    <description><![CDATA[Sometimes music doesn’t need to have a beat or vocals to be music. Sometimes it can be a feeling reflected in sounds, or a moment explained with noise. Music doesn’t need to go by its own rules to truly be music, it can be used as a tool to portray more than just a song or an&nbsp;album.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The more I listen to Fire On Fire, the more they make me think of A
Silver Mt Zion. It’s unlikely that I’ll ever buy another Mt Zion
record, or even listen to much of the back catalogue, something I used to make
real time for, like a high maintenance lover - but I’d definitely go and
see them again if I found myself nearby (it’d be my 6th time, not bad
for a&nbsp;Cornishman).]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[You have entertainers and then you have artists. You have music and then you have sound. You have gigs and then you have performances. All indirectly the same thing as their latter or former but all potentially completely different&nbsp;entities.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[When John Cockroft split the atom in 1932 I doubt he realised what he had actually done in the grand scheme of things. It may have helped win World War 2 but what about in a thousand years time? What potential does a split atom have when you split it again? Not only did he change the present but ultimately the future and everything after as&nbsp;well.]]></description>

    <link><![CDATA[http://strangeglue.com/reviews/ben-kweller-changing-horses]]></link>
    <description><![CDATA[2008 will be forever known as the year that revived folk. From Bon Iver to Fleet Foxes, Isobel Campbell &amp; Mark Lanegan to Laura Marling, Folk got more than its fair share of acclaim. So what of 2009? Will Christian Prog Metal rise to the occasion? Or will Classical Rap Jazz take the biscuit? By the sounds of Ben Kweller’s latest, it’ll be pure Easy Listening Country&nbsp;music.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Dharma
Warriors… I read that this was recorded in 1983, in
Woodstock. That’s a whole year before I was born. It’s
also 25 years after the publication of “The Dharma Bums”,
a novel by Jack Kerouac which documents the usual
jazz/cars/alcoholism and his introduction to Buddhism via poet Gary&nbsp;Snyder.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[There's a moment in The Shawshank Redemption where the protagonist Andy Dufresne barricades himself inside the radio room within the prison in which he is incarcerated. Hijacking the record player, he proceeds to impart his gift of music to the other&nbsp;prisoners.]]></description>

    <link><![CDATA[http://strangeglue.com/reviews/fall-out-boy-folie-deux]]></link>
    <description><![CDATA[The royal aide approached the queen and urged her "Your highness, the people are starving. They've run out of bread" to which Mary Antoinette famously (and perhaps fictitiously) replied callously "Let them eat cake". The concept of the aloof A-list has plagued celebrities for&nbsp;decades.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[This is the second record by a pairing of two of the most promising
fretted string players in Europe, and on paper is potentially a dream
coalition. James Blackshaw is perhaps England’s finest twelve string
acoustic guitarist, and is on a par with his contemporaries&nbsp;worldwide.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Few bands these days display true emotion through their music. Bright Eyes do it well and Brand New have been known to reduce a grown man to a crumpled, blubbering heap. Another name to add to the list then; The Twilight&nbsp;Sad.]]></description>
