What's New At G-POP.net:
An Actor Prepares - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the comedy starring Jeremy Irons.
Excerpt: "...I can honestly say that I enjoyed the soundtrack of An Actor Prepares. The music is quite enjoyable and the short, but not overly short tracks, made for an enjoyable experience that I couldn’t help but listen to multiple times..."
The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes - Melissa Minners reviews a dramatic mystery by Ruth Hogan.
Excerpt: "I was looking for something different to read when I came across The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes by Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things. I had heard great things about The Keeper of Lost Things and thought it might be interesting to read her new novel, especially thanks to the flowery cover and the tag line: “They say friends make life worth living.” That tag line definitely sold me..."
Blind - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a romantic drama starring Alec Baldwin, Demi Moore and Dylan McDermott.
Excerpt: "...After reading about the film and watching the preview, I can’t really say I understand the song selection. Unless one of the characters is into jazz. But I can say that the singing, particularly that of Sasha Lazard was beautiful, especially her work on The Sexiest Mistake. And Amy Lee – well, I loved her vocals when she was with Evanescence, so it goes without saying that I loved her work on Through Your Eyes..."
Pareidolia - Melissa Minners reviews the debut album of STOiK.
Excerpt: "Earlier this month, I got a message from good friend and talented musician and producer, Marc Meriläinen. He wondered if I would be interested in checking out some indigenous electronic pop from the Canadian artist STOiK. I love listening to new types of music and trust Marc as knowing talent when he hears it. I couldn’t wait to check out STOiK’s debut album, Pareidolia..."
The 6th Target - Melissa Minners reviews the sixth book in The Women's Murder Club series.
Excerpt: "I was looking through my bookshelves for a book I hadn’t read yet and, lo and behold, I came upon a book that was given to me a long time ago that never was opened. Guess what? It was time to head back to The Women’s Murder Club with The 6th Target..."
306 Hollywood - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a documentary that studies what story an individual's possessions tells about them after they are gone.
Excerpt: "...When I first listened to this score, I had trouble figuring out what this movie was about. There was this magical quality brought on by the choir in the first track, Model House Opening. But the next track, Grandma Interviews features a quirky jazz number. Knowing what I now know about this project and then listening to the score gave me greater perspective on what the composer was trying to do. Grandma must have been quite the character..."
