Iraq And Magic Tricks

Music Reviews

Some Short and Sweet reviews of recent music purchases:

Tiare Helberg - Soft and organic, a little on the boring side.


M83 - Synthetic pseudo- 80's retrospective that works well on half the tracks


Love and Rockets "Sorted" - A best of that offers only some of their better tracks


Kings of Leon - The singer's voice is troublesome to my ears, but otherwise good stuff


Fleet Foxes "Sun King EP" - More of the same beautiful music on this initial EP as the full album that came after


Bauhaus "Crackle" - Another hit and miss Best of, should stick with the original albums


I'm Not There (soundtrack) - I enjoyed little of the self-important film about Bob Dylan's different personas, but most of the soundtrack is excellent


Deerhunter - an excellent band, excellent music


The New Year - former Bedhead often dreams well but still a bit too groggy at times


Album artwork is mine, taken from my photographs of googlings, then jazzed up on my laptop, I make these "cover covers" to cut and copy to my Itunes/Ipod, as I have no internet in my room.
