Here's what Larry Mizell had to say about 'em in this week's My Philosophy: Another local release: Tomorrow Handles That , the debut LP from the Let Go, who consist of Type, Kublakai, and sole producer Captain Midnite. Their CD release is at Nectar on August 27, with Louis Logic, Animal Farm, DJ 100 Proof, and the Kid Espi. Handles That 's premise is simply the healing power of time, and Type and Koob give their everything with raps both heartful and tongue-in-cheek. Midnite's pitched-up soul, while lacking on the low end, suits the best moments perfectly—the baby-come-back plea "Standing Back," the Josh Martinez–assisted "No I Didn't," the hopeful "Searching for Sun." Unfortunately, comedy-rappish layovers ("Like a Western," "Booty Fiend," "Party Crashers"), beat-to-paste imagery from the local lexicon (coffee, depression, rain, sunshine), and an inconsistent vision all serve to derail the overall quality train of thought. Both MCs have done more inspired work separately, so while Handles That is a definite solid effort, it could and should have been a breakthrough and elevation for all concerned; of course, the Let Go's very point is perseverance in the face of adversity—so they ain't goin' nowhere yet. Hear songs from the Let Go's Tomorrow Handles That here . The Wombats - "Let's Dance to Joy Division" The Wombats, Immigrant (Neumo's) The Wombats are two young Brits and one young Norwegian who met at Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. The band's arrangements, productions, and vocal harmonies suggest that the institute's musical classes and studio resources are top-notch. The band's lyrics, however, suggest that school's English department may be lacking. The record is polished pop rock full of youthful vigor, like the first Futureheads record only without the wit. "Kill the Director," whose lyrics, which include the abhorrent abbreviation "rom-com" and the line "This is no Bridget Jones" (Bridget Jones would be a good thing?), should embarrass even a teenage band. The conceit of "Let's Dance to Joy Division" makes CSS's "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above" seem like a work of postmodern genius. The best of A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation , such as "Moving to New York," is merely inoffensive. ERIC GRANDY Shawn Mullins - "Lullaby" Shawn Mullins, The Avett Brothers (Woodland Park Zoo) It's a pity how labels inevitably taint the music they attempt to describe. It's frustrating enough for bands that push boundaries and attempt to forge new paths, but it's even more embarrassing when it comes to describing more traditional-sounding artists. Just look at the recent crop of young roots musicians and the endless, bastardized classifications pinned upon them. Artists like the Avett Brothers run counter to the Nashville paradigm, rendering the term "country" inappropriate. "Alt country" seems horribly dated. "Americana" seems too broad. So they're stuck with lamentable descriptions like "folk-core" and "grunge-grass." Such a shame that such solid acts should have to wrestle with such asinine genre tags.

Despite high profile projects over the last decade, Matthew Sweet is still a slave to his mid-90s legacy. For most people, he dropped off the radar after 100% Fun, Blue Sky on Mars and In Reverse were considered duds, a belief commonly attributed to the absence of the legendary Richard Lloyd and Richard Quine. This was also the period where Sweet Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:15:00 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Shawn+Mullins?rinfoid=67590068 2008-08-13T04:15:00Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Shawn+Mullins?rinfoid=66213619 Follow a Book, Check Aeronautical Charts in Google Earth Plugin Shawn mullins A couple of new applications of the new Google Earth API plugin have caught my attention.
