found out About You”, “Alison Road”, “Hey Jealousy” and “Until I Fall Away”. The Gin Blossoms will continue to tour into the fall with a new release expected by years end. Based on tonight’s performance and the crowds reception, look for the Gin Blossoms to return to Sellersville in the near future.

Movie Review

‘Indy’ has lost his luster
MOVIE

Paramount Pictures’ “Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull” took the top spot at the box office this holiday weekend.

The latest edition of “Indiana Jones” unearthed $101 million over the last three days — $126 million since opening late Thursday.

“Indiana Jones” marks the third film to earn over $100 million in 2008, with “Iron Man” and “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who” preceeding it. This time last year, there were seven movies already past $100 million.

Set in 1957 (which is 19 years after the last film), Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones (Harrison Ford) is kidnapped by a team of KGB agents, led by Russian scientist Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett).

He is taken to the same Nevada government warehouse where “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” ended. However, it isn’t the Ark they are after. The Russians are looking for the remains of a flying saucer that crashed.

Inside these remains is supposed to be a clue to what the Russians really want — a Mayan crystal skull with a su

pernatural power of mind control that will allow them to rule the world.

Jones manages to escape from the Russians, but then finds himself involved with a young kid Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). Not only is he the son of Jones’ old flame Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), but he has the next clue to the crystal skull.

After that, the pair are off to Peru and the lost city of El Dorado to encounter cliffhanging peril from Russians, Amazonian natives with poison darts, not to mention scorpions, army ants, aliens, quicksand and one very large snake. The only thing missing is the lions, tigers and bears, oh my.

What hurts this “Indiana Jones” film is that prior to releasing movies like this, film studios try to get audiences excited for it by re-releasing its predecessors on DVD. This is to entice moviegoers into wanting to see the latest version.

However, what was then certainly isn’t what it is now, and for those of you who are expecting to see “Indiana Jones” of the past will be disappointed. The formula of throwing a substandard plot around a popular character just to make a movie out of it has to end.

While “Indiana Jones” was never really one of my all-time favorites, the first three films were watchable in their time. Fast-forwarding to now, it is a character that should’ve been left alone.

Granted, Ford does his best as Jones, but his skills are seriously deteriorating. While it was nice to see Karen Allen and her smile, that was the extent of her presence in this film.

Hopefully the studios didn’t introduce LaBeouf’s Williams to take this series to the next level. There’s nothing wrong with LaBeouf as an actor, but I don’t think he’s strong enough to carry the next wave of films that’ll eventually come out in time. I’m not a psychic, but studios will drool over these box office numbers this weekend, and will get right back to work during this good feeling of theirs.

Until the marquee reads “Indiana Jones And The Search Of Extinction,” this current version gets two out of four stars.

“Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull” is rated PG-13 for adventure violence and scary images. Running time is 2 hours and 4 minutes.

Last week’s No. 1 film, Buena Vista Pictures’ “The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian” fell to second place with $23 million, bringing it closer to the $100 million mark with $91 million in 10 days.

Marvel Comics “Iron Man” is still the man in third place with $20.2 million. The Robert Downey Jr. film’s month-long take is at $252.3 million.

Warner Bros.’ “Speed Racer” finished in fifth place while adding $4 million to its three-week total of $36.2 million.

Two Universal Pictures’ comedy films, “Baby Mama” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” continue to hold their own at the box office. “Baby Mama” delivered $3.3 million to its five-week bundle of $52.1 million, and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” brought in $1.6 million — $58.1 million in six weeks.

Album Review

Rock Plaza Central
are we not horses


Rock Plaza Central manages to answer Devo with a question of their own.
I'll leave the title of the group's latest Yep Rock release, "Are We Not Horses," to you, dear reader, but I will say that the record always manages to keep you on your toes.
From the slightly unusual intrumentation to the somewhat obtuse verse of Rock Plaza Central's main songwriter, Chris Eaton, there's a lot to digest with "Are We Not Horses," and the record really demands repeated listening.
Stylistically, the record strives for a tone not unlike the one achieved by the Stones in their heyday (think Beggar's Banquet and Exile on Main Street). Intensely rooted in the blues, but at times uncharacteristicly sweet, "Are We Not Horses" manages to break a litany of alt-country rules -- namely a welcome lack of false bravado.
While the record didn't manage to me to rethink the alt-country genre (I have the Sons of Perdition to thank for that), it did manage to keep me interested.

‘Speed Racer’ hits a wall, drops to third at the box office

Warner Bros.’ “Speed Racer” downshifted to third place after initially being placed at second at the box office this past weekend.

While initial estimates had “Speed Racer” finishing second late Sunday, final numbers on Monday revealed that the film earned $18.6 million.

Based on the animated series of the 1970s, young Speed Racer (Nicholas Elia) idolized his older brother Rex Racer (Scott Porter). Young Speed was more focused on his brother’s racing career than he was his own schoolwork.

After Rex was supposedly killed in a race called The Crucible, an older Speed (Emile Hirsch) takes his place racing within the family business, run by parents Pops (John Goodman) and Mom (Susan Sarandon).

Speed also has an awesome childhood girlfriend Trixie (Christina Ricci) and mechanic friend Sparky (Kick Gurry)

Pops designed Speed’s car, the Mach 5, whose trunk is the usual hiding place for Speed’s younger brother Spritle (Paulie Litt) and Chim Chim the monkey.

The Racer family receives a visit from Mr. Royalton (Roger Allam) of Royalton Industries, who makes Speed a lucrative offer to race for him. Royalton does everything he can to entice Speed and his family to sign on with him.

Once Speed rejects the offer, Royalton does what he can to ensure that Speed will not win any more races.

“Speed Racer” is a multi-colored, three-dimensional entity that is fast-paced when it comes to the racing scenes. However, when it comes acting and dialogue, this film comes to a screeching halt.

The casting of this film is dead on. They definitely made an excellent choice with Goodman playing Pops and Ricci as Trixie.

What hurts this film is the uber-bright colors that are constantly on display, zigging and zagging across the big screen to the point where I’m surprised that seizures weren’t occurring.

Goodman and Ricci do their best with what’s around them, but I wasn’t sold on Hirsch being Speed. Sarandon doesn’t have enough to do in this film as well. Having Fox revealed as Racer X was a nice surprise towards the end, but not enough to sway this film.

I so wanted this film to have a bit of a feel of the animated series, but it comes across as hokey and too technicolored for my tastes. This is why “Speed Racer” finished third while “Iron Man” remains on top.

So as it comes across the finish line, it’s Goodman and Ricci that gives “Speed Racer” its two out of four stars.

“Speed Racer” is rated PG for sequences of action, some violence, language and brief smoking. Running time is 2 hours, 15 minutes.

Honeydripper
director: John Sayles

With Honeydripper, writer/ director John Sayles (Brother From Another Planet, Lone Star) continues making movies that feature multi-dimenisonal and unique characters dealing with trials of the everyday world.
Set in rural Alabama in 1950, Honeydripper tells the story of Tyrone Purvis (Danny Glover) who has one weekend to save his bar and his family from complete ruin. Tyrone's one shot is having Rock 'n' Roll hotshot "Guitar Sam" play a "one night only" show and make enough money to cover his debts.
There's just one problem, Guitar Sam is in the hospital (recovering from a knife wound) and cancels out at the last minute. Tyrone's only option is to put a young unknown musician, Sonny, in Sam's stead and hope no one knows what the real Guitar Sam looks like.
The movie's plot is a familiar one, but it's not the plot that makes Honeydripper a remarkable film. What sets Honeydripper apart is Sayles' meticulous character development. Sayles editing allows the audience the time to establish an ethos with the characters that many filmmakers are unable or unwilling to take the time to cultivate.
Danny Glover is supported by a superb cast of both seasoned veterans, such as Charles S. Dutton, and talented newcomers like Gary Clark Jr., all working as a cohesive unit telling this American Fairy-tale.

GLEN PHILLIPS OF TOAD THE WET SPROCKET ERMEGES WITH A NEW SOLO RELEASE

While singer songwriter Glen Phillips is not a household name he is best
known as the principle songwriter and front man for the commercially
successful nineties rock band “Toad the Wet Sprocket”. From 1988 to 1998
the band performed non stop releasing six albums yielding three hit
singles, building an impressive catalog of well crafted and emotionally
thought provoking pop songs. While the bands glory days have come and gone
they have had an impact and maintained a longevity which continues two
decades later performing sporadic concert dates throughout the U.S.
Phillips has now shifted gears focusing on his individual song writing and
live show. He has most recently completed his fifth solo release entitled
“Glen Phillips Reveals Secrets of the New Explorers”, giving fans a new
perspective into the mind of this multi-faceted artist as he hits the road
for another year of club dates spreading his message.
Philips first came to prominence in 1990 as a founding member and lead
singer for “Toad the Wet Sprocket”, a named derived from a Monty Python
comedy skit. Tirelessly working the club and bar scene, “Toad”, as their
fans fondly refer to them, caught the attention of Columbia Records when
the label was given a copy of the bands 1988 independent release “Bread and
Circus”. Columbia and Toad struck a deal signing a contract when the label
Columbia agreed to release “Bread and Circus” in its original format. The
bands 1991 release “Fear” was the breakthrough Toad was looking for. The
albums first single “All I Want” reached the top twenty with heavy rotation
on radio and MTV followed by their second hit “Walk on the Ocean”. Heavy
touring continued as Toad played throughout the U.S. and abroad building a
loyal following of fans. In 1994 Toad released “Dulcinea” yielding their
third and final hit “Fall Down”. Over the next four years the band
continued to tour and record, releasing several albums, compilations and
previously unreleased material. By 1998 it was time for Toad to call it
quits with each band member embarking on solo projects and taking a much
needed break from a decade of highs and lows that carried a heavy weight
for a band in the limelight, especially for Phillips.

Following the breakup of Toad, Phillips began to seriously pursue a solo
career performing and eventually releasing his solo debut “Abulum in 2001
followed by “Live at Largo” (2003), “Winter Pays for Summer” (2005) and
“Mr. Lemons” (2006). Now with the release of “Secrets of the New
Explorers”, Phillips has served up half a dozen new compositions that are a
departure from his traditional pop alternative trademark. His latest
release is packed with the emotional thrust, compassion and sincerity that
only Phillips could deliver. “For this record I pushed myself in a way that
I never pushed myself before”, says Phillips. I’m really happy with it. It
was a lot of fun. It’s very much a human drama that I am proud of. Like so
many artists from Toads era, artists have been forced to reinvent
themselves to adjust to the ever changing music industry that shows no
mercy on the established performer catering to the young artist. “It’s an
inspiring era for independent music”, says Phillips. “Look at everything
that has been successful recently it’s all indie stuff. People are sick of
hearing music that’s manufactured, they want something from the very first
note that is not made by machine but by people. It’s really inspiring to
see that the successes are coming out of that. It is also inspiring to see
how many musicians, like me, who are able to make a living who shouldn’t
technically be able to make a living.” While the days of Phillips playing
to stadium or arena type audiences are over Phillips is finding great
solitude in catering to a different audience. “My goal is to gain notoriety
in smaller venues”, says Phillips. “I want people who are going to
listen. I want people to give a damn. I am reaching a dream audience of
people who come out because they really care. I feel like this is where I
belong. I love the experience of giving to people. What I am now doing
feels very real to me. “

Phillips recently performed to a packed house at World Café Live. Gracing
the stage with his acoustic guitar in hand, Philips was engaging to a most
a appreciative audience, performing a seventy-five minute set of selections
from his solo releases, as well as acoustic versions of his more notable
works with Toad the Wet Sprocket. Phillips takes his solo act to clubs and
coffee houses throughout the spring and summer with the occasional concert
date fronting Toad the Wet Sprocket. For more info on Glen Phillips go to

In Bruges [2008]
Writer/Director: Martin McDonagh

Rhymes with "rouge". City in Belgium. For more info, sit back and enjoy.
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are Ray and Ken, two hitmen laying low in Bruges, awaiting orders from their boss (a seething, against-type Ralph Fiennes). While Ken takes in the scenery, Ray causes trouble, romances a local hottie (Clemence Poesy), and struggles with guilt-ridden remorse. The call finally comes through, triggering a collision of morals versus honor for all three men, enacted in appropriately Grimm style.
Dark comedy, Dante-esque allegory, travel promo... As colorful as plot and people are, though, all dwarf in comparison to Bruges itself, a thousand-year-old time capsule of medieval architecture and history. (It's also the perfect location for shooting your next movie!) Jaunty handheld cinematography guides the audience through the canals and cobblestone alleys as effectively as any tourism film, with gunplay and surrealist Boschian elements to boot!
Take a trip(tych) to the local cinema and get lost In Bruges.


Random Trivia: Actor Jordan Prentice (Jim) played 1986's titular Howard The Duck

The Apples in Stereo
New Magnetic Wonder


I had not fully realized just how much The Apples in Stereo had informed the sound of today’s indie music scene, until I sat down to listen to their new album, New Magnetic Wonder.
At a time when cooperate record labels, desperate to sell an album, are trying to pass Good Charlotte off as an “indie band,” to hear a group of musicians who challenge their listeners is tremendously refreshing.
In my opinion, this album is the next step in a musical idea the band had started on their last album, 2005’s Tone Soul Evolution to Velocity of Sound. With line-up changes, most notably the absence of longtime drummer Hilarie Sidney, who left in 2006, singer/ guitarist Robert Schneider has continued his mixture of Beatles-song writing and the Beach Boys sonic excellence. Magnetic Wonder finds Schneider incorporating further influences, like Brian Eno, into the mix.
The album, which comes out of the gate at full throttle with songs like Shine and Thank You Very Much, show Schneider is capable of recapturing the energy of previous works. The album finishes with the song Dreams, that is one of the sweetest and textured songs I’ve heard since Elliot Smith’s final album.
The Apples in Stereo are one of those bands that I would recommend listening to their entire discography because it is a musical progress that has yielded one of the finest bands in the world of rock music.
