Excerpts from an Online Dating Service $19.18 How many jazz records do you know of that should come with a parental warning sticker? For his debut release, 23-year-old composer Nicholas Urie has assembled a big and talented ensemble to perform his settings of texts lifted from casual online dating services. These lyrics — and some definitely have rhyme, rhythm, and literary invention — range from desperate to creepy, obvious to double entendre, and cover a couple of surprising fetishes (“Does anybody want/To pretend that they’re/A robot?” — “Interlude #2″). Beyond the unusual topic and crude lyrics — approached straightforwardly and non-judgmentally, as mere artifacts of a facet of modern society — stands Urie’s songwriting. And that’s where the real surprise lies: this youngster has a cunning sense for warped brass band music. Pieces like “Wayne” “Cougar Seeks Prey,” and “Bad Girl” pull from all the strengths of the 17-piece band (18 with the inclusion of special guest Chris Speed on the last two tracks), throwing in the kitchen sink, for a wild ride through fast-paced heads, cluttered yet thrilling arrangements, and moments of yearning beauty. Christine Correa could probably make any graffiti sound like a love letter; her voice plays a key role in imparting credibility to the whole artistic approach behind this album. The seasoned rhythm section of Frank Carlberg (piano), Joe Martin (bass), and Michael Calabrese (drums) play a similar role on the instrumental front. Between the two are 13 horn players, Bill McHenry, and John Carlson getting the higher-profile solos. For a debut, Excerpts from an Online Dating Service is pretty amazing. The only weak points are found early into the album: “About Me” is a bit too circus-like to serve its purpose, and the “Overture,” an instrumental collage of themes from the album’s pieces, is downright tacky. However, the rest of this is gold. ~ François Couture, Rovi |

Headlines! $13.59 Following an album that was chock-full of singles but found no long-term success such as “Wordshaker,” the Saturdays were rushed back into the studio to record new tracks, in order to ride the momentum they still managed to have following the absence of Girls Aloud and Sugababes on the Brit-pop music scene. The result of this is Headlines!, a “mini-album” that may have taken all of three hours to record. The eight-track recording features a remix of an old album cut (“One Shot”), their two preceding singles (“Forever Is Over” and “Ego”), and only five new album cuts, giving a listener only 15 minutes of new tunes to enjoy. When all is said and done, however, Headlines! is still quite a good record, blending the best from what the Saturdays already had in their sound alongside some of their strongest recordings to date: “Missing You,” the album’s lead single, is their most engaging ballad yet, and “Higher” is easily one of their funkiest, spunkiest numbers. Though Headlines! may seem like a rushed, mashed-together excuse for an album, it is still thoroughly entertaining and fun: an album of this quality, if it had a few more tracks, would easily have been their strongest album yet. ~ Matthew Chisling, Rovi Performers: Flo Rida – Rap; Jeanette Ohlsson – Vocals (Background); Nina Woodford – Vocals (Background); Ravaughn Brown – Vocals (Background); Barry Blue – Guitar; Charlie Holmes – Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Percussion; Chippe Carlsson – Keyboards; Daniel Pursey – Percussion; Dann Pursey – Drums; |

Headlines $30.39 The second album of Paul Anka’s second sojourn at RCA leads off with the title song, a topical number about the impact of the media set to a disco beat. It’s not typical fare for Anka, and he doesn’t really give it a point of view. Another good idea wasted is “Life Song,” and which begins with a fear of death and peters out into bland live-it-up sentiments. More up Anka’s alley (although he didn’t write it) is the Easy Listening chart song “As Long As We Keep Believing,” a production-heavy ballad whose message is expressed in its title. But with another disco track, “Never Get To Know You,” and other over arranged songs, Headlines worked a bit too hard too make Anka seem contemporary, and for that reason failed where its more modest predecessor, Listen To Your Heart, had modestly succeeded. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi |

It’s Not Funny $10.38 David Cross’ first album, Shut Up, You Fucking Baby!, was a sprawling double-disc set, which was a risk. Not only are double-disc debuts a rarity, but comedy albums are notoriously inconsistent, so Cross was putting himself out on the line, but he succeeded grandly, delivering an epic masterpiece that fully captured the range and scope of his humor and stayed funny on repeated listens. Perhaps it was inevitable that its successor would suffer in comparison, and It’s Not Funny, released 18 months later in the spring of 2004, does. Part of the problem is that he’s covering many of the same topics he did on Shut Up; even though 9/11 and George W. Bush loomed as large on the American psyche in 2004 as they did in 2002 — it’d only been 18 months, after all — his jokes on these topics aren’t markedly different than they were on the previous record, nor are they better, and even if you agree with his politics, there’s simply too much of an emphasis on this, particularly since he’s reworking the same territory, not developing it. This gives a little credibility to the suspicion that It’s Not Funny was rushed to release. The album is culled from a series of performances at the Improv in Washington, D.C., between January 15 and 18, 2004, which, given the May 5 release, didn’t give Cross and his production team much time to edit and complete the album, and it does indeed have a bit of a tossed-off feel as if Cross were still working on new material that was rushed to market. Another part of the problem is that these shows were at a comedy club, not a rock venue, where Cross prefers to perform since they have a looser, wilder feel. Certainly, It’s Not Funny feels more like a traditional comedy record than Shut Up since it feels more like a collection of jokes, and it also suffers from inconsistent material. But since Cross is one of the sharpest, smartest, and flat-out funniest comedians of his time, the album is still very much worthwhile. It may be a collection of moments, but when the moments click, they kill, whether it’s a bit about electric scissors, a story about eating at an expensive restaurant where they serve edible gold, or a segment on Bush’s religion. These may not be as memorable as the best moments on Shut Up — nothing like the immortal story about getting drunk with Harlow — but that’s an unfair yardstick since his peers couldn’t live up to that album either. Instead of being a classic, It’s Not Funny is a solid comedy recording capturing a good, average performance by a brilliant comedian. It may not be timeless, which its predecessor certainly was, but it is sure worth a listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi |
