New Movie Tuesday

2011-09-13T08:04:00.000-07:00

In addition to posting the new music, I'd like to also feature new and noteworthy films in our collection. Rather than just a listing, I'll pick a few special foreign, indie and documentary films that may be of interest.

An actress, screenwriter, and bestselling author, Carrie Fisher is the daughter of the late singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. She became a cultural icon at age 19 after starring as Princess Lela in the first Star Wars trilogy.
Combining wry wit and raw facts, Wishful Drinking, Fisher's hit stage production of the intoxicating autobiographical tale of her life, reveals her own hilarious slant on the not-so-glittering side of being a celebrity.

In this highly acclaimed French suspense thriller, a 2010 Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, a mother's dying wish creates a painful puzzle her children are forced to solve. Twins Jeanne and Simon travel to the Middle East to piece together the story of the woman who brought them into the world, only to make a shocking discovery.

After a much-publicized departure from hosting NBC's Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien hit the road with a 32-city music and comedy show. The "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour" was O'Brien's answer to a contractual stipulation that banned his appearance on TV, radio and the internet for 6 months following his last show. "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop is an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most inprovisational time of his career."

Other new adds:
Rescue Me Season 6
Hesher
Thor
Son of Morning
Bill Cunningham New York
Meek's Cutoff

New DVD's are in the "New" section and are available exclusively to Manhasset patrons.

Best Music of 2009 From NPR's "Song of the Day"

2009-12-31T08:35:00.000-08:00

Best Music Of 2009, From NPR 'Song Of The Day'
by Stephen Thompson

1. Noah And The Whale
Album: First Days of Spring
Song: The First Days Of Spring
It's a little too easy to tag The First Days of Spring, the second album from the marvelous London band Noah and the Whale, as "a breakup record." It certainly serves that purpose, but it's really more of an aftermath record, from its first words ("It's the first day of spring / and my life is starting over again") to its last ("I love with my heart and I hold with my hands, but, you know, my heart's not yours"). A slow-burning masterpiece, The First Days of Spring spends every minute of its time getting to a destination, celebrating slivers of light before reeling from setbacks, then landing at a spot where the skies are still blue and your life's still your own.

2. The Avett Brothers
Album: I and Love and You
Song: Slight Figure of Speech
Seth and Scott Avett put a lot of thought into the messy mechanics of human interaction; everything, be it eternal love or bitter regret, comes equipped with darkness and light. A slickly recorded, elegantly rendered star turn, I and Love and You balances austerity (the title track, "Laundry Room") with kinetic energy ("Slight Figure of Speech," "Kick Drum Heart"), rendering both with gorgeous harmonies and clear-headed wisdom. Few pleas resonated more deeply in 2009 than the one at the start of "The Perfect Space," in which Scott Avett sings, "I wanna have friends that I can trust / who love me for the man I've become, not the man that I was."

3. Bill Callahan
Album: Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle
Song: Jim Cain
His voice is as distinctive as any in rock music -- deep, deadpan, weathered and so clear it hurts -- and his songs are built around stately, delicate arrangements, awash in strings and cleanly plucked guitar lines. But everything in a Bill Callahan song is a slave to his meticulously chosen words; consequently, Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle may be 2009's most quotable album. A single pass through its nine songs leaves behind phrases that'll haunt your dreams: "I started out in search of ordinary things." "I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again." "I used to be sorta blind, but now I can sorta see." For someone who so often sings about a search for clarity (see also: his magnificent, long-running one-man band Smog), Callahan finds it again and again in his music.

4. Wye Oak
Album: Knot
Song: Take It In
For a band containing only two people, the Baltimore band Wye Oak makes a punishing sound: Its songs burn slowly, with a slight undercurrent of twang, but there's something devastating about every note. Part of it is the guitars, which billow and burst with a fury that seems downright accusatory. A bigger part is the words of Jenn Wasner, whose seething delivery practically leaves a mark. "I breathe smoke when you need air," she sings in one of many gripping declarations from "Take It In." The Knot is similarly unforgiving, but its ragged, loud/quiet beauty still hits like a ton of cathartic bricks.

5. Neko Case
Album: Middle Cyclone
Song: This Tornado Loves You
Both as a solo singer and as a member of The New Pornographers, Neko Case has been consistently great for a decade and a half now -- so much so that she's starting to be taken for granted. A bracing but pretty collection of refreshingly personal songs, Middle Cyclone finds Case shape-shifting through personas with grace and ease, adopting the form of a neglected mistress ("Vengeance Is Sleeping") and a devastating storm ("This Tornado Loves You"). The album bleeds a heady mix of melancholy and charm: When she sings, "The next time you say 'forever,' I will punch you in your face," her wounded, defiant dignity hits plenty hard on its own.

6. K'naan
Album: Troubadour
Song: Take a Minute
K'naan's music is far more than the sum of his compelling backstory: Born amid the raging strife of Mogadishu, he moved to Toronto at age 13 and learned English by listening to hip-hop. Much is made of K'naan's hard-won authenticity -- of the way his personal history somehow gives him more of a right to gritty storytelling than other rappers possess -- but the fact is, the guy's just a phenomenal rapper with a joyfully omnivorous appetite for heartfelt music that extends well beyond hip-hop. He's as much an heir to Bob Marley as he is to Eric B & Rakim (whose music he once studied as a teenager), and it's telling that one of Troubadour's singles is titled "If Rap Gets Jealous" -- so named for the way he rejects the constrictions of any genre. Polyamory never felt so committed.

7. The Swell Season
Album: Strict Joy [Deluxe Edition]
Song: Feeling the Pull
The Swell Season's Glen Hansard knows his way around big emotions: He understands what it's like to feel insignificant and emotionally overstuffed at the same time. "I'm feeling the pull, dragging me off again," he sings at one point, adding, "I'm feeling so small against the big sky tonight." But Hansard and partner Marketa Irglova spend much of Strict Joy suffering in relative silence. The pair broke up -- romantically, not professionally -- during the making of the album, and the music that emerged from the wreckage is appropriately bruised and brooding, and unmistakably lovely.

8. Laura Gibson
Album: Beasts of Seasons
Song: Shadows On Parade
Laura Gibson seems to sing down into her own lungs, so quiet and delicate is her singing voice, but Beasts of Seasons isn't as unassuming as it might seem at first. Split into two sides -- marked "Communion Songs" and "Funeral Songs" -- the album understandably divides its time between grieving and rejoicing, but it never radically deviates from elegant, impeccably arranged uneasiness. For all its muted grace, Beasts of Seasons isn't afraid to pack a wallop into a whisper, as in "Where Have All Your Good Words Gone," in which Gibson gently twists the knife: "Do you wish you were an honest man? Do you wish you were a better man?"

9. Visqueen
Album: Message to Garcia
Song: Hand Me Down
Visqueen was just starting to stake its claim as a Seattle power-pop juggernaut when singer Rachel Flotard took a long hiatus to care for her dying father and then embark on aid work in Southeast Asia. But Flotard returns from the time away sounding not only intact, but emboldened: Message to Garcia pays tribute to her father's memory in the form of sweetly blustery, life-affirming rock 'n' roll celebrations, enriched by frequent strings, slide guitars, horns or handclaps. One overt tearjerker ("So Long") aside, Flotard spends most of Message to Garcia turning her loss into bittersweet anthems like "Hand Me Down," which brings to mind a too-good-to-be-true hybrid of Neko Case and Joan Jett.

10. Regina Spektor
Album: Far
Song: Eet
Clever and strange, tender and warm, Regina Spektor's music benefits from her peerless phrasing, which holds up even when she starts honking like a dolphin in "Folding Chair." Though Far takes a misstep here and there, insight and ambition ooze out of the album's every pore. In "Laughing With," Spektor starts out on a serious note -- "No one's laughing at God in a hospital / No one's laughing at God in a war" -- before finding plenty of room in the universe for divine benevolence and good humor. In the remarkably charming "Eet," she reflects on the way people use music as a crutch

Glee:The Music Season One Volume 2

Phish Alive and Well @ MSG

2009-12-23T11:35:00.000-08:00

On a cold December night, Phish played the 2nd of 3 shows at the world’s most famous arena. If the 7th Avenue screen of Madison Square Garden did not give it way, then the chaos within the train and subway terminals at Penn Station sure did. The scene may be a bit cliché at times with fans who welcome extended improvised jams, have the munchies at times, and obsessively tour around with the groups in search of hearing that one song. (On a personal note, out of the six times I have seen the band they have not played “You Enjoy Myself”. They played it the following night at MSG. Oh well.) But I will leave this small trace of bitterness to the side.
Phish’s reuniting was more than necessary for each band member creatively and individually, as well as for the “jamband” community at large. In 2004, they awkwardly left the scene, and thereafter guitarist Trey Anastasio went through many personal and legal troubles. In the meantime, there were many solo projects from 2004 to early 2009; bassist Mike Gordon released The Green Sparrow, while Page McConnell put out his solo debut, and Trey Anastasio released a number of efforts. However, there was still an undeniable void in the concert movement started by the Grateful Dead and then carried by Phish.
While the latter has never been highly praised by critics for studio albums, their live presence was sorely missed. But after all the hype of getting back together, and oddly enough a warm up gig as a wedding band for a crew member, they had a homecoming of sorts on March 6, 2009 in Hampton, Virigina (The box set Hampton Come Alive was recorded at the Hampton Coliseum). After gigging slow and steady since then, they have found new musical ground and picked up where they left off with their audience. This current time is marked by focused, more-succinct but heavily improvised rock with a touch of progressive music and nerdy arrangements from their early days and is affectionately called by “phans” as “Phish 3.0” These months of touring and more importantly regimented practicing have gotten them to a new place. In a few words, this show produced one of Phish’s most organic live products this year.
A good atmosphere was evident from the energetic yet disjointed first set. It contained a number of heavy jam-rock hitters, and stealth fan favorites such as “Axilla I” and “Taste”. A personal favorite was the opening “Punch You in the Eye” whose Latin middle section is certainly hip shaking. A few songs in, it was evident that something bigger could happen as they played a solid bass-thumping cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie on Reggae Woman”. This was followed by their jazz rock standard “Stash” complete with a minor key melody and a final improvisation that was dark at times, and big and bright at others. Newer cuts from the band’s latest studio album Joy “Backwards Down the Numberline” and “Time Turns Elastic” were also performed. For me, sections of “Time Turns Elastic” could be considered the only letdown of the 1st set as the band played fairly loose through an intentionally composed piece. At sets’ end, unexpected, funky, and free-flowing versions of “Back on The Train” and “Julius” produced a raucous round of applause.
The true highlight of this show was all of the 1 hour 20 minutes second set comprised of just 9 songs. While the jams often brought forth pure and unadulterated rock, what was more impressive was just how much Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Mike Gordon, and Jon Fishman listened to each other. More often though, Trey Anastasio was the bandleader that evening as his chords, motifs, and spacey playing queued the band into later numbers. Don’t get me wrong though, Page had MVP
Inside the just shy of 20 minutes “Down With Disease” their improvisations spanned big arena rock, one-chord vamps, electronic jazz sections, and a subtle segue which became more obvious as the 2nd song “Piper” emerged. Throughout, they kept the fans mesmerized and on their feet. What amazed me most about this set was how the jams had a great deal of cohesion and direction, yet contained the right amount of ambiguity by teasing several of their catalogue numbers. Cover placement was also good as they played a brief and punchy “Cities” by Talking Heads. The concluding portion of the show saw Phish performing spirited versions of “2001” and “David Bowie” which didn’t shy away from leisurely moments. For all the above reasons, Phish continues to be a top-touring band. They keep people on their toes and had me looking forward to their next time in the New York area.
One final note, I have posted portions of the bands set on Manhasset Music Scene’s imeem player to stream for your enjoyment. Season Greetings and happy musical adventures to all.

Some of Phish studio recordings, including Joy, Farmhouse, and Undermind, as well as Mike Gordon, and Page McConnell’s albums are a part of Manhasset Public Library’s Media Collection.
