The Magnetic Fields – DistortionDistortion is the album many around Seattle will be buzzing about today, considering the fact that Magnetic Fields two-night March showcase at Town Hall has completely sold out. Over at Amazon, folks are already spouting off their two cents. Quoth Cale from Conroe, Texas: “Though there is no thematic ribbon that ties the songs together, the actual album is in fact a mess of distortion and feedback. As a band who has made a name for themselves by making stately and generally straightforward music, something as raw and dirty as distortion seems like a mismatch… though, this new element allows the band to explore some previously uncharted territory.” See them next: March 6 and 7 at Town Hall. (SOLD OUT!)Neil Young – Chrome Dreams II (LP)Young’s newbie on wax! Yes! I hope I’ll see you at the record store later, BJB. You have no excuse!See him next: In your chrome dreams.Spice Girls – Greatest HitsSomeone was probably paid handsomely to compile a couple of Spice Girls’ well-known stateside singles along with some others that weren’t, call it a greatest hits collection, and call it a day. A decade after their run, are there really many people who still care about Spice Girls? Apparently, there are. See them next (prediction): An awards show or on an On Demand-premiere of sold out London-reunion tour. I Am Legend – O.S.T. (Score)Haven’t seen the movie, haven’t heard the score, or Mike Patton’s contributing vocal acrobatics, but from reviews I’ve read, this very well could be the best thing since the Kronos Quartet did the Requiem for a Dream score.
