Pretty funny. I especially liked the part about the whale research. I'll leave it at that so I don't spoil it.

Loverly

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Miscellaneous

Cassandra Wilson at her best.
Wonderful, interesting interpretations of well-known songs with a team of musician who really bring out the best of Cassandra.
My favorite: Caravan! Rarely presented with such cool.
Contrary to some of the other reviewers I judge Ms Wilson's detached and apparently uncommitted way of delivering the songs as a great asset of this CD.

Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Miscellaneous
by: Handel, London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, Alldis

March 12, 2002
Many envision Christmas when they hear Messiah spoken in reference to Handel's classical craftsmanship. I, personally, envision all year round listening rapture.

Handel's composition details various epics of Christ's life--His birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and eventual Messianic millennial rule. You behold through Handel's orchestrated psalms, the Old Testament prophesies concerning Messiah encompassed with the New Testament fulfillments.

Handel's Messiah is remarkable as it is the inspired Scripture set to orchestration. Messiah is absent of Handel's words; only holding his masterful musical scores.

When you insert these CDs, Biblical truths arise in illustrious, serenading ecstasy. You immediately recognize, ... Read More:

What can I say...a short 30 minute show (then there is another bonus feature on the disk which adds more to the viewing minutes). Great music, very easy listening. I enjoyed this DVD, I think you would too!

Monty Python's Spamalot (2005 Original Broadway Cast)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Miscellaneous
by: Eric Idle, John Du Prez, Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria

May 03, 2005
I saw "Spamalot" on Broadway recently, and couldn't believe how awful it was (especially given that I'm a long-time Monty Python fan). The easily manipulated audience, desperate to be in on the jokes, laughed and cheered uproariously on cue. Disconcerting and frightening to see how easily manipulated people are. I didn't join in on the laughter. How could I? After all, I'm neither chronologically nor mentally 15. In addition to being singularly unfunny, I found the show to be nihilistic, vulgar, fatuous, mean spirited, and nasty minded. Its only greatness is in how perfectly emblematic it is of our disintegrating culture.

In a word: Yecch.

Return to Cookie Mountain (with Bonus Tracks)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Miscellaneous
by: TV on the Radio

September 12, 2006
I actually bought "Return From Cookie Mountain" about a year ago, and at the time I was not sure what to make of it.. I enjoyed the material, but I found the album to be generally lacking in emotional content. I sung along, but was also confounded by its mezzo-forte studio-phonic aesthetic. At the time, I intended to write a perfectly apathetic review, expressing my confusion about the fact that I did not like it that much, but I did not hate it either.

BUT ...usually.... this kind of internal dialogue indicates I have a great album that I just don't "get" yet. Why are many of my favorite albums ones that I had to come back to? Quite literally, just a few months ago, I came to understand "Tommy." Why, after not listening to it for several months, ... Read More:
