After just a four week promo tour of intimate acoustic performances, the first single from Carolina Liar's debut effort Coming to Terms is exploding at Modern Rock Radio. Carolina Liar has also attracted the eyes and ears of MTV, becoming a featured band on the network's hit series The Hills. The tracks 'Beautiful World', 'Coming To Terms', and 'Show Me What I'm Looking for' have all been featured in episodes, as well as the video for 'I'm Not Over' appearing in the show's credit squeeze. In his day-to-day dealings with members of LA's music community, there are two things singer Chad Wolf has heard repeatedly. One involves praise for his songwriting skills, which seem to effortlessly toe the line between infectious pop music and a deeper, darker rock discourse. The other: disbelief. How did this classic struggling musician, who toiled away at coffeehouse gigs for most of his adult life, end up in one of Europe's biggest hit-making studios writing a full album of songs with a major label deal at his side? The story may seem far-fetched, some might even say too good to be true, but somewhere between accolades and accusations is honesty, which, ironically, is what Carolina Liar is all about.

虽然这是Chris Garneau的第一张唱片，但却丝毫没有生涩的感觉，相反，歌曲散发的魅力是很有深蕴的，足可以让人沉醉。他走的风格路线还是比较低迷的，伤情的，是一张听了可以让你跟着沉沦的唱片。歌曲的伴奏主要以钢琴为主，甚至常常一首歌曲只有钢琴在游走，虽然简单，不过就在简 单之中，给了听众最直接最简洁的触动。

There has always been a piano at the heart of Irma Thomas's music, and she is accompanied here by twelve of the best pianists around. The Grammy®-winning Soul Queen of New Orleans has never sounded better than in this all-acoustic setting. From the soul-searing passion of "Cold Rain" to the bittersweet intimacy of "This Bitter Earth," Irma's enduring warmth and soulfulness prevail, never straying far from the blues. Included are many new songs (including one from Burt Bacharach and Steve Krikorian) and a previously unrecorded Doc Pomus-Dr. John composition.

Irma Thomas is one of New Orleans' most beloved and iconic entertainers. On 'After the Rain,' the Soul Queen of New Orleans brings her rich and resonant vocals to a surprisingly varied repertoire that spans 75 years of American songwriting, the common thread being Irma's soulful and direct-from-the-heart delivery. Spare and often acoustic instrumental settings by an all-star Louisiana band allow Irma's vocals to shine through on each song. Recorded at rural Dockside Studio in Maurice, Louisiana only months after Hurricane Katrina, After the Rain is a remarkable declaration of resilience, presenting Irma Thomas at her very best.

When the World Comes Down是The All-American Rejects的第三张录音室专辑，08年12月16日发行，制作人是曾经操刀过Maroon 5专辑的Eric Valentine。另类杂志称其为年度最值得期待的专辑之一。目前专辑发行了4只单曲 "Gives You Hell", "The Wind Blows""Mona Lisa" 和 "I Wanna" 。
"Damn Girl", "Gives You Hell", "Back To Me"无疑是专辑中最快轻快的曲目。和现下的所谓另类朋克乐队不同，AAR的作品无论是歌词，器乐以及人声方面都没有丝毫的相似之处。整张专辑可以不需要跳歌听完，还让人觉得意犹未尽，这是多么让人高兴的事情。或许能称其是乐队最好的专辑了。专辑的制作水准比Move Along那张更提高了一步，而呈现出更多样化的风格。是张值得你掏钱包的专辑，也是年度最佳之一。

With "Move Along", Oklahoma’s The ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS unleash the much-awaited follow-up to now Platinum plus self-titled debut.

Produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank), "Move Along" is poised to vault the band’s finely crafted mix of rock/pop/mayhem to the next level.

Check them out live on the main stage at the VAN'S WARPED TOUR - 2005!

出生于名为Milford的宾州小,Vanessa Carlton在成长的过程中总是有音乐相伴,母亲是古典钢琴老师、父亲是Pink Floyd的头号歌迷,因此很早就广泛接触到从莫扎特到Pink Floyd、从Fleetwood Mac到PJ Harvey、从Neil Young到萧邦的各类音乐；在她终日辛勤的练琴之下展现了惊人的潜能和音乐天赋,8岁就完成生平的第一部作曲作品。

Ocean Avenue is the sound of a young band flexing its imaginative muscle and emerging from behind the one-sound-fits-all sonic shadow of Green Day to produce a singularly distinctive collection of songs. Sure, the album's opening salvo 'Way Away' is straight out of the SoCal punk rock playbook, but by the shimmering intro to 'Only One' it's increasingly obvious that there's more on offer here than one-dimensional posturing. It's not that Yellowcard are any slouches in the sonic thrash department, as evidenced by the breathless rush of 'Twentythree'--it's just that they're not afraid to let their strong lyrics and musical smarts speak for them as much as their twentysomething stamina. This Asia exclusive includes a bonus AVCD that includes videos for 'Ocean Avenue', 'Only One', 'Walk Away' plus 2 live from the Electric Factory of 'Ocean Avenue' and 'Only One' with the audio AOL sessions of 'Empty Apartment' & 'View From Heaven' and 'Miles Apart' (live at the Electric Factory). EMI. 2005.

剧情简介
街头少年DJ来自洛杉矶，是乔治亚洲亚特兰大一所大学新入学的学生。在新环境里感到非常不适应的他，自从加入了一个街舞爱好者同盟会之后，生活开始有了翻天覆地的变化。他的出众舞技在这里得到施展，同盟的人在景仰之余，都期待他能帮助同盟会夺取大家垂涎已久的全国街舞大赛冠军。然而他们不知道的事，纵然有出神入化的舞技，在成为同盟会最有竞争力的主心骨之前，DJ必须面对的是如何抛开残酷的往事带给他的种种阴影。在身边好兄弟和所爱女孩的支持下，DJ是否能够重新站起身来，正视前方的道路，在这条自己曾经深深热爱的街舞道路上勇往直前呢？
导演介绍
随着街舞在全球的风靡，街舞电影已经成为了一个较为独立的电影种类。2004年的街舞主题电影《热力四射》（《You Got Served》）一出，成为了街舞电影的开山制作。而本片与当年的《热力四射》相比，演员阵容更为强大，同时本片有意将街舞提升到一个全新的高度，使街舞从黑人们在街区自娱自乐、自我消遣的娱乐方式升级为一个拥有锻炼身体练心智的体育竞技项目。本片所选择的插入点有别于以往街舞电影的主线，虽然也没有脱离竞争比赛这一万变不离其宗的矛盾表现方式，但在过程设计中摆脱了以往电影中的仅以表现比赛场面为主的形式，同时对于情节的强化也让影片多了些励志的味道。另外，本片的舞蹈动作设计精致洒脱，很多高难度的街舞动作让人叹为观止，绝对值得广大街舞爱好者大力追捧，超越当年经典的士气很足。
主演介绍
以街舞为主题的影片，导演似乎已经不重要，拒请多么曲折也无人关注，最紧要的就是能否请到重量级的街舞高手展现实实在在的街舞。名演员哥伦布·肖特多年以前是当时尚属清纯系列的小甜甜布兰妮的绯闻男友，这个帅气的黑人小伙是名娱乐全能选手，电视、电影、舞蹈样样都能。而梅根·古德的舞技也绝不逊色。除了男女主演都是大伙儿熟知的街舞高手外。莱约也是片中不得不提的演员。这名曾经身居幕后，为众多顶尖歌手打造流行金曲的王牌制作人，如今也来到了一线发行了自己的专辑，在几个月里就已经赢得了R&B新生代偶像的称誉。这次是他初登影坛，虽然仅仅是个配角，但也是绝对被发行商拿来作为卖点的演员。

恕我孤陋寡闻,尽管来自北挪威的Silje Nergaard的已经是爵士界天后级的爵士女伶(16岁便出道的Silje Nergaard据说还受到Weather Report的bass手Joco Pastorius和吉他大师Pat Metheny等人的器重),但是在聆听Silje的第七张大碟"At First Light"之前我对她是完全没有了解的,在我印象中,今年来挪威和瑞典是一个盛产Indie-Pop的地方,很多不知名的清新民谣组合都让人心动.以致让我在听Silje的爵士乐时觉得其实她更像一位民谣女歌手,只不过是用爵士的编曲手法来演绎作品而已.
Silje的声线比较暖和,懒庸,同时特别的是她既清凉又带点沙哑,既低沉又带点尖音,的确很很容易让人爱不释手,在"At First Light"里,Silje一口气献出了9首作品,实属不易.当然,她还唱了一些standard作品,如"Let There Be Love",让我们可以感觉到她动的另一面,"Blame It On The Sun"则让你感觉到一股浓情蜜意.(文/Indieman)

《玛丽亚凯莉Mariah Carey：爱的相对论E=MC2》玛丽亚·凯莉以全球累积超过1亿6千万张的专辑/单曲/音乐录像带DVD销售以及来自美国唱片工会所颁发的81张白金唱片销售认证，成为跨越20世纪与 21世纪流行乐坛最畅销的超级天后，她以包括"Don't Forget About Us"、"We Belong Together"、"One Sweet Day"、"Hero"、"Dreamlover"…等18首冠军曲成为史上拥有最多首冠军曲的歌手，累计冠军在位周数多达77周！生涯囊括5座格莱美奖、8座全美音乐奖、Billboard杂志的跨世代艺人奖与世界音乐奖所颁发的千禧年最畅销女艺人大奖在内的一长串音乐大奖礼赞，她自出道以来就持续不断的立下难以被超越的当代流行音乐里程碑。

She took Australia by storm last year with her debut album "Innocent Eyes" going 14 x platinum, she has had 8 consecutive # 1 singles and to top it all off she has 8 Aria awards underneath her belt. Now the 20 year old songstress returns with her second album "Mistaken Identity" one of the most eagerly anticipated albums of 2004 which has already gone 3 x platinum. Which is not hard to believe since Guy Chambers (who also produced Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue & Jessica Simpson) produced and co-wrote many songs off this album with Delta. This album will take listeners on a melodic journey where through her lyrics you will grow with Delta and learn how she dealt with love, life and her battle with hodgkins disease. A beautifully crafted album, a must for all Delta fans.
