Back & Forth ~ Aaliyah

Motown brought up Kylie Minogue, my favorite song from her is "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" the 5 minute non-mixed version.

Jolie Holland "Springtime Can Kill You" album

Biography by Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Jolie Holland grew up in Texas, where from a young age she experimented with writing, playing, and singing music. By her teens she had learned piano, guitar, and fiddle, and was making music her education as a traveling musician. San Francisco was home for a time in the mid-'90s before Holland was on her horse again, ambling to Vancouver and founding the neo-traditionalist folk outfit Be Good Tanyas. She contributed to the Tanyas' Blue Horse LP (Nettwerk, 2001) before moving back to San Francisco. There a series of solo demo recordings started making the rounds. Stark yet filled with imagery, Holland's work was folk in an American, Texas tradition, but accessed the fractured hope and gathered darkness of the country's past in beautiful and affecting new ways.

The buzz surrounding the demos grew and grew, with national mags lining up with applause and Tom Waits nominating Holland for the esteemed Shortlist music prize. All of this led to Anti's signing Holland in August 2003; that November, the recordings were officially issued as Catalpa. In April 2004 Holland returned with her actual studio debut. Entitled Escondida, the LP was a skillful blend of blues, folk, gospel, and musky vocal jazz, and immediately established Holland as one of the nation's most important young songwriters. It was followed in 2006 by the equally impressive Springtime Can Kill You.

Fruit Bats....Great band, Keeno!

Their 2005 album, Spelled in Bones, is equally great...

Review by Heather Phares, All Music Guide

With a roll call of hangouts like Lookout Point and Makeout Creek and mentions of "singing along to 'Raspberry Beret,'" Spelled in Bones feels steeped in the sunny days of June, July, and August, when it's easy to be easygoing and too nice out to get too upset about things like mortality and heartache (even though you're still thinking about them).

This, the Fruit Bats' third album, is still rooted in the folky indie pop of their earlier work, but Spelled in Bones is more polished, more focused, and feels more like the output of a full-fledged band, probably because they became a quartet instead of a duo with a cast of supporting characters.

As on Mouthfuls, the Fruit Bats continue to move away from the country sounds of their debut, although lap steel and other shades of their beginnings resurface from time to time. Instead, the band looks to '70s pop for inspiration, as on the aptly named "Born in the '70s," which mixes Elton John falsettos, flute-like synths, and the aforementioned lap steel into something both familiar and quietly inventive; "The Wind That Blew My Heart Away," meanwhile, has a jaunty yet bittersweet melody that recalls the best of Paul McCartney's work from that decade. Despite the poppiness of songs like these and "Canyon Girl," the Fruit Bats still have a healthy experimental streak; the opening track, "Lives of Crime," seems to melt every time it should come to a chorus. Spelled in Bones is so consistent that at times it threatens to become too samey, but each song's similarly winding melodies and unhurried tempos end up giving the album a suite-like feel.

Every now and then, surprising lyrics like "God's no better than you, just bigger, that's all" (from "Traveler's Song") emerge from the gentle haze of the proceedings, and both "Earthquake of '73" and "Spelled in Bones" itself add enough bitter to the sweet to keep the album from sounding complacent. However, "Every Day That We Wake Up It's a Beautiful Day" closes Spelled in Bones with hope and optimism that are as genuine as they are subtle. It may be a remarkably summery album, but it has enough charm and depth for year-round listening.

....check 'em out if you get a chance, people
