Mule Variations»rank: 1609par: Tom Waits
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Seven years passed between the release of Bone Machine and Mule Variations. During that time Tom Waits eschewed cutting another 'conventional' (the term used loosely here) song collection, occupying his time with acting projects, a soundtrack (Night on Earth), a stage project (The Black Rider), and sundry smaller diversions. What's surprising about Mule Variations is how little he's strayed from the old Bone yard through the years. As with his Grammy-winning 1992 outing, Waits intersperses the ... |

Safe As Milk.»rank: 12175par: Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:'l may be hungry, but l sure ain't weird,' Don Van Vliet, a.k.a. Captain Beefheart, famously intones on this bright-sounding remastered version of the 1967 debut by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. Safe as Milk is a bold, tough-ass distillation of Delta blues stomp and '60s garage-punk swagger, fused with a radically polyrhythmic and tempo-shifting style that one might term 'art rock.' Listening to the delightfully playful, absurdist 'Abba Zabba,' it's easy to see ... |

Tilt»rank: 47609par: Scott Walker
Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique amazon.fr:ll y a des disques qui ne cessent de se bonifier avec le temps. Ce ne sont d'ailleurs pas nécessairement ceux que l'on a adorés à la première écoute. C'est même souvent tout le contraire. Ainsi revient-on sans cesse à Rock Bottom de Robert Wyatt qui a su passer l'épreuve du temps. Aucun doute, Tilt est de cette trempe. Après de retentissants échecs commerciaux, la carrière de Scott Walker, dès 1974, va à vau-l'eau. Une longue ... |

Filed under: Car Buying, Etc., Green
Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.
Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
