Summer’s hear, and the time is right...for the June
2005 Fufkin.com page, which is now up. Beat the
summer heat by reading the following record reviews:
Mike Bennett presents full length reviews of new
releases from The Orange Peels, Robbie Fulks, David
Fridlund, The Go-Betweens and Oneida, along with
capsule reviews of the new tribute to power pop
artist/Jam Recordings label head Jeremy Morris, the
latest from The Youth Group, The 101, Dynamite
Fraulein, Feist, The Go! Team, Dum Dog Run, Parker &
Lily, The Out Crowd, Annie and a singles compilation
from The Patsys.
Need refreshment? Then check out the cool breeze
reviews from Gary Glauber, he takes on the the latest
from Aimee Mann, Jeff Larson, The Decemberists and Jim
Basnight.
Summer reading? Michael Lynch has a review of the
tome The Beatles Are Coming! The Birth of Beatlemania
in America.
Finally, Katherine Kim has a review of the much talked
about M.I.A. disc -- decide whether this Sri
Lankan/British hip-hop artist is right for your next
barbeque.
Summer doesn’t mean school, but that didn’t stop Mike
Bennett from writing about the new documentary Rock
School.
Nothing is better during the summer then getting
together with old friends. So get together with Alan
Haber, Kevin Mathews and Eric Sorensen.
Mr. Haber takes us back to ‘beautiful music’ -- every
city used to have a beautiful music station pouring
out sweet sounds that only a mom or grandmother could
love.
Mr. Mathews has put his Blurb-o-rama to rest. Does
that mean that So Much Music...So Little Time will not
talk about great music, new and old, that Kevin’s been
digging? Not at all. Kevin discusses Robyn
Hitchcock, Griddle, The Psychedelic Furs, Jon Brion,
The Concretes, The Capitol Years and branches out into
film, with some words about the new Star Wars movie.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sorensen keeps strumming away with
another installment of Further Observations from a
Jangly Music Fan. Eric saw Roger McGuinn (again!) and
also listened to a slew of CDs: Bill Kaffenberger,
The Afternoons, Jeremy, The Come Arounds, The Orange
Peels, Dwight Twilley, Ray Mason and a lot more.
So stay in the shade (unless you’re in the Southern
Hemisphere and it’s a chilly winter -- then you should
stay warm), and please come and visit us.
