Part of Boston's vibrant (and crowded) singer-songwriter scene, Kris Delmhorst stands out thanks to a gorgeous, tender, evocative voice and a textured and varied musical palette. She opens with a funked-up reworking of "Cluck Old Hen," complete with Beck-like banjo, followed by the bittersweet "Damn Love Song," where only acoustic guitar, cello, and accordion color in the lines behind her. "Broken White Line" is graced with delicate strains of pedal steel and mandolin, while the ominous, languid "Just What I Meant," a highlight here, crawls along with occasional bursts of cello and baritone sax. And her wounded voice on the haunting chorus of "Gave It Away" sends shivers. While Delmhorst is at her most appealing when the musical settings are ambitious, her lyrics seem to benefit from a more restrained approach. Thus, songs like "Words Fail You" and "Yellow Brick Road"--with basic musical tracks and too-clever words--fall comparatively flat. But for the most part, this is a powerful sophomore effort, one where elements of traditional roots-based folk successfully mingle with modern singer-songwriter flourishes. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars Honk - After all these years it still ranks among the best.......2007-03-10

I can't remember who turned me on to Honk. I'm sure it was at High School in Carpinteria, down by Rincon where many of my buddies would go surfing whenever escaping was possible.

Five Summer Stories remains great enjoyable mostly instrumental with a good beat and enjoyable melodies. "Bear Country" is one of my favorites. For great GS turns on the snow, on my horse in the country, or just cruisin down the road. But in reality, hard to pick one out of a bunch.

I was glad to find the CD after years of thinking about the album, not knowing where my old record has gone.

Check it out!

5 out of 5 stars great cd.......2006-11-20

i love honk. they are my favorite band ever. and my favorite movie is five summer stories.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet..........2006-03-25

I remember when Honk used to play the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach back in the good old days. And they were good days, dude. We used to surf the south side of the pier all night, life was laid back and sweet, SoCal (Orange County in particular) wasn't yet a swarming freakshow, and there really were surf bands -- and surf movies. "Endless Summer" is considered by many to be the granddaddy of them all -- and that may be true -- but for me, "Five Summer Stories" captures that wonderful, beautiful shimmering moment in Southern California history that has sadly been lost forever. Lost? Make that paved, choked, and crowded out. The best we can do now is let the music take us back, and Honk does this. Get this CD and feel young again -- if you were there the first time. You gremmies have no choice but to just listen and dream of what you missed by being born too late.

3 out of 5 stars Good but you'll love this one.......2001-08-21

Honk is a fairly good album and would certainly appeal to those with inclinations towards the surf sounds/vibes from the early 70s. I won't add anymore to what has been said already but I will say if you like this sort of stuff, genre, vibe etc you MUST check out the Morning Of The Earth soundtrack - an Australian surf movie from the early 70s. It is the essential album (and if you can get the video even better - a FANTASTIC movie with incredible tubular footage and psychedelic camera work) combining a love of surfing, hippy sentiments, mind expansion and feelings of freedom. It literally chnaged my life causing me to hit the road up the east Australian coast. Enough said - Honk is good but nice and tame, this is beautiful...

5 out of 5 stars HONK ON CD!!!!!!!!.......2000-08-12

For those of you who haven't had the privelage of toting around this Honk record album (you know, vinyl?) for the past 25 years, you are very lucky to have the opportunity to purchase it in CD. I grew up on Maui and was a "surfer gal", playing my Honk album after long days at the beach, re-visualizing the beauty of the waves, sun and sand while listening to the articulate instrumentals and vocals on this album. In this day of the regeneration of historical american folk tunes, I truly believe Honk-Five Summer Stories deserves a place in our musical history for the melodic songs, and calming instumentals which represent a brief, yet heartfelt era. Anyone who enjoys music as a "getaway", this one will take you where you want to go....

3 out of 5 stars As usual, there's always a downside........2005-12-07

If you like adventurous music then this is an excellent pick, 75 minutes of interesting sound effects and rhythms. But, as is often the case, there are no liner notes which, especially when listening to composers with whom one is unfamiliar, cheapens the offering. Borrow it from a library or buy it second hand. Maybe Kronos will eventually get the message.

5 out of 5 stars impressive.......2003-12-10

but it also impresses me how new music could possibly survive without fabulous recording and explosive effects.

5 out of 5 stars perhaps the furthest out of Kronos' recordings.......2001-04-26

SHORT STORIES is an outstanding collection of new music. "Digital" by Elliot Sharp is all percussion, presumably produced with violin, viola and cello. "Spoonful," the great Willie Dixon song, is arranged for strings much like "Purple Haze" before it. "Spectre," by John Oswald, probably best known for his electronic manipulations of the Grateful Dead, is a piece that starts out inaudibly, and then all of a sudden gathers into what sounds like a UFO taking off! Cowell's "Quartet Euphometric" is a short, lovely piece, the most conventional on the album.

And that leaves the 5 longer pieces, each one masterful in its own right, and adding to an amazing overall effect: 1) John Zorn's "Cat O' Nine Tails," in which he applies his quick change methodology to the string quartet to hilarious effect, 2) Steven Mackey's "Physical Property" for electric guitar and quartet, with stunning rhythms and textures, 3) Scott Johnson's "Soliloquy" featuring a tape of I.F. Stone, the radical journalist, who questions the persistence of barbarism and tribalism, and asks, "...is it necessary to repeat after 2,000 years all the things you people learned in Sunday school?! How -- how absent-minded -- how forgetful!", 4) Sofia Gubaidulina's "Quartet No. 2", which is sinuous and splendid -- Kronos have done their part to put her before the public -- and 5) Pandit Pran Nath's "Aba Kee Tayk Hamaree," with the voice of the North Indian master, and his disciple Terry Riley on tamboura, a reverent way to close, and the first chance for myself and many others, I'm sure, to hear him.

Of the Kronos releases I've heard, SHORT STORIES is the furthest out, with the least reference to the early 20th century, and the greatest risk-taking vis a vis the classical music establishment. It works! Fantastic!

5 out of 5 stars Short stories greater than life.......2001-01-24

This is one absolutely brilliant collection of compositions, from the beginning to the end of this CD, offering 75 minutes of music. It starts with a vivid and pulsating Digital, continues with Willie Dixon's Spoonful, transformed here into some sort of avant-garde blues (!?) performed with an intensity of Jimi Hendrix. Cat O' Nine Tails, appropriately subtitled as "Tex Avery Directs the Marquis de Sade", is a graphic performance, and with its humor, witty references and brief genre zip-zapping throughout the piece it's characteristic for John Zorn. Steven Mackey plays electric guitar with the Kronos Quartet in his own energetic and exiting piece, Physical Property.

Scott Johnson's 13 minutes long Soliloquy makes me think that I have an advantage in not being a native English speaker because the sense of music of the foreign language always remains (at least to me it does). The inherent music in one's own mother tongue with all its melody, rhythm and texture usually goes unnoticed. By using the short edited parts, or "loops", of I.F. Stone's lecture I feel Kronos does exactly that: brings out the music of the English language and accentuates it with their own instrumental backing. It's a functional and artistically justified method, I feel, justified by the beauty of the composition and the text itself.

One of the highlights of the CD is certainly Sofia Gubaidulina's Quartet No. 2. It brings a sense of eeriness and menace, maintaining the suspense, not unlike some of impressive and disturbing compositions of Krzysztof Penderecki. It would certainly quality as "musica non grata" to the totalitarian Soviet regime of the former USSR, Gubaidulina's country of birth.

John Oswald's Spectre is an experience for itself. It is, simply, one of the most amazing, intense and breathtaking compositions I have ever heard. Like Cat O'Nine Tails, Physical Property and Soliloquy, it was written for Kronos Quartet. It was meticulously recorded in numerous but seamless layers of overdubs and in that sense it was really written for a huge string orchestra of, say, thousand string instruments all of which played by Kronos. It starts with sounds of the quartet's tuning-in out of which one single note is sustained. It sounds fragile and shallow at first but soon after subtly gains strength and depth. As its timbre becomes richer and richer, one gradually becomes aware of numerous other tones that co-exist with the first one, thousands of them, almost the same, but not quite. They start to interact, bumping into each other. And then... the pitch gets slightly higher, the sound constantly gains power in a mighty spiral, a tornado of sound that sucks you in and throws you out. Like a soul leaving the body, as in some Castaneda's novel. This is how I imagine shooting heroine must be like, as sometimes depicted in movies, where a little bit of blood is let into the syringe and then the mixture injected back. Musical Eros & Thanatos... One could say Spectre might be a musical metaphor for life itself, from birth to death with a promise of infinity or immortality.

It's the music like this, fresh and adventurous, that brings all deserved praise to the Kronos Quartet. Short stories? No. More like synopses for epic novels, greater than life.

3 out of 5 stars very inconsistent.......2000-12-10

Like other Kronos releases, the music on one track will be fantastic, and on the next will be awful. I love Elliott Sharp's "Digital" (how he did that with a string quartet is beyond me), Henry Cowell's "Quartet Euphometric" and Stephen Mackey's "Physical Property." The Johnson, though, is tedious, and the Zorn piece is fantastically irritating and goes nowhere, and the Pandit Pran Nath is extremely boring. Oh well. Buy it if you can get it cheap.

5 out of 5 stars Writing beauty.......2005-08-13

This cd has some of my favorite songs from Kris. All of the songs that made me a fan, in fact.

The writing here is eloquent and poetic. Her themes of love are carefully wrapped inside metaphors that will leave you speechless. I am so amazed at the expression these songs offer. There is an honesty here that will speak directly to your heart. Kris is a master at weaving words.

My favs from this disc: 'Damn Love Song', 'Words Fail You', 'Yellow Brick Road','Broken White Line' and 'Lullaby 101'.

If you are a fan of singer-songwriters then you will love this album.

5 out of 5 stars Always in my cd player.......2003-12-27

I have owned this album for 2 years and it has never left my CD player. Now, Songs for a Hurricane joins it there. Kris Delmhorst is incredible.

5 out of 5 stars I can't stop playing this beauitful CD!.......2003-07-18

Kris Delmhorst stands out from within the "Girls with Guitars" genre as a unique, multi-faceted, wonderful singer and songwriter. Her lyrics are strong and dynamic paired with a natural and lovely voice. That girl plays a ton of instruments and showcases those talents well on songs like "Mean Old Wind." My favorite is "Broken White Line" with its classic-sounding folk-rock nature, well elevated by original story-telling lyrics. Appetite and the older EPs are great; but for a full-fledged, enjoyable album, FIVE STORIES is the way to go. You'll be satisfied from start to finish, and then, like me, you'll press play again and start the whole experience over for another round!

5 out of 5 stars A remarkable folk album from a budding star.......2003-07-16

My husband and I discovered Kris Delmhorst when she opened a Dar Williams show in Alexandria, Va. With her warm voice, catchy tunes and accessible lyrics, it was musical love at first site. I've since bought all her albums and am DYING for the next one to come out. My favorites on this one _ so far her best _ are "Broken White Line," and "Yellow Brick Road." She is right up there with Dar as one of my favorite artists.

5 out of 5 stars Stellar project.......2002-11-01

It's impossible to go wrong buying this CD if you have any interest in singer-songwriters. I think the other reviews here already sum it up nicely, but it should be mentioned that many of the musicians on this album have been seen around Boston in their own successful projects. This includes Catie Curtis and Sean Staples of the Resophonics among many others. This album is well-played and given a sensitive treatment by capable hands. Add Kris's stellar voice and songwriting on top and you've got a great album that's difficult to remove from rotation. Buy without hesitation.

yes this is only an ep but when you can full they're energy just by hearing them you know something's specail. and by saying thursday is something specail is to not give them enough credit. anyways this ep is awsome. jetblack new year is an incredible song and more amazing live. just for that track alone it worth getting it along with anything else of thier's.

5 out of 5 stars For those who have no idea.............2006-07-08

First of all lets get this straight. Five stories falling is an EP! NOT an ALBUM. Incase some of you who have commented didnt know, 2005 is far removed from 2002. The year in which this EP was released. Full Collapse was Thursdays LP( complete album ). Full Collapse was probably made in 99 or 00 and obviously put out in 01. When four years pass its easy to see how other bands can get a hold of such an original sound, twist it, and completely overexpose it causing the sound to become "exhausted". The only song on this EP that isnt on Full Collapse is Jet Black New Year. I havent heard the song from a media source but have heard it live and it rocks! So does the whole album Full Collapse! One of the best albums ever!

5 out of 5 stars This EP is worth it.......2006-06-20

First of all, to C.Kelso below who says he cannot find anything "unique" or "interesting" about Thursday... Obviously you have not listened to Thursday from the beginning. Many bands have since copied them and do not even list them as an influence. So of course lots of bands *now* sound like Thursday. With that said, I feel this EP is worth buying simmply for the song Jet Black New Year. Personally, it is one of my favorite Thursday songs. The personal stories on the insert also make it worthwhile.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome album........2005-12-31

Thursday is by far my favorite band of all time. Their lyrics are meaningful and emotional. They capture the events in everyday life perfectly. The music is even better. Geoff has an amazing voice, and his vocals are always perfect for the song. The music behind the vocals, the guitars, bass, drums and keyboard is all excellent and goes in perfect harmony with the vocals. The band is amazing on every point.

Prior to buying this album, I owned War All the Time, Full Collapse, and Waiting. Full Collapse is definitely the best Thursday album, but every one of them blew me away. When I heard that the band had another album out, I rushed out to buy it immediately. When I saw that it was only five songs, four of which were on the other albums, I was a bit disappointed. I wasn't when I listened to it. Some bands sound terrible live. Thursday sounds almost exactly like they do on their albums, except, as far as I am concerned, better. The music has more feeling live, and the live version of Understanding in a Car Crash was mind-blowing.

The new song, Jet Black New Year, was not the typical Thursday song. It was harder and darker than most, as were the lyrics. That, however, is far from a problem. The song was awesome. The countdown at the end, "Ten seconds left until midnight, nine chances to drown ourselves in black hair dye, eight faces turned away from the shock, seven windows and six of them were locked, five stories falling, forever and ever, three cheers to the mirror, now there are two of us, can we have one last dance?" is my favorite part. It is hugely dramatic and it inspires me every time I hear it.

I do wish the album would have had some new songs or a few more live ones. There were only five songs on it, and even though they were all great that isn't exactly a full CD, hence the rating of four. Still, I highly enjoyed this CD and recommend it to any Thursday fan.

P.S. Some Thursday reviews I have read greatly disturb me. People say that Thursday "sucks" because it is emo, which is stereotypically bands whining about problems in life. This is not true. First of all, Thursday is not Emo. Thursday is post-hardcore. Second, Emo is far from just a bunch of crappy bands whining about their problems in life. Saying bands like Simple Plan are Emo disgraces the genre. Emo is it's own genre. Very few people know what Emo actually is, because they go by the ignorant stereotype.

Just because a band has meaningful lyrics does not mean that they are not good. Some of us like to have some emotion in our music, rather than just empty lyrics that sound good. I like all kinds of music, including some of the "empty lyrics that sound good", but sometimes I need a little bit more. Thursday gives me that.

1 out of 5 stars What band is this again?.......2005-11-23

I listened to this album, from beginning to end, with an open mind. I couldnt find much that was interesting or unique in these songs. It's all too identical to the emo/indie tunes of today. Everything from the guitar riffs, drum beat style, to the vocal melodies sound all too familiar (including the haircuts)

Somebody help me find what im missing here, somebody point out and specify what is really interesting, original and good in this album, because to me this sound is exhausted.

    Five wonderful stories by Ambrose Bierce, full of vivid characters, surprises and suspense.

    Staley Fleming's Hallucination-the ghost of a Newfoundland dog with a white forefoot-hungry for revenge.

    The Damned Thing-A wild, ferocious animal determined to drive a man off his land-or drive him insane, once he realizes the truth.

    An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge-A life, flashing before the eyes, and a miraculous escape from certain death, suddenly becomes-something else entirely. Bierce's strangest and most famous fantasy.

    Diagnosis of Death-A doctor whose incredibly accurate diagnoses are not at all conducive to a long and healthy life.

    The Boarded Window-A window forever boarded up; a love forever gone.

    Written more than a century ago, these are stories that still capture the imagination with vivid, precise language that bites-and may even draw blood!

    This Freshwater Seas production presents these five classic stories performed by Susie Berneis and Robert Bethune, with subtle musical underscoring to enhance and enrich Bierce's words.

      Album Description

      Respect for the elders is what I learned from my parents and grandparents as a child. I believe respect for others and respect for self begins with the choices we make in how we meet, greet, and talk to each other. I hope these songs and stories will remind us that we all want respect and how important it is to give it.

      "There is wisdom in the old tales, and in the tales of the old,that hold truths that we need to know today"

      4 out of 5 stars New American Classicism.......2004-01-17

      Michael Dellaria's compositions influenced by the minimalist composers and the neo-romantics, but with a stronger connection to American pop and folk music.

      The three-part "USA Stories" is the strongest work on the album: sexy, compelling, and moving, these three pieces evoke the excitement and danger of the increasingly fast-paced America of the early 20th Century.

      Dellaria's music should appeal to anyone who is interested in contemporary vocal music, as well as pop and folk fans who want to try out some of that new fangled art music.

      5 out of 5 stars Five Stars for Five Star Story.......2000-10-18

      I was late into seeing five star stories, never got a chance to see it when it debuted in the late 80's, but I did however, get a chance to catch up on the title in the early 90's. I must admit that the soundtrack is exceptional. The music is a bit retro however these days, but, it truly speaks for anime music, its got its own style. Not recommended to those that haven't seen the movie yet! A great addition to your collection!^___^
