Peaches the ‘Cream’ of the Crop
Her fourth album, “I Feel Cream,” continues in the fine legacy of naughty songs with catchy beats, but with this album, she continues the refinement begun on her last album, “Impeach My Bush.”

Everything’s Coming up Daisy!
Daisy, an artist from Sweden, is following an unusual trek, signing to the U.S.-based Robbins prior to a release in her home country or elsewhere in Europe.  It’s an unusual move for Robbins too, which normally grooms acts from within the U.S. or licenses hot European offerings.  However, based on what I’ve seen, it’s an astute move.

Pet Shop Boys Strike Gold Again

Sarah Brightman, Enya Offer Holiday Releases
Two artists who have blazed their own path musically each opted to release a holiday CD in 2008. Here's our take.

Jack’s Mannequin Rocks Toad’s Place
Four years and one day later, I finally got to see McMahon perform again, when his band Jack’s Mannequin came back to Toad’s Place to promote their latest release, “The Glass Passenger.”

Cascada's New 'Day' Far from 'Perfect'
With the second release, “Perfect Day,” some of the same flaws become apparent.
