If this is Billy being deep, then I'd hate to see his flippant side.......2007-07-17
My problem with Tarantula is that it hardly brings anything new to the table. BC is merely doing a rehash of what people already know. Yes, we are unhandily obsessed with the culthood of celebrity. This is not breaking news. I'm not sure what reaction Billy expected by putting Paris on the cover. Did he think people would turn off The Hills, pick up the latest Mother Jones, and call their state senator?
If anything, the whole thing smacks of opportunism and hypocrisy on Billy's part. For example, see the Pumpkins MySpace saturation. See their latest contest of "make your own Tarantula video using our original green-screen footage!". See Billy's childish blog postings of "It's James' fault that SP broke up! D'Arcy was a mean-spirited, drug-addict! "
Don't bite the hand that feeds you, BC.
I'm guessing Billy was one of those people that made fun of the elected Homecoming royalty in high school but secretly dreamt of being voted king himself. Now he has graduated to criticizing E!'s coverage choices but where would Billy be without his fawning fans? The man clearly enjoys his celebrity status.
As for the song itself, it hardly breaks any new ground musically or lyrically. Yeah, it's full of (misdirected) rage but it has all the power of a banana-cream pie being dropped from a ten-foot ladder. Which is too bad when you consider the power of true zeitgeist songs like Eve of Destruction, Blowin' in the Wind, Imagine, or Orange Crush. Tarantula hardly rates among these tunes.
Borrowing a trick from BC... Here are my b-sides for the title of this review.
OMG! This isn't gr8, it sux...
Billy, meet the pot and the kettle.
The drama queen has no clothes.
Would you like some weienerschnitzel with your zeitgeist, Frau Corgan?
No, I meant what does "ironic" mean?
The song is good and the album cover is a commentary.......2007-07-16
Overall, Tarantula is a guitar driven pop track that is new and classic Pumpkins all at the same time. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. Death From Above isn't so good, and sounds like a repetitious b-side from Billy's solo project.
Unfortunately, I don't think most internet posters are as philosophical as Billy. He is commenting on social decadence and fascination of the public with celebrity, even in the face of the increasingly frightening political front. Ironically, he is also commenting on the absurdity of people gaining notoriety for nothing. Something, those posting opinions on web-forums and review sites should take note of.
One final note, Zeitgeist is an album not about politics or social issues in general. Even though it is a political album, it isn't saying one side or another is right or wrong, it is personal in that it is just Billy's feelings and thoughts about these subjects. I have seen some posts saying that the poster won't listen to an album that is against the war in Iraq. Although the album implies that Billy doesn't agree with the war, it doesn't explicitly criticize it. It more just comments on how Americans are (more interested in Paris Hilton than politics, we are all stars since the advent of the internet, blogs, and MySpace, and overall the system is broken).
I really can't see how putting Paris Hilton on an album cover as a commentary, should yield such a vehement reaction. What has she ever done to you? Did she kill your dog? She is a girl who is famous for nothing, and really hasn't contributed much positive or negative to society. Yet, many posters would make her the equivalent of Hitler.
Its a single.......2007-07-14
As far as the songs go, I like them, but lets face it, singles are about as dead as vinyl these days. This ones for colletors only or people who don't believe in downloading music.
I wish I could give it Zero.......2007-07-14
BTW:Billy took the pic of Paris himself...Retard!
Complete waste of time and $$$.......2007-07-13
After the commercial failures of Zwan & his Adore-like solo album, Mr. Corgan learned that marketing is mearly the name yyou put out, and with only 2 of the original four pumpkins (Jimmy Chamberlain worked on Zwan & guest spotted on the Solo album...disqualifying this Pumpkins "reunion")
this is just an attempt to cash in on a new generation of fans, whilst keeping Warner Bros. happy.
As for the single....completely avoid....the only good song on Zeitgeist is the 10 minute epic United States...which sounds like it would have fit on MCIS-Adore or even Machina

Muy caliente.......2007-04-20
I am surprised that Larriva hasn't found more of a following in this country. Perhaps it is because his music is hard to categorize. It incorporates elements from classic rock, as well as "Tejano," but doesn't really conform to either. Until the rest of the country catches on, and Tito & Tarantula becomes a household name, they will just have to be our little secret.

In 30 years of recording with the Soft Boys and solo-wise, Robyn Hitchcock's enduring brand of madcap mayhem has raced between English punk, acoustic folk and sonically lush pop. But by teaming with Seattle pals Pete Buck (REM) and Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5), Hitchcock has made a return to garage rock not heard since 1989's Queen Elvis. More than capable musicians, Buck and McCaughey are long-time fans of the legendary British songwriter-whose droll lyrics and quirky melodies recall the late Syd Barrettand they grasp the assignment with aplomb. Buck's indelible guitar instills a chiming luster to songs like "Underground Sun" and "Red Locust Frenzy," while McCaughey provides a random, finger-snapping piano to the delightful "Belltown Ramble," which finds Hitchcock serving as the clever hobnobbing tour guide of his favorite Emerald City neighborhood. As usual, a sharp cockney twang is Hitchcock's best instrument, carving up the scatty title song as aptly as his ode to San Francisco "(A Man's Gotta Know His Limitations) Briggs" or his salute to "NY Doll," late bassist Arthur Kane. --Scott HolterCustomer Reviews:
Here Is Another Robyn Hitchcock Record.......2007-03-25
As a longtime fan (I first saw Robyn perform when I was in college in 1985) I think it's great that Robyn has steadily recorded and released new material for all this time. It's just a bit frustrating to consider his output since about 1990--the intermittent moments of brilliance on his records of the last fifteen years indicate that he's capable of creating another "Underwater Moonlight" if he'd just not settle for putting out product and focus a little harder on the songwriting.
Best Hitchcock in Years.......2007-02-22
Great record.......2007-02-16
Surprisingly Weak Offering.......2007-01-25
Gone are the superb production values that rivaled the best output of Geoff Emerrick. Gone are the unique rhythms and changing tempos that made Hitchcock's music unpredictable. Gone are the forward vocals that made it seem as though Hitchcock himself would emerge from your radio. What we have is instead is a phantom, someone poorly masquerading as the heir of Barrett.
I hate to write negative reviews, but I found this to be a tired, flaccid recording... disheartening, really, especially in light of such masterpieces as Fegmania!, Element of Light, and Black Snake Diamond Roll.
Where should I start? Perhaps Hitchcock's artistic edge is blunted by the overuse of acoustic accompaniment, but then, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Hitchcock's signature writing style, one of surreal images and unique wordplay, has almost become cliche to even the casual listener. Put a fish or frog in the title, throw in some mathematical abstractions, and Bob's your uncle. Is it really so hard for Hitchcock to step out from behind his metaphors? Come on, Robyn, even your hero Dylan could write a straightforward love song once in a while.
That said, the most glaring and depressing aspect of this cd remains the fact that Hitchcock belts out these songs with a sloth-like enthusiasm that leaves one wondering if his passion for singing is gone.
Nice Surprise!.......2007-01-17

Customer Reviews:
Very nice introduction to the work of a great soprano.......2007-07-13
Some cuts exemplify her art:
"Un bel di" is a ravishing version of this well known aria. She demonstrates a rich voice with fine musicality. This is a ravishing version of this aria. The singer displays good vocal control. There are nice transitions across the registers.
"Si, mi chiamano Mimi" is another well known work for sopranos. Again, nicely done. She appears (to me anyhow) to catch the spirit of Mimi very nicely indeed.
From "La Traviata," she essays "E strano. . .Sempre Libera." This is an affecting version. She does not have the coloratura armamentarium that some have brought to bear on this aria, but she does a fine job nonetheless. She seems to capture the desperate spirit of Violetta in "Sempre Libera."
Rossini's "Una voce poco fa" is a nice tour de force for sopranos. De los Angeles does a nice job here. This is a work from the Bel canto repertoire, but she does well. She shows vocal agility and captures the spirit of the work. This is an affecting, charming version. There is some occasional vocal harshness, but not a serious issue.
From "Carmen," "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle." Richly and nicely sung.
Her range on this CD is worth noting: from Puccini and Verdi to Wagner to Rossini to Gounod.
And then another of her specialties--songs. She does a nice turn with the Spanish song "Malaguena." Then, in a nice twist, she accompanies herself on guitar in "Adios Granada." I'm not normally so excited about songs, but in this case I found her work enchanting.
So, if you want to get a sense of the artistry of Victoria de los Angeles, this is an excellent starting point. Highly recommended!
The very best performance by Victoria de los Angeles.......2006-09-13
In Memoriam: A Tribute To The Late Victoria.......2005-02-01
Her voice was essentially full lyric with some spinto. Hearing her renditions of "O Mio Babbini Caro"- a signature soprano role, as well as "Ebben Ne Andro Lontana" from La Wally and her performances as Mimi, one is clearly treated to the truest form of a pure lyric soprano. Her voice is spunned gold, with sweet, warm, feminine textures. Her reperotire remained in the Italian and French. Of course, being Spanish, she was a leading singer in Spanish Lieder and romantic ballads. Her Art Songs in Spanish are full of elegance and grace. A champion of obscure composers, she sang and recorded recitals that featured the works of lesser known composers, though strictly Lieder and Folk/Art Song.
Victoria De Los Angeles is fortunately a well-documented artist. Some film footage exist of her performances. I seem to recall that there exists a taped performance of her Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata. She excelled in the lyric roles of Mimi in Puccini's La Boheme, Marguerite in Gounod's Faust. Her Madame Butterfly is a pure lyric rendition, with less of the dramatic intensity other singers have given the role- i.e. Leontine Price, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, etc. But her Butterfly is actually the way the role ought to be sung. It's a voice of grace, naivete and above all romance that must colorize Butterfly. The dramatic intensity only makes her sound older and madly passionate. She is only a fifteen year old girl who has been deceived and betrayed. She must remain youthful sounding. De Los Angeles does justice to the truest form of Butterfly. She was thrilling in French and Italian operas and her Spanish songs were briliant and beautiful.
Victoria will always be remembered. She was a unique and talented artist of the lyric repertoire. Her pure, lovely voice was like an angel's. There will never be another Victoria De Los Angeles. With her death, the end of an era also passes. In particular, I will always remember one reported incident. She was about to make her first recital in America but she had no accompanist- pianist/guitarist etc. When asked how she would handle this, she remarked: "Well I brought my guitar with me". And she proceeded to accompany herself with the guitar.

Solid Album worth your interest.......2006-09-03
Perhaps Tito & Tarantula's best album yet.......2005-12-01
Missed Your Eyes--This song has a nice guitar-bass tune that it goes to and a cool chorus, with several members of the band singing. It's a pretty good song overall, especially after te pause halfway through the song. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, Stevie Medina-Hufstefer, and Io Perry.
It's My Mistake--Definately the best song on the album!! Great rock music with especially cool guitar by Peter Atanasoff and some great background vocals by Io Perry. When I want to listen to this album, this is the top priority song to listen to. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, Stevie Medina-Hufstefer, and Io Perry.
California Girl--This is a fairly good song but it can get old after a while. But it still has a nice chorus. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Stevie Medina-Hufstefer, and Io Perry.
You're the One I Love--I don't like this song that much. Though the guitar and bass are well played, the tune doesn't do much for me. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
Torn To Pieces--I really like this song. It has a great dancing beat and tune, and is great to sing along to. One of the album's best. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, Stevie Medina-Hufstefer, Io Perry, and Marcus Praeo.
Hey Hey Hey, Whaddya Say--Another great song with a really good dancing beat and tune. I especially like how it switches off singers in the chorus. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, Stevie Medina-Hufstefer, Io Perry, and Marcus Praeo.
Bullets From A Gun--This song starts out with decieving loud music, but slows down into soft rock. It's not a bad song, I just don't care for it much. However, it does have a very nice chorus and emotional singing. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
Make Me--This song features mainly acoustic guitar by Stevie Medina-Hufstefer until a brief piano solo by Marcus Praeo, after which it sports electric guitar by Peter Atanasoff, bass by Io Perry, and drums by Johnny Hernandez. It's not one of my favorite songs on the album, but some parts of the chorus are pretty good and the second half is good. Also has some nice backup singing by Io Perry. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva and Io Perry.
My Power Is In Your Hands--This is a very good song with roots that can be traced back to the band's song on TARANTISM, Slippin' and Slidin'. It has a really good rock beat with great guitar playing. One of my favorite songs on the album. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva and Peter Atanasoff.
Ready Made--This song didn't do much for me at first, but now that I listen to it I realize it has some really good guitar playing, especially at the beginning of the second stanza. The singing is also pretty good. It works well with the music. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, Stevie Medina-Hufstefer, and Io Perry.
Effortless--This is another one of my favorite songs. It's a great rock song with a really good chorus along with the lyrics. The rock guitar is also very impressive. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
In Between--My last favorite song on the album, thought it isn't at the very top of my favorites list. It takes a while to get to the chorus, but once it's up to it, the song really picks up. Good rythem guitar by Tito Larriva. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, and Io Perry.
Mexican Sky--I'm not overly fond of this song, as it is soft rock song that is just too soft for my taste. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva and Io Perry.
La Flor De Mal--This is a slow, tormented remake of the Cruzados (Stevie Medina-Hufstefer's father's and Tito's old band from the 80s) song from 1985, La Flor De Mal. The original is much better. This version is slow with the singing almost completely muffled out. The song doesn't show the least bit of liveliness. But the lead and rythem guitar are okay. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
This album is well worth the money you'll pay for it. It's not easy to find in stores so I suggest you order it off amazon as soon as possible.

Tito & Tarantula never lost their touch.......2005-11-30
Bleeding Roses--This is a very good song, but after you listen to it too much you may find it stuck in your head for the rest of the day. But it is a very good song, especially the chorus. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, and Johnny Hernandez.
When You Cry--I haven't listened to this song very much, but it still is good. It is another soft rock song, but it still is Tito & Tarantula quality material. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
Love In My Blood--One of my favorite songs on the album. The first rock song so far with some excellent lead and rythem guitar. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva and Peter Atanasoff.
Slow Dream--This song switches off and on between rock and soft rock in the lyrics and the chorus. It is fairly good. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
Hungry Sally--This song starts with soft, acoustic guitar and steady singing but progresses to heavy rock and blasting vocals within 6 minutes. It gets pretty good towards the end. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, Jennifer Condos, Petra Haden, and Johnny Hernandez.
My German Fraulein--My favorite song on the whole album. Features some amazing rock guitar, great tunes, and fabulous singing. Definately the album's best song. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, and Johnny Hernandez.
Betcha Can't Play--This short song is fun to listen to but barely has any lyrics. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
Clumsy Beautiful World--Another one of the best songs on the album, though not THE best. It has a good tune, and the singing blends well with it. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva and Peter Atanasoff.
The Devil's In Love--This song is somewhat strange when it comes to lyrics but is good nonetheless. The bass during the chorus is notably good. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva and Peter Atanasoff.
Slow Dream--The only song on the album that I don't like. There is barely any sound throughout this ten-minute song. It has some of the quietist guitar ever played and some of the softest singing ever sung. I'm not even sure if there's any drums at all. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva.
Pieces of Time All In A Line--Another very good song, with some more very odd lyrics. It features guitar playing, bass playing, drum playing, violin playing, and singing; all put to a well-written tune. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, and Johnny Hernandez.
Crucified--This is the hidden-trap song on Pieces of Time All In A Line that is featured in a film co-starring Tito himself. It has some very talented guitar playing from Peter Atanasoff and the usual great singing from Tito Larriva. This song features some of the highest tenor-guitar playing I have ever heard. Featuring vocals by Tito Larriva, Peter Atanasoff, and Johnny Hernandez.
This is one album definately worth buying, as are all of Tito & Tarantula's albums. Help make them popular in the U.S.A, by purchasing this album and becoming a fan now!
These guys rock!.......2005-05-03
P.S.
I have tried with poor success to get my friends into this band, but I stand by my taste.
Exelent album for those smooth rockers.......2002-03-15
AND NOW THIS..........2000-12-30
The L.A. Times says: "...Larriva could easily assume the title Time magazine once hung on David Byrne, "Renaissance Man"
and the Houston Press says: "...one of the most criminally overlooked, possibly the meanest rock outfit on the planet. In live performance, Tito & Tarantula are truly deadly."
Hot, Hot Sally! Ay, mamacita!.......2000-01-23
