	Robert Forster - Songs To Play
	• Manufacturer: AEC • SKU: 17415947 • UPC: 4015698002294 • Shipping: $1.24 • Description: Personnel: Luke McDonald (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Karin Bumler (vocals, tambourine); Scott Bromiley (vocals); Louis Forster (electric guitar). Audio Mixers: Scott Bromiley; Luke McDonald; Jamie Trevaskis. Recording information: 2014-2015. Photographer: Stephen Booth. Robert Forster's last album, The Evangelist from 2008, was steeped in grief and loss after the sudden death of his friend and Go-Betweens musical partner Grant McLennan. After its release, he retreated from active music making to write award-winning rock criticism that's been collected in the volume 10 Rules of Rock N Roll. He also compiled G Stands for Go-Betweens, the first of three retrospective box sets, and drafted his memoirs. Forster also produced records by Brisbane's the John Steel Singers and Halfway. Scott Bromley and Luke McDonald from the former are part of the cast of multi-instrumentalists who assist Forster on Songs to Play. The remainder are violinist and singer Karin Baumler (his wife) and touring drummer Matt Piele. Recorded in analog with engineer Jamie Trevaskis, these songs are direct and kinetic, full of hooks, rich in metaphors and irony, and a sleight-of-hand confessionalism. The set opens with "Learn to Burn," a genuine rocker with a bumping vamp between electric guitars and violin, a pulsing bassline and ticking snare, hi-hat and bass drum: "Time's a signal and you/Wait for changes/And the problem is ya' know/I got no patience...I'll stop for petrol/And I'll stop for Dylan/But that's the limit when/I get moving." Though rock & roll riffs are in your face, the quirky pop spirit of the Go-Betweens is never far away. It shines right through the sparkling romance in "Let Me Imagine You," the Jonathan Richman-esque "The Poet Walks" (complete with a mariachi trumpet solo) ("And given two choices/Two clear choices/I take both."), and the deft, angular hook that brings on "I Love Myself and I Always Have." The latter is a song more bitingly honest than ironic with its skittering snare and country-esque outro. Many songs here contain another easily marked reference: the Velvet Underground of "Run, Run, Run," "I Heard Her Call My Name," "Who Loves the Sun," and "Lonesome Cowboy Bill." Forster makes no attempt to hide it; he weaves their impact on him tightly inside his own aesthetic sense for melody and clear-voiced, first-person narration. Other notable cuts include the jaunty, Farfisa-kissed rocker "I'm So Happy for You," the love-worn reminiscence "Turn on the Rain," and the biting lament "Disaster in Motion." Songs to Play finds Forster at his most energetic and free. While this set can't be regarded as "unrestrained," these spirited, well-crafted songs offer rock & roll in a manner he's never even hinted at before. ~ Thom Jurek

The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because for many retailers it was the day they went from being in the red to being in the black when they became profitable for the year. It is also the official beginning of the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has become known for some of the best bargains, discounts and deals of the entire year! Everyone has watched stampeding crowds on the local news or diehard bargain hunters camping out overnight so they can be among the first to grab limited black friday specials at their favorite local retailers... However, if you prefer doing your holiday discount shopping from the warm and cozy comfort of home, then Cyber Monday was designed with you in mind! Online retailers spotted the Black Friday frenzy sweeping across the country as it took over brick and mortar locations - rather than compete for your black friday attention, they concocted a day that is all their own and named it Cyber Monday! The Monday after Thanksgiving is when your favorite online stores slash prices and offer their very best prices to help usher in the online holiday shopping season! That means big savings for you whether you choose to brave the local crowds on Black Friday or avoid the madness by browsing online during Cyber Monday Sales! Not to worry - the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving might get the most attention for discount holiday shopping, but if you procrastinate beyond that magical bargain hunting window it doesn't mean you will be completely left out... In fact, this promises to be an exceptionally consumer-friendly holiday shopping season with sales, coupons and discounts extending far beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday and allowing you to find the best prices on holiday gifts until the very last minute! Hoping to avoid discount shopping withdrawal? Even after Christmas and Hanukkah have come and gone, you'll still have After Holiday Specials to help usher in the New Year!
