Getting back to everyday business sounds like sweet relief on tracks like "Twerk," a collaboration with Yo Majesty. And while this is the kind of lunk-headed party theme you`d expect from such a pairing, two of the other marquee-worthy collaborations far exceed expectations. First up is the hot-stepping Santigold cut "Saga" which suggests that a shared love of the Clash and the Specials was discussed ahead of time. More stunning is the Yoko team-up "Day of the Sunflowers (We March On)" which takes a "Walking on Thin Ice" strategy, supporting Ms. Ono`s stark poetry reading with a razor-sharp, no wave dance track. The wistful "My Turn," with Lightspeed Champion, is like a grand, danceable dreamer that shows up towards the end of the best Pet Shop Boys albums. While it`s a bumpier ride than expected, SCARS is a worthwhile throwback to the kind of freak-attitude that kicked off their career over a decade earlier.

| | Scars of Love $15.05 The message of Scars of Love, Tears of Hope is simple. Become a "keeper of hope" and change the life of a child forever. Scars of Love explores the world of education in a surprising new light by using as a backdrop the stories of numerous at-risk kids Debbie Goforth has taught and counseled over her 27-year-career by exploring the remarkably effective approach she has developed in giving them hope for their futures. Scars of Love is based upon eleven attributes that an effective "keeper of hope" must demonstrate, from being approachable and dependable to creating hopes and dreams and showing compassion. It represents the tools that have helped the author to acknowledge and validate her kids, to make them feel good about themselves and their places in the world, and, most important by far, to show them how much she cares for them as people and individuals, not just as warm bodies. It should be of no surprise to find love at the center of this model, because none of the attributes the book discusses mean a thing if they don`t lead to a willingness to love the kids in our care. For educators, as adults, as keepers of hope, we have a choice. We can choose to leave scars of love on the kids we see and interact with everyday or we can leave scars of hurt. In the eyes of Debbie Goforth, the answer is the only one she is capable of leaving: scars of love. SCARS OF LOVE may be written from a teacher`s point of view, but it is meant for anyone who loves kids and longs for their happiness and success. The stories are as poignant as they are refreshing. They evoke tears as well as laughter. They inspire as well as educate. They illustrate the author`s eleven attributes the way a beautiful painting brings to life a moving landscape. Join us. Become a keeper of hope. |

| | Basement Jaxx - Singles $18.79 It took several years for house producers to catch up with Basement Jaxx. Alternately, as some might argue, several years passed before Basement Jaxx decelerated enough for anyone sharing a vaguely similar stylistic slant to meet up with them. Even if 2003`s Kish Kash wasn`t bubbling over with new ideas and previously unfathomable contortions and combinations of old ideas, as Remedy and Rooty had done before, the Jaxx still did it better than anyone else, melting down 30 years of dance and pop, simultaneously casting fresh looks on both forms. They are to house what Miles Davis is to jazz, what Chuck Berry is to rock, what Public Enemy is to rap. The Singles, a timely and nearly faultless stop-gap compilation, picks the A-sides from the three albums, adding earlier cuts "Samba Magic" and "Flylife," only two examples of why the debut LP was so heavily anticipated. Here`s the only bad aspect: despite boldly displaying most of the duo`s strengths, all of these A-sides just happen to be intended for clubs and high-speed driving, so the set doesn`t show casual fans how adept the Jaxx have been at mellow material, let alone the moments that disconnect completely from house constructs without any hiccups. Those who are fully aware of the duo`s versatile brilliance and hang on their every beat might also do well to pick up the disc; the single edits offer some slight variations on the album versions, and the manner in which they are presented, typically stripped down to three-minutes-and-change, makes a durable argument for the duo as supreme pop songwriters. There`s also a pair of new tracks. The rubbery "Oh My Gosh," easily the best of the two, is deliciously flirtatious and cartoonish, if more of a fitting Jaxx-past-in-miniature parcel than an indication of what lies ahead. It`s just as pleasurable as saying the name of the song`s vocalist, Vula Malinga, out loud. ~ Andy Kellman Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |
| | Basement Jaxx - Crazy Itch Radio $15.67 Basement Jaxx: Felix Buxton, Simon Ratcliffe.If dance music`s ethos is primarily one that favors a less-is-more approach, Basement Jaxx have willfully thumbed their noses at this convention since the mid 1990s. Favoring an often-dizzying mash-up of styles, CRAZY ITCH RADIO is a vivid, splashy, and occasionally disorderly ride through musical reference points as diverse as roller-boogie disco, hip-hop, and Latin freestyle. The album is thematically tied together by a narrative based on an imaginary radio station--and indeed the edit-happy, cut-and-paste aesthetic is not aurally dissimilar to a collage created by randomly dialing through pop and R&B stations. However, the songs hold up to repeated plays through the Jaxx`s inventive production and soulful guest vocal contributions by Linda Lewis and Robyn. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

| | Basement Jaxx - Rooty $16.51 Basement Jaxx: Felix Burton, Simon Ratcliffe (vocals, various instruments).Additional personnel includes: Kele Le Roc, Elliot May, Jill Draper, Alma Duah, Cherokee, Mandy, Lion, Crystal (vocals); Cassie (rap vocals); Quentin Collins (trumpet); Derrick Carter, Erick Morillo, Junior Sanchez, Michael Moog, Corryne (background vocals).Basement Jaxx: Felix Buxton, Simon Ratcliffe.Personnel: Derrick Carter , Erick "More" Morillo, Felix Buxton, Junior Sanchez, Simon Ratcliffe (vocals).Sophomore album blues from a pair of producers who just want to party all night and make a few tracks during the day? Not a chance. Two years of globetrotting as house superstars fortunately haven`t dulled the keen blade of Basement Jaxx`s production style. So raw you can`t believe they spent over an hour per track, so perfect you`re glad they stopped noodling about long before most producers would, and so poppy they should get picked up by commercial radio in America as well as the rest of the world, Rooty is the second straight triumph from a pair of producer/DJs who look set to carry the torch for dancefloor electronica in the years to come. Titled after the duo`s just-recently-closed club night, this is a true party album -- shot through with no-attention-span tangents, bridges, and interrupted samples, nowhere better than on the psychedelic soul of "Broken Dreams," with its Tijuana Brass horns and Middle Eastern flute. Though it`s missing the genre-spanning flair and red-line energy that made 1999`s Remedy the best dance album of the `90s, Rooty comes very close, with a similar emphasis on swinging rhythms and slapping percussion. It`s much funkier than Remedy, much closer to commercial pop, and much more sensuous, with several tracks of moaning, juiced-up funk from the Prince playbook. The opener, "Romeo," is groovy and luscious enough to be the next single from Destiny`s Child (with a tad more vocal histrionics), and almost every track features vocalists who sound less like professional singers (or flavor-of-the-month robots) and more like they`ve been tapped as finalists at a posh karaoke bar. (A few of those female-sounding vocalists are actually the Jaxx themselves, altered slightly.) Add a little filtered disco ("Jus 1 Kiss"), a track of rowdy New York house (the Gary Numan-sampling "Where`s Your Head At," with background shouting from Erick Morillo and Junior Sanchez), bleepy acid house ("Crazy Girl"), and some P-Funked-up house ("Breakaway") and the result is a stunning, diverse album that`s not only an immediate winner but a great album down the line as well. You can take the boys out of Brixton, but you just can`t take Brixton out of the boys. ~ John Bush Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

The opener, "Romeo," is groovy and luscious enough to be the next single from Destiny`s Child (with a tad more vocal histrionics), and almost every track features vocalists who sound less like professional singers (or flavor-of-the-month robots) and more like they`ve been tapped as finalists at a posh karaoke bar. (A few of those female-sounding vocalists are actually the Jaxx themselves, altered slightly.) Add a little filtered disco ("Jus 1 Kiss"), a track of rowdy New York house (the Gary Numan-sampling "Where`s Your Head At," with background shouting from Erick Morillo and Junior Sanchez), bleepy acid house ("Crazy Girl"), and some P-Funked-up house ("Breakaway") and the result is a stunning, diverse album that`s not only an immediate winner but a great album down the line as well. You can take the boys out of Brixton, but you just can`t take Brixton out of the boys. ~ John Bush Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |
