A List: March 25, 2004

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: March 25, 2004

LISTENING: - Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 | It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed an American pop/rock album by a new band this much. The ENTIRE album. Lead singer Adam Levine’s vocal mannerisms on “Harder to Breathe” and “This Love” remind me of Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen. Combined with the fact the rest [...]

A List: January 28, 2004

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: January 28, 2004

LISTENING: - His and Her Circumstances, Act 1.0 Original Soundtrack | Full-length versions of both the opening (“An Angel’s Promise”) and closing (“Into a Dream”) are featured, plus jazzy background music. When I watched the series, the music was just another cool part of the overall experience. To my surprise, the entire CD and all [...]

A List: November 24, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: November 24, 2003

This time my favorite track is “Taking Over Me.” - X Original Soundtrack II | Some really pretty orchestral work with this series. WATCHING: - GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka, Vol. 9: Field Trips | More fun stuff, and I swear, there [...]

A List: October 6, 2003

By Alison L. Roberts | Published: October 6, 2003

LISTENING: - JPOP CD | Everyone who has come in contact with me since AWA is probably sick of hearing about this CD. If you’re not super-familiar with Japanese pop and rock, it’s a good gateway compilation. WATCHING: - My Sassy Girl | How’s this for diversity? A Korean, life-action flick with subtitles. It is [...]
