This week's special
consists of a great deal that we got on new CD
boxed sets. Ray Charles, Led Zep, Jack Kerouac,
The
Band, The Cure, CSN, Nuggets, Sinatra, Grateful
Dead, Stax and more are now available from us at
30%- 40% off the usual price.
Last week we told you about the killer
collection
we acquired. We're still putting records out from it,
obviously not fast enough, considering how quickly
they're getting gobbled up!
See you in the
racks!

Listening Post Features for May
Hang on to our Maypost
A.A. Bondy - American Hearts
American Hearts was recorded at a barn in upstate
NY but it is not hard to recognize Bondy's influence
from his home state of Alabama. Now signed with Fat
Possum Records and
re-releasing this solo/debu,t A.A. Bondy will be touring
throughout 2008 promoting American Hearts and
opening it to a wider audience.
Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
Elephant Shell encapsulates everything about
the manic TPC live experience-soaring guitar
signatures and keyboard figures, driving backbeats
and irresistible singalongs-and finds these young
protagonists ably adapting their energy into more
subdued structures before the record comes to an all-
too-early halt.
Hayden - In Field & Town
Hayden was brought into the spotlight with his MTV
hit "Bad As They Seem". Staying busy with touring and
a slew of singles, EPs, and a popular cut on the Trees
Lounge movie soundtrack, Hayden managed to build
a cult-like status among his fans throughout the rest
of the 90s. His critically acclaimed, fifth full-length
studio album, In Field & Town, was recorded and
produced by Hayden in his home studios in Ontario,
Canada, and has been heralded as the
album of his career since its Canadian release in
January on his own Hardwood Records.
Jamie Lidell - Jim
Recorded in Berlin, Los Angeles and Paris, Jim takes
even further what was started with Multiply, finding the
balance between the spontaneous creativity of his raw
ideas and the careful craft and polish of a great
record. Jim will switch you on in the morning, move
you on the dance-floor and take you down in the small
hours. It's a bold, promiscuously diverse album,
mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely
passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping
early R&B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch
of "hillbilly funk". "I haven't tried to hide the influences,"
says Jamie Lidell. "This is the music I love."
The Kooks - Konk
The Kooks are back with their eagerly anticipated
sophomore album, Konk- the stunning follow-up to
their breakout debut, Inside In / Inside Out. The Kooks
built a solid and
credible fanbase in the US and have quickly come to
be
regarded as a classic song-writing outfit, simply
because they understand what makes pop music
great. Konk demonstrates how they have
upped their
game with this collection of dynamic new songs.
Produced by Tony Hoffer (Inside In/Inside Out; Dave
Gahan, Supergrass, Beck).
