		<description><![CDATA[Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral

As with so many people, The Downward Spiral was my introduction to Nine Inch Nails. I was already listening to industrial music, having long been a fan of Ministry, and this was a near-total reinvention of the genre. &#8220;Mr. Self Destruct&#8221; blasting out of the gate at the start of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=123&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tori Amos: Under the Pink

While Tori Amos&#8217; debut album, Little Earthquakes was very confessional, open and intimate, and as much as Under the Pink was described upon its release as a lateral move for her, it is certainly a step away into more conceptual songwriting. Under the Pink is indeed something of a concept album, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=83&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beck: Mellow Gold

It is amazing that after over a dozen years of Beck later, Mellow Gold is still utterly alien. Just think &#8211; this was Beck&#8217;s pop breakthrough. There are few who can get away with channeling Jandek and still manage some kind of bizarro-world lo-fi outsider artist crossover success, but that is what happened [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=75&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Giant Sand: Glum

Glum, well yes, actually. It&#8217;s quite a toned-down affair from all their albums prior. From the time of being The Giant Sandworms throughout their Homestead and Restless years, their albums had a certain vibe. It was as if the recording studio was in someone&#8217;s rec room, in a big rambling hacienda, where they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=59&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Jazz and poetry &#8211; the domain of the hep and with it. Every hack cartoonist can denote a love of both things by placing a character in a coffeehouse, dressed in black, ideally with shades and unfortunate facial hair. The trouble is that both jazz and poetry have been shuffled off the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=28&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Death hangs all around Grace. It&#8217;s not just that Buckley died before he finished the next album, but a sense of morbidity that stains the texture of the songs like blood and wine. These are songs written in a classic jazz vocal style, &#8220;Mojo Pin&#8221; is the nineties heroin strung-out equivalent of &#8220;Gloomy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jshopa.wordpress.com&blog=3555785&post=25&subd=jshopa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
