'Til You've Seen Mine
$14.99
For fans of the "O Brother"/"Down From the Mountain" bluegrass revival, hop off the frieght and spend a little moonshine time with Tom House. He sounds like Doc Boggs suddenly sprung up from his grave and started singing again. But in spite of the inevitable comparisons, there's no hillbilly, early Dylan mimicry here. House has his own brand of originality with staggered rythmns and a mesmerizing intensity, not to mention a way with words. A true rarity, a first rate songwriter putting a contemprary edge into time worn tradition. With a voice creakier than the joints of a homemade casket, he sets about spinning tales of life just off the freeway. "Bull City Blues" starts things off with a cheerful romp of fiddle & jug. A footstomping ode to hard drinking in a small town. The next cut, "Sister's Song" is a moving account of a little sister turning her back on that Bad Seed of an elder brother. "The Cold Hard Curve of a Question Mark" and "Canada" are a heart breaking pair of love songs, on par with the likes Hank Williams. Full of yearning in the face of certain loss. In between ballads, House populates the album with hard drinking losers like "Elmer Smith" & seedy transient memories like "The Melbourne Hotel". "Down in the Hole" is easily one of the most intense cuts. An epic lament on "the failure of the will". Armed with an opening lines like, "You ain't seen no tears til you've seen mine", this one's guaranteed to haunt you long after the lights are out.The last tune is a "Letter from my Father" and it perfectly captures the unspoken, rocking chair wisdom of one's old man, wrestling the mortality of declining years. The kind of song that should earn House the title, "Poet Laureat South of Mason Dixon". So if you've worn out all your old Dylan records or are seeking a living breathing heir to the HARRY SMITH FOLK ANTHOLOGY, you can't go wrong here. Sure to please fans of Vic Chestnutt and the Stanley Brothers, Tom House is one of those rare songwriters who finger picks with dirt under his nails.

The Best DVDs You've Never Seen, Just Missed or Almost Forgotten: A Guide for the Curious Film Lover
$15.95
Peter Nichols (ed.), The Best DVDs You've Never Seen, Just Missed, or Almost Forgotten (New York Times, 2005)

This is a book whose stated aim is to bring to light obscure titles now available in America on DVD. A. O. Scott says in the preface that this is a guide to those movies "you may not have even known you were missing."

Then you get to the actual movies. It's a weird, weird universe where even the casual film buff has somehow forgotten About a Boy, Adaptation, Almost Famous, American Beauty, American Psycho, Angels in America, or Atlantic City. Many of them were nominated for Oscars, most of them won. (The two exceptions in that list were a TV miniseries that swept a number of Emmys and one of the most controversial mainstream films of the past twenty years.) And that's just the As. You'll see a lot of Oscar nominees in this book. None of them, I think, is all too terribly obscure. And yet while Scott also alleges that the book tends towards the "art film", which in America often translates to "flicks that aren't in English", this compilation glosses over the most celebrated foreign directors-- Kieslowski, Almodovar, Inarritu, Kusturica, etc.-- and manages to completely ignore a number of only slightly more obscure directors celebrated pretty much everywhere on the planet except America (for example, not a single Theo Angelopoulos movie makes an appearance).

Not bad if you consider that the title should have been The Best DVDs You've Just Never Gotten Around to Seeing After Hearing a Whole Lot of Hype About the Movies They Contain. ***
