The Replacements - Tim
Artist: The Replacements Review: Released in 1985, Tim caught a great American garage band stretching out, working Big Star pop and Fifties-style rock into a mix of punky abandon and regular-dude romanticism. This version — reissued along with three other 'Mats albums, none of which is quite as tuneful as Tim — brightens the sound and adds six bonus cuts, including a bare-bones version of "Here ...

Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club at Carnegie Hall
Artist: Buena Vista Social Club Review: In 1998, the aging members of this Cuban collective realized a lifelong dream: playing to a sold-out audience at Carnegie Hall. That show, captured on this two-disc set, is even more emotionally engaging than the group's eponymous album, which triggered a worldwide Latin-jazz revival. Highlights include a fiery vocal workout on "El Cuarto de Tula"; the ...

Jolie Holland - The Living and The Dead
Artist: Jolie Holland Review: Yes, Jolie Holland knows Jack Kerouac's Mexico City Blues. Over the mariachi horns of "Mexico City," the Texas singer introduces Jack, who drinks too much because "there was nowhere else to go." That apocalyptic feeling pervades this sepia-toned album, boosted by M. Ward's scraggly hooks. Holland has a soft spot for sad sacks — the "ghost-faced junkie" of "Corrido ...

Juana Molina - Un Dia
Artist: Juana Molina Review: Imagine if Tina Fey quit comedy and sang electronics-based folk songs. That's the path Juana Molina took more than 10 years ago in her native Argentina, leaving her job as a TV comedian to pursue experimental folk. Her fifth disc is her most adventurous, combining avant-garde vocals with the atmospherics of Portishead and My Bloody Valentine. With looped guitar, ...

Ingrid Michaelson - Be Ok
Artist: Ingrid Michaelson Review: Last year, Staten Island acoustic singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson warmed hearts (and shoulders) with "The Way I Am," a cutesy pop ballad where she promised her man, "If you are chilly, here, take my sweater." (The song was picked up for an Old Navy ad.) On Be OK, Michaelson's still generous: "You and I" finds her offering to buy pals dance lessons, her ...

Maim that tune: video karaoke at home
Sunday nights during my late teens were spent at Griff's Karaoke in the Ram's Head pub. Whatever song we chose, and it was invariably by Take That, Griff would commend us for giving our all to "a hard song to sing", and we would retreat to our vodka and limes wondering how to improve when we only got one shot a week at karaoke superstardom. With its shared mics and highlighted lyrics, karaoke ...

Rhodri Marsden: Have books become the new target for internet piracy?
The knowledge that music, both commercially successful and woefully under-appreciated, is being shared online for free is something that even Luddites have got their heads around by now. But books? Would your first reaction, on hearing that there's a new Kathy Lette novel out, be to get online and try to grab all 200 pun-laden pages without paying? Well, I wouldn't, for various reasons. But ...

Robert Hanks: 'What links folk music and left-wing politics?'
A dreadful thing has happened to me – so dreadful that I can hardly bring myself to speak about it. For some time I have suspected that – please, try not to despise me – that I'm starting to like folk-music; and this week, the diagnosis was confirmed: I managed to listen to the Mike Harding programme (Radio 2, Wednesday) from beginning to end, without ever feeling the urge to rush over and ...
