Summary
TOM WAITS Glitter and Doom Live (Anti-) TOM Waits is adored by his public, that much is obvious from the applause that greets his appearance on this live album, which bursts upon the unsuspecting ear like the soundtrack to the Second Coming. He is a sacred mule. Glitter and Doom is a suitable title because it describes just what it is that Waits purveys: cathartic songs from a fabled gutter that he has never inhabited. Tom Waits is a delightful fake. Personally, I wouldn't bother with this record -- or any other live albums, except for two or three, come to that -- because lots of people who were there at the time have already sucked all the enjoyment from it.
PETE CLARK LADY GAGA The Fame Monster (Interscope) THE Fame, the debut album by New Yorker Stefani Germanotta, has not left our chart since January, demonstrating an insatiable public appetite for robotic electropop by a woman who dresses like an explosion in a circus. It will continue to dominate well into next year thanks to this repackaging featuring eight new songs. There's Telephone, an exuberant duet with Beyonce; Alejandro, which mimics the Latin feel of Madonna's La Isla Bonita; and the bonkers marching music of Teeth. However, it's a shame that the deluxe edition isn't yet available in this country, a bumper book including puzzles, dolls and even a lock of her hair.See the full content of this document
