 All the Stars Came Out That Night $15.00 Although I managed to read the whole book (I rarely stop reading a book once I have started - no matter how bad) I hard a hard time getting past the several mistakes and other flaws in the book. From the first chapter in which the spelling of the town of Ossage, Kansas varies between "Ossage" and "Osage," I was on alert for more problems. It wasn't hard to find them. While other reviewers have mentioned that fans of baseball, especially baseball history, will enjoy this book, I found the several mistakes made it a frustrating read. True fans of baseball will have no problem picking apart the flaws in the description of the game played againt the black and white all star teams. Although I thought the premise of the book was interesting, I was disappointed in the book as a whole.  The Sun Came Out $24.98 7 Worlds Collide is a collaboration of numerous musical talents including Neil Finn, Tim Finn, members of Wilco, members of Radiohead, Bic Runga, KT Tunstall, Glenn Richards of Augie March, Don McGlashan and last but by no means least, Johnny Marr. There are also Finn family members chipping in as well. All I can say is that this is a huge surprise to me. A project on such a massive scale shouldn't work. Amazingly it works very very well. The songs are all of the highest quality. I especially love 'Too Blue' by Johnny Marr and Jeff Tweedy. It has a Nashville/Motown/Phil Spector-ish feel to it. It reminds me of 'Yes' by McAlmont and Butler as well. It's a very strong number. I also love 'Long Time Gone' by Don McGlashan. Tweedy of Wilco's 'You Never Know' is an all time classic. It reminds me of Travelling Wilburys. I am still listening to the whole album and I am enjoying the majority of the songs. Phil Selway, the Radiohead drummer, is a major surprise as well. He sounds not unlike Nick Drake on his two self penned numbers. What an exciting project. Great to hear a supergroup that actually works as well as the sum of the parts ! |
