Dan in Real Life $18.99 While in the beginning stages of making his film Dan in Real Life, director Peter Hedges went looking for someone to provide music the way Cat Stevens did for Harold and Maude or Simon & Garfunkel for The Graduate, someone to filter the meaning and feel of the movie through his songs. It’s hard to argue with his choice; ever since his first record, 2002′s Faces Down, Sondre Lerche has proven himself to be a fine chronicler of romantic confusion and winsome melancholy. Lerche was part of the process from almost the very beginning, even attending auditions for main characters and sleeping overnight in the house where the film was shot. The album is made up of a couple of songs from previous albums (a jazzy take on Elvis Costello’s “Human Hands” from 2006′s Duper Sessions; “Modern Nature,” his lovely duet with Lillian Samdal from 2002′s Faces Down; and the peppy “Airport Taxi Reception,” one of the highlights from 2007′s Phantom Punch), plus newly recorded songs. It being a soundtrack, there are several short instrumental pieces, most featuring Lerche on acoustic guitar with subtle backing from pedal steel, trumpet, or piano. They’re all very pretty and surely sound nice when sprinkled through the film, but what makes this soundtrack very good are the actual songs Lerche composed for the film. Best of the lot is the lilting and sweet-as-punch “To Be Surprised,” but the others are nearly as good, especially “Hell No,” a witty duet between Lerche and a very snappy Regina Spektor. Along with short instrumentals, another thing you’re sure to find on a soundtrack are stunt covers, easily recognizable songs rendered with a heavy dose of ironic hipness as an easy way to get audiences hooked without seeming like you’re pandering to them. Here Lerche adds syrupy strings to Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door” and escapes pretty harmlessly, but A Fine Frenzy’s stilted take on “Fever” makes one wish that Congress would pass a bill banning future covers of… |

USED: 11 Live: Jars of Clay in Concert [Video/DVD] $10.99 In August of 2002, Grammy Award winning foursome Jars of Clay released their first DVD, 11 Live: Jars of Clay In Concert. The project, which is also available on VHS, offers viewers a show from the band’s The Eleventh Hour tour, as well as a four-song acoustic set, a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of their March 2002 album, and a short documentary revealing aspects of their road life.The full-length concert features performances of songs including “Like A Child,” “Love Song For A Savior,” “Flood,” and “I Need You,” while the acoustic set consists of new arrangements of “Boy On A String,” “Needful Hands,” “Liquid,” and “Something Beautiful.”What stands out in the concert segments is the band’s versatility, as well as their ability to have fun. Lead singer Dan Haseltine is seen singing and drumming, as well as playing the accordion, shaker, and tambourine. Keyboardist Charlie Lowell splits his time between keyboards, piano, organ, shaker, and accordion. Guitarists Stephen Mason and Matt Odmark take turns donning acoustic and electric guitars. The behind-the-scenes making of The Eleventh Hour and the documentary, aptly titled “Artflick,” expose the bands’ quirky, fun-loving personalities. However, at the same time they show four men who are passionate about their craft and their Maker. An interesting aspect to the behind-the-scene’s glimpse is seeing the band’s Mac-based studio, and witnessing moments of the writing and recording process. Shots include those of band members sitting on a basement floor with guitar and pen and paper. Others feature songs being fine-tuned on the piano and guitar. In addition, numerous shots boast the Apple logo including several Power Books.The “Artflick,” by Sam Shifley, is serious at times, while at others it carries a ‘mockumentary’ feel. The band plays well at viewing themselves with humor. For example, they read a letter they received which is addressed to Third Day, commenting that they can change the… |
