VARIOUS:
THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN (Razor & Tie)
You can now complete you wish list and send it off to Santa, cuz really, who can live without yet another Beatles tribute? Not I. Not you. Not no one. The Beatles were fab, and fab is what the world needs now. And what timing: this bird flies right on the 40th anniversary of the landmark "Rubber Soul" album, you know, the historically important transition album where the lads went from fun loving black and white mop tops, to fun loving psychedelic mop tops in full colour. Funny how some of the tunes don't sound all that grand - maybe it's me. I have been under the weather and all. Still, how can you go wrong with some of the finest critics darlings of today handling the material? Can you say Ted Leo? Can you say Ben Kweller? How about Sufjan Stevens? Okay the last couple are hard to pronounce, but you know what I mean: this is the cream of the current crop, and by gub, they give it their all. Sure most of them just note for note it, but that's just paying respect. And when the Fiery Furnaces start playing backward tapes during their flighty version of Norwegian Wood I want to put on a white gown and prance around in a green meadow, you will too! (Sekerka)
