EDITOR'S CHOICE
"Puzzle"
Tahiti 80
Fans of '60s British pop, the Cardigans, and the Olivia Tremor Control will
surely appreciate Tahiti 80, a Parisian quartet that fuses those influences into
a winning pop meld. Filled with witty homages to Ray Davies and ex-paramours,
their "Puzzle" charms with a tunefulness and mock innocence that will appeal to
admirers of artists ranging from Dusty Springfield to Fountains of Wayne (whose
Adam Schlesinger appears on two songs).

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: BILLY BRAGG & WILCO
When Billy Bragg and Wilco banded together to record the acclaimed
"Mermaid Avenue," a collection of unearthed Woody Guthrie lyrics set to
new music, no one expected the critical and commercial success that was to
follow. Luckily, the original sessions produced enough songs for a second
set, "Mermaid Avenue Volume 2," a sonically more adventurous album that
looks at Guthrie from a variety of angles. Download the album track "Secret
of the Sea," an upbeat slice of Beatle-esque pop that finds Guthrie at his
most innocent, plus an exclusive Bragg solo reading of "Eisler on the Go"
(originally found on "Mermaid Avenue"), recorded at the Gene Autry Museum.

OUR CUSTOMERS RECOMMEND: 3 DOORS DOWN
"The
Better Life"
3 Doors Down
A Customer from Atlanta Georgia writes: "The music in this album is simply about being good music.
Comparisons to bands like Creed and Pearl Jam are
unnecessary, while they may be subjectively true. The
readers of this review must simply ask themselves whether
they like real, honest to goodness, modern rock. If they do,
this CD is for them."
