Bye Bye Birdie - Bye Bye Birdie - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The first of the great rock 'n' roll musicals, a two-time Oscar nominee with a soundtrack that charted for 55 weeks! Janet Leigh, Dick Van Dyke, Ann-Margret-this was some cast, and this adds three unreleased bonus tracks, new liners and rare photos. A rollicking joyride through a candy-colored early-'60s landscape!

Vinyl LP pressing. Fallen Trees is the new album by singular talent and literal force of nature Lubomyr Melnyk - known as 'the prophet of the piano' due to his lifelong devotion to his instrument. Cascades of notes, canyons and rivers of sound there's something about his music that channels the natural world at it's most awe-inspiring. In Fallen Trees the connection with the environment continues, taking it's cue from a long rail journey Melnyk made through Europe. Glancing out of the window as the train passed through a dark forest, he was struck by the sight of trees that had recently been felled. InchThey were glorious,Inch he says. InchEven though they'd been killed, they weren't dead. There was something sorrowful there, but also hopeful.Inch That sense of sadness touched by optimism infuses the album, too rarely has Melnyk made music so shot through with melancholy and regret, but which sounds so rapt, even radiant.

Formed in Melbourne in late 2008, Twerps enjoyed immediate success, releasing a series of vinyl singles and cassettes on various labels around the world. Their 2011 self-titled debut album was recorded with producer Jack Farley at Head Gap, marking the band's first foray into a 'bona fide' recording studio. The of Twerps led to appearances at SXSW and CMJ and tours with Real Estate, Mac DeMarco, and others. Not wanting to wait until 2015 to unleash new songs on present and future fans, Twerps quickly recorded the delightful UNDERLAY EP. And now, Merge brings you Twerps' second full-length album, RANGE ANXIETY. Also recorded with Jack Farley, it's title refers to a debilitating fear of running out of gas - both literally and metaphysically. RANGE ANXIETY is a worthy showcase of the creativity and vitality Twerps bring to their music. At first listen, nods to the Go-Betweens and the band's beloved Flying Nun influences are clear, but upon closer examination, Twerps expand into a sound uniquely their own.
