Eye to the Telescope
List Price:  |
DescriptionIf the art of the female singer-songwriter revolves around coffee-table soliloquies then Eye to the Telescope--the debut album from Edinburgh-born chanteuse/guitarist KT Tunstall--is a pleasing mediation between the traditional demands of brooding egocentricity (espresso) and frothy commerciality (cappuccino). KT Tunstall has star quality. "Suddenly I See" is an effortlessly liberating pop fillip while, conversely, "False Alarm" redresses ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" for losers who had nothing to lose to begin with. However, Tunstall isn't entirely convinced by the compromise ("I'm struggling to cater for the space I'm meant to fill" she sings) and "Miniature Disasters"--one of several strong numbers showcasing her aptitude for wrapping up pop tunes in either folky bluesiness or ponderous jazz--catalogues her desires for unfettered self-expression. The opening cut "Other Side Of The World" might sound like Dido without the giftwrapped grief (she's none too flattered with the comparisons) but Eye to the Telescope is spiritually closer to Carole King and Elvis Costello than Katie Melua. And that's no bad thing. --Kevin Maidment 12 tracks. Still sealed but this has a saw cut into the title spine. |
What should I look for my sister for her birthday?
My sisters birthday is in a couple of weeks and I've been going crazy trying to find something to get it. She is turning 34, he likes electronics and astronomy .. but she already has a telescope, a navigation system, iPod, a camera, video camera, a Blu-Ray, etc. All I could think to look, she already has! Any ideas on what I might be able to to buy? I'm on a budget of $ 200. She is a fan of country music, so I thought maybe the tickets for a concert, but he flew to Nashville this summer to see the CMA music festival and has seen all of your favorites in their individual concerts.
..... Dear Valerie, sounds like your sister has reached that age where it is very difficult to buy because they have more or less what you think you need. I know you probably want to buy a present for her, but at this time is much easier and better, probably much to give but a gift certificate instead of a gift, so she can get what he wants and not be disappointed by the gift something that really does not want. Therefore, to obtain a certificate to your favorite store or one of those gift cards like Visa that can be used anywhere you like, or just a nice card with two new hundred dollar bills in it.
