Oct 9th, 2008 · F, Monday, Orange, February, Venus, Lunatic, 1 or 13, the improbably named, full-length debut from rock band Colourmusic, has a mouthful of a title, and it's not the only thing that's over-the-top about the Oklahoma group.

Jan 4th, 2007 · It's easy to focus on McKay's lunatic-fireball appeal, but the hymn-like "Gladd" offers a reminder that she's also capable of jaw-droppingly beautiful songs. With a Joni Mitchell-like purity, she sings a friend to a peaceful death over a simple series of piano chords that gently push forward with minimal ornamentation.
