Original Soundtrack
Get Low
$15.98 $13.98
From the 2010 major motion picture featuring Academy Award® winner Robert Duvall, Golden Globe winner Bill Murray, Academy Award® winner Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black, Get Low follows the story of the mysterious 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party...while he was still alive. The soundtrack combines an all-star cast of musicians. Academy Award® winning composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's dramatic score is both moving and haunting. 12 time Grammy winner and the world's most renowned Dobro player, Jerry Douglas, sweeps us away to the Southern countryside with his authentic jams. Grammy nominated and IBMA award winning band The SteelDrivers enliven the mood with their bluegrass renditions of traditional folk songs. 25 time Grammy winner Alison Krauss' beautiful closing song leaves the audience with a tear in their eye, but a smile on their face. The rest of the soundtrack is wonderfully appointed with vintage classics from The Ink Spots, Gene Austin, Paul Whiteman and Bix Beiderbecke.

Mark Olson (Jayhawks)
Many Colored Kite [Digipak] *
$14.98
2010 album from Mark Olson, co-founder of legendary Americana band The Jayhawks and a critically acclaimed artist whose influential catalog spans 25 years. Many Colored Kite is the follow up to his 2007 personal milestone Salvation Blues, which was a New York Times Critics pick. Many Colored Kite greets the listener with its earthy, neo-Folk feel that encompasses classic and '60's British Folk as well as the "desert country" that he has been associated with in the past.
Tom Jones
Praise & Blame
$9.98
"We wanted to go back to basics, go back to the source, it was just me singing live with a rhythm section - no overdubbing, no gimmicks, no complicated horn and string arrangements, just get the song down in an entire take, capture the meaning of the song, its spirituality, its life, and capture that moment, right there. And I think that's what we've done," says Tom Jones, the veteran singer from Wales, who turns 70 this year and who has just completed `Praise and Blame', his follow up to 2008's acclaimed `24 Hours' and quite simply his finest work to date.
It is a truly remarkable record, one that captures the Tom Jones who listened to Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe on the radio as a child growing up, who thought gospel music was "just like rock'n'roll, every bit as exciting but with deeper lyrics", the Tom Jones who belted out The Lord's Prayer as a jubilatory spiritual in school assembly, "because that was the only way I knew how to sing it, it was natural for me."
This is Tom Jones going back to his roots on an album of gospel, blues, traditional and country songs, wearing his heart on his sleeve, emotionally raw and true.
Recording with producer Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ray LaMontagne, Paolo Nutini, Laura Marling) at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in the little village of Box in Wiltshire, coaxed the most exhilarating performances out of the singer.
With musicians including steel guitarist BJ Cole, keyboardist Booker T Jones (of Memphis soul legends Booker T and the MGs), Hammond organist Chris Holland and background vocalists Gillian Welch, Alison Pierce, Dave Rawlings and Orin Waters at hand, Tom has quite simply delivered his tour de force. It's him bearing his soul, singing from the heart, telling it like it is.

JP, CHRISSIE & THE FAIRGROUND BOYS
If You Let Me [7 inch]
$6.99
Chrissie just keeps on making us smile. This time it's about the new record, FIDELITY!, but also about the story behind it, kind of a really kick-ass rock version of a made-for-tv movie: Bad-ass rocker girl meets scruffy Welsh guy, dares him to write a song, likes the song, likes the boy, boy and girl hole up in a hotel room in Cuba, write an album, form a band, rock out happily ever after. The album actually probably tells the stories better. But until FIDELITY! is released in August, hear some new music on a special indies-only 7". What's on the 7"? A brand new song, "If You Let Me" and "Skinny Love", a Bon Iver cover, recorded live in Chicago.
Cruel Hand
Lock and Key *
$13.97
Full of just as many catchy, metallic riffs as mosh parts, Lock & Key is a heavy mix of influences like Madball, Leeway, Cro-Mags, Metallica, Suicidal, Obituary, and is one of the most well-rounded hardcore albums in recent memory. Lock & Key was recorded in Wakefield, MA with producer Jay Maas (Verse, Bane, Defeater) and illustrates what Cruel Hand is capable of both lyrically and musically- this is more than just a progression of their past material, this is a defining release for Cruel Hand. Since the release of Cruel Hand's Bridge Nine debut, Prying Eyes, in 2008, the band has been a relentless touring machine and one of the tightest bands in the hardcore world. Cruel Hand has shared the stage with bands like Have Heart, Bane, Terror, and Death Before Dishonor, and will continue to tour the globe non-stop in support of Lock & Key.

Jaill
That's How We Burn
$13.98
Jaill is a psych-pop 4-piece from Milwaukee, with undeniable guts. In early 2009 they released There's No Sky (Oh My My), an irresistibly catchy, moving, dirty, sarcastic, and new 12-song LP. The album caught the attention of Sub Pop, with stand-out tracks recalling the glory of '90s lo-fi pop. Recorded at his Mystery Room studio with Justin Perkins, the new Jaill album, That's How We Burn, finds the band wrapping its head and arms solidly around a laid-back but creatively effortless brand of pop: bright guitars and amped-up energy skipping like a stone over dense lyrics.

$14.95
Guerilla filmmaker Brendan Toller unleashes I NEED THAT RECORD! THE DEATH (OR POSSIBLE SURVIVAL) OF THE INDEPENDENT RECORD STORE, "an elegy for a vanishing subculture...a lively, bittersweet film that examines - with caustic humor, brutal candor, and, ultimately, great affection - why roughly 3,000 indie record stores have closed across the nation over the past decade," (Johnathan Perry, Boston Globe). A tour-de-force tale of greed, media consolidation, homogenized radio, big box stores, downloading, and technological shifts in the music industry told through candid interviews, crestfallen record store owners, startling statistics, and eye-popping animation. Fat cats or our favorite record stores? You decide. Featuring- IAN MACKAYE, NOAM CHOMSKY, MIKE WATT, THURSTON MOORE, LENNY KAYE (Patti Smith), CHRIS FRANTZ (Talking Heads), GLENN BRANCA, PATTERSON HOOD (Drive By Truckers), PAT CARNEY (Black Keys) , LEGS MCNEIL, BOB GRUEN, BP HELIUM, and many indie record stores across the U.S.

Grateful Dead
At The Hollywood Festival Nort
$38.98
As John Peel so rightly says Hollywood Festival and the arrival of the Grateful Dead for their first performance in the UK was a defining moment. The late sixties / early seventies counter culture and music scene in the UK had always aspired to West Coast USA bands and their ideology of large outdoor concerts. North West England with a strong counter culture, arts and music scene would go on after Hollywood Festival in subsequent years to see festival events and large outdoor rock concerts no longer just held in the south of England. In the same spirit as the Grateful Dead and crowd gathering at Hollywood in1970 the North West would go on to stage Bickershaw Festival 1972 (Grateful Dead again) , Deeply Vale Festivals 1976-1979, Rivington Pike Free Festival 1976 and 1977, the Northern Carnival Against the Nazis, Alexandra Park Manchester 1978, and the Northern Carnival Against Cruise Missiles, Alexandra Park Manchester 1981. Some archive film exists of these other great music/counter culture events and if they haven t been covered yet by DVD they may well be soon. Thanks to the late Mr Burgoyne of Burgoyne Film and Audio Services the audio and the film footage of The Grateful Dead (Free, Family and Screaming Lord Sutch ) at the Hollywood Festival 1970 was recorded for posterity. Added to Mr Burgoyne's film was some footage supplied by Mr Colover. Originally archived by Burgoyne Film and Audio the whole lot was then forgotten for a few years but it has now finally seen the light of day with what bits of Grateful Dead film and stills there were, being integrated with the Burgoyne Grateful Dead sound recording in an artistic way. This is not a big budget Woodstock movie production but it is an important glimpse at archive film and audio of the Grateful Dead's first visit to the UK. Put together by Burgoyne Film and Audio Services using their archive sound recordings of the event plus their rare film footage combined with Bob Colover s short bits of film and incorporating rare stills of the event what you have is a document of the first time the Grateful Dead came to play in the UK fairly wacky disjointed film though it is in some parts as someone in the Grateful Dead s entourage spiked everyone involved on filming the event with LSD!!!!. A bonus CD from the mixing desk is also included of the Grateful Dead s set. The dvd is ntsc region 0. A total of 17 live Grateful Dead tracks, 5 on the film and 12 on the cd. DVD running time 1 hour 11 mins, CD audio running time 1 hour 14 minutes. The tracks on the CD are different to those on the DVD Tracklisting from the Grateful Dead CD : 1 announcements and tune up /intro 2 not fade away 3 turn on your lovelight 4 china cat sunflower 5 i know you rider 6 hard to handle 7 cryptical 8 drums 9 the other one 10 cryptical envelopement 11 attics of mylife 12 cold rain and snow. // DVD Tracklisting : Grateful Dead 1 casey jones, 2 st stephen, 3 dark star, 4 me and my uncle, 5 good lovin. / 6 Free - alright now. / 7 Family - good news bad news. / 8 Screaming lord sutch - cause i love you. / 9 Radha krishna temple - hare krishna chant.

"The drive to Memphis is all farmland, and everyone is community-oriented, God-fearing people, connected to the earth. The music that came out of that part of the world is a part of who I am, and it's the biggest inspiration for what I do and why I do it."

Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse
Dark Night Of The Soul
$15.98 $13.98
Dark Night Of The Soul is an album by audio auteur Danger Mouse and the already much-missed Sparklehorse. The record sees the pair joined by the following remarkable roll call of guests: The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), Black Francis (The Pixies), Iggy Pop, David Lynch, James Mercer (The Shins/Broken Bells), Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Suzanne Vega and Vic Chesnutt. Rumors of this mysterious collaborative project began to circulate in early 2009 sparking widespread anticipation and excitement. Now, following months of talks, Danger Mouse and EMI are excited and proud to announce that Dark Night Of The Soul will be released worldwide in July.
While this beautiful, haunting record being made widely and legitimately available is undoubtedly a cause for celebration, the news is shadowed by sadness following the recent passing of Mark Linkous, who released and performed under the Sparklehorse pseudonym. Dark Night Of The Soul will now stand as a de facto tribute to this well-loved, stunningly talented yet often-overlooked artist. In addition to featuring on two songs, celebrated fi lm director David Lynch has created a series of original photographs for Dark Night Of The Soul adding a spectacular visual dimension that will be incorporated in to the artwork for this already unparalleled project.

At 8 years old, Maya moved back to London, where she and her family were housed as refugees from the civil unrest in their native region. Maya learned proper English at school and slang at home by listening to NWA and Public Enemy on the radio.
In 2000, Maya was encouraged by electro-clash icon Peaches to make music on a Roland MC-505 Groovebox and she pulled lyrics from journals she had written during a 4 month trip to the Caribbean island of St. Vincent to craft her first songs. In 2005, she released Arular, and reached the mainstream charts in Europe and the U.K. It was considered as much a political statement as a musical one, as it referenced the Tamil Tigers.
In 2007, Kala was released. Like Arular, it received unanimous international critical praise. It topped multiple "Best of the Year" lists in publications around the world with its deft mixture of politics, social consciousness, and inimitable genre-blending.

$16.98 $14.98
Their ninth offering, 'Korn III -Remember Who You Are,' is their first effort for brand new label home, Roadrunner Records, and it bursts at the seams with that very feeling that defined the band from the get-go. Each song unleashes an uneasiness reminiscent of Korn's earliest and most unbridled material, but there's also a modern refinement that's epic in its execution. Korn definitely don't lose sight of their roots on 'Korn III - Remember Who You Are,' but they also venture into uncharted darkness. All that truly matters is where they're going. The album strikes a balance between their past and their future, as it finds the band reuniting with producer Ross Robinson, who manned the boards for their first two records, all the while joining forces with Roadrunner Records, the world's leading rock label. With 'Korn III - Remember Who You Are,' it's their time...

Each song unleashes an uneasiness reminiscent of Korn's earliest and most unbridled material, but there's also a modern refinement that's epic in its execution. Korn definitely don't lose sight of their roots on 'Korn III - Remember Who You Are,' but they also venture into uncharted darkness. All that truly matters is where they're going. The album strikes a balance between their past and their future, as it finds the band reuniting with producer Ross Robinson, who manned the boards for their first two records, all the while joining forces with Roadrunner Records, the world's leading rock label. With 'Korn III - Remember Who You Are,' it's their time...

Only Son/There Was A Father

These rare early films from Yasujiro Ozu (Tokyo Story, An Autumn Afternoon) are considered by many to be two of the Japanese director’s finest works, paving the way for a career among the most sensitive and significant in film history.

In the former, Ozu’s first sound film, made during a time of intense economic crisis, a mother sacrifices her own happiness for her son’s education; the latter, released in the midst of World War II, stars Ozu stalwart Chishu Ryu (Late Spring, Tokyo Story) as a widowed schoolteacher trying to raise a son despite financial hardship.

They call him Moth , a hard-luck brawler paroled after serving time for a murder he didn t commit and turned loose into a city decayed by 20 years of Communism.

Tonight, one man will stop at nothing to correct the crimes of the past...or die trying. Zahary Baharov stars in this moody and twisted thriller from director Javor Gardev that blends elements of Eastern European urban grit with hard-boiled American noir to create one of the most electrifying international triumphs in the history of new Bulgarian cinema.
Our Family Wedding
$27.98

Aniston/Butler
Bounty Hunter
$27.98 $24.98
In the bouncy romantic comedy The Bounty Hunter, Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler aim to be a contemporary Nick and Nora for an audience that's never even heard of The Thin Man. Ex-cop-turned-bounty hunter Milo Boyd (Butler, 300) is ecstatic when he gets his new assignment: his ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurley (Aniston), has skipped bail to pursue a breaking story. Naturally, when he catches her, he also gets caught up in the mystery--though the mystery is really just an excuse for quirky comic bickering between the estranged lovebirds. Refreshingly, the script has the kind of off-beat rhythms and flavors of comedy-action flicks like Midnight Run, Out of Sight, and Something Wild, and the supporting cast (featuring Christine Baranski, Mamma Mia!; Peter Greene, Pulp Fiction; Jeff Garlin, Curb Your Enthusiasm; Siobhan Fallon, Saturday Night Live; Cathy Moriarty, Raging Bull; and beloved character actress Carol Kane) is a colorful collection of great faces and pungent personalities. It's unfortunate that the leads are a tad bland; Aniston and Butler aren't bad, but they don't have the snap, crackle, and pop that the movie craves. Nonetheless, The Bounty Hunter rises above the average Hollywood rom-com. --Bret Fetzer

Brooklyn'S Finest
$26.98 $24.98
Something of a genre homecoming, Antoine Fuqua's latest film once again finds him delving into the gritty, brutal realm of cops and crooks—as he did in Training Day. Tango is an undercover officer on a narcotics detail that forces him to choose between duty and friendship. Having been to hell and back, he wants out, but the powers that be won't let him quit. Family-man Sal is a detective tempted by greed and corruption. He can barely make ends meet, and now his wife has an illness that threatens the life of their unborn twins. Eddie is nearing retirement age and has long since lost his dedication to his job as a cop. He wakes up every morning trying to come up with a reason to go on living...and he can't think of one. Fate brings the three men to the same Brooklyn housing project as each takes the law into his own hands. Crosscutting between multiple subplots, Brooklyn's Finest unfolds violently and passionately as coiled, constantly roving cinematography contributes a measure of unease to the underworld action.
