Capsule review: Nemo - Popmusics (1995)

Throwaway gold from inner Limburg slacker that could be you. Could be me. Popmusic's what it's all about. Noise from the basement. 

Capsule review: Solomon Burke - Soul alive (1983)

'Are you with me?!'
'Gee, Solomon, I just wandered in here.'
'Are you with me?!'
'I'll give it a try.'
'Are you with me?!'
'Guess so.'
'Are you with me?!'
You're kinda getting into my personal space.'
'Are you with me?!'
FUCK. OFF. SOLOMON. BURKE.
Solomon Burke is a selfish lover.

Capsule review: Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band (1967)

Paul McCartney eats the Beatles. Harrison the vegan option.

Capsule review: Robbie Basho - Seal of the blue lotus (1965)

Maybe it's monday morning, but this has little of the mood its title and cover wonderfully suggest. It's just a guy and an acoustic guitar, I guess.

Capsule review: Hakan Hellström - Ett kolikbarns bekännelser (2005)

There's something alien about great pop, but to go so far as to sing it in Klingon. Actually Swedish.
This is Hellström's reflective, acoustic album. Think expansive folk-and-tropicalia blend, rather than Nebraska. A joy and his best.

Capsule review: Impressions - This is my country (1968)

We'd need a Curtis Mayfield now.
No record has an ending as triumphant as This Is My Country's title track. Makes you feel you've made it through. It's a record of hope.
But we're still going.

Capsule review: Paul Bryan - Listen of Paul Bryan (1973)

Hey you, listen of!
A soft rock classic on a bed of bossa nova from charmingly lisping Brazilian bedsit pianist. Early '70s gold.

Capsule review: Black bananas - Rad times xpress IV (2012)

Royal Trux gone Funkadelic. Thrilling when it works ('Rad times'), just confusing when it doesn't. Surely not everything needs to sound like the bottom of a fishtank.
