After decades of shoe-gazing angst and angry young musicians raging against one thing or another, it's often hard to remember that the original punk/new wave explosion of the late '70s was fueled as much by innocent abandon as anger. How much affection New York indie power-poppers Too Much Joy have for the likes of the Dickies, Circle Jerks, or Rezillos is debatable, but their flail versus wail quotient remains promising. This live album (recorded in Washington, D.C. in '97, and handpicked by the band as a representative favorite) takes more than its cheeky design cue from the Who's mock-bootleg Live at Leeds; it's filled with boundless energy, careening musical inertia, and a self-mocking irony that's as snotty as it is endearing--and they don't treat "Happy Jack" too shabbily, either. And if the oft loony 'tude of songs like the commercial mockeries "You Will" or "King of Beers," and deep ruminations like "I Believe in Something" or "The Kids Don't Understand" lie somewhere mid-south of They Might Be Giants' and Barenaked Ladies' furrowed brows, perhaps it's because TMJ realize big brains only hurt worse when you treat your head this carelessly. And how can you not like a band whose finale is an uplifting take of its own "Theme Song"? --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Live album recorded 9/18/97 at The Bayou in Washington, DC.

horrible sound quality.......2004-01-16

i was a big fan of TMJ back in the day. still own the original "son of sam i am" and "cereal killers" cd's. but the sound quality on "live at least" is horrible. to equate, put in your favorite cd in your home stereo, turn up the volume to above average, and now put your hands over your ears. that's pretty much how this cd sounds... instruments are very muffled and flat, vocals do nothing but echo like they were performing in the grand canyon. this cd isn't worth $4.99, let alone $14.99. i wouldn't even recommend it to a hardcore TMJ fan.

Wow........2003-02-02

I never heard of Too Much Joy. My roommate gave me the CD after he bought it by accident (trying to buy Live At Leeds! Idiot.). Anyway, he did me a major solid. It's simply amazing. Now I want to know all about them. And I wish they were still playing live. This Cd is just more fun than just about anything else that lives in my car. On the other hand, don't waste your money on the Wonderlick CD that comes paired with it. But Too Much Joy rocks bigtime.

Joyful Chaos.......2002-04-01

While not as polished as their studio recordings, and not as polished as many other bands' live offerings, Too Much Joy's "Live At Least" captures the essence that made them great and woefully underrated. Amid the self-conscious stage patter, the missed cues and sometimes random sound mix, this recording offers some of the best of their insightful and playful lyrics, smart melodies and creative arrangements. Plus, it's about the only place left to get any versions at all of many of the songs, since the albums they originally appeared on have gone out of print.

If you have no Too Much Joy at all, buy "Finally," first. But once you've got that one, buy "Live At Least" to keep it company.

As rocking as I remember them.......2002-01-05

Finally a Too Much Joy CD that captures the band the way I remember seeing them live. I only saw them once when someone dragged me along to see another band they were playing with that we've both long since stopped caring about but I was totally blown away. It's hard to put into words what was so amazing, they just were. It went beyond the playing and the singing and even the stage antics. It was like being a part of something special and secret. Unfortunately secret. Once we "discovered' them I naturally went back and found the records. I liked ...Finally the best but they all had something great. But nothing like what I saw that day. Naturally I had to buy their video but honestly that was really dissapointing. Thanks to Live At Least I at least now know it wasn't all in my head. They were at least sometimes the best band ever. This can't hope to be as amazing as being there but it's damn close. Even if this is your only introduction to TMJ you won't be disappointed. The only down side is it has me longing again to see them come to my town soon.

Kicking yourself for never having seen them live??.......2001-12-20

As anyone who is a Too Much Joy fan will tell you, their live shows are something to see, and many times better (if that's possible) than what you get on any recorded medium. If you've seen their video, Dante's Disco Inferno (available at their sayhername website), and seen the live concert footage, then you know that this album is not to be missed. And if you haven't, then you must. Really. Would I lie? No. Not to you. Especially since the quality is crystal clear on this baby!

The essence of TMJ lies in the wit and intelligence of their lyrics, and the reflection in their music. This is heard in the banter between songs (well, maybe not intelligence), and presentation of their music. Especially when you get to hear covers and non-standards, such as Kicking, which I was delighted to find here.

So, if you somehow missed hearing TMJ live during their brilliant touring career, don't deny yourself the opportunity to catch one of the best shows I ever saw. The Bayou in Washington, DC (may it rest in peace) was a venue that highlighted TMJ at their finest. The size was perfect, the sound system pretty good, and the shows almost always sold to capacity. This show, as well as the show where the Secret Service showed up (due to an Ambassador's attendance), rank up there with the best ever. It was long, it was loud, and it was Too Much Joy.

I waited a long time to hear this show again in all it's unedited glory, and it was well worth it.

Album Description

I started arranging Beatles music for guitar many years ago. I can't remember exactly when nor can I remember the first song I arranged. Beginning in January of 2003 I began exploring more of the music written by Lennon and McCartney, perhaps because my son is now discovering just how timeless and infectious the music is. It seems each generation goes through a process of discovery with the music of the Beatles. So here is a collection of my favorite Beatles songs. They're all played on an acoustic guitar that has been tuned down quite a bit from a normal guitar. This is a solo guitar project; stark, raw and unfiltered.

We've heard it all before ... and it's a CDR not a CD ... with a paper label.......2006-08-04

This is a very pleasant album, but as a collector with hundreds of Beatles cover albums, I would say it brings nothing new to the genre except a clever title. And I was extremely disappointed to find out that it was a CDR not a CD, with a glued on paper label to boot. Who knows if it will even be playable in 10 years?! CDR sellers ought to at least warn potential buyers that it's not a pressed CD ... which is really what it was advertised as. And how expensive is it to print on CDRs directly these days anyway?

Technically Amazing but..........2005-06-12

OK, there's no question this guy can play the heck out of the guitar. And taking on a song like "Magical Mystery Tour" on solo guitar? That's ambitious. Latarski does some very nifty arranging work on "Norwegian Wood" and his versions of "Let It Be" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" are so full you'll hardly notice the lack of vocals. But doesn't every jazz guitarist play "Blackbird" just to show off? One star off for that and the obligatory cover of "Yesterday" - a song we've all heard just too many versions of already.

Marvelous guitar work on Beatles Faves.......2005-02-21

My first review of an album, this is just plain awesome. The selections are great and hearing them on an acoustic guitar is wonderful. Every song on the CD is really good. I would highly reccomend it to any Beatles fan (who isn't?) or anyone interested in artful acoustic guitar pieces. The tuned down guitar is an exceptional fit to these songs.

Champagne Music!.......2006-07-09

Thank goodness that these well filled CDs of selections from three of Offenbach's most entertaining and tuneful operettas are available. Exactly the thing to provide some hearty nourishment for Winter nights. Ideal also for a Summer barbecue. In both cases, a glass of champagne, or at least some other bubbly beverage, would be good to have at hand - everything here no doubt will call for a toast or several.

It is so nice to be able to hear in these translations the witty words, sung with welcome clarity and meaning by these admirable artists. As I recall, there were no microphones in sight, and perhaps not even used, when this production of Orpheus In The Underworld was brought to Australia, with a few cast changes but the same sparkle as shown here. Crisp diction and lively, often lovely, singing - a great recipe for enjoyable listening indeed.

The recording sounds a bit shrill here and there, but what a churlish quibble; to Hades with such curmudgeonly qualifications! This is music to raise the spirits, and not just those from Hades.

Fine recital of neglected composer.......2000-10-29

I'd agree with the earlier reviewer that this CD is for those who have already tried Dowland. However Dowland has been fortunate in the recording studio and Campion much neglected (this appears to be the only disc dedicated to him currently available) so Naxos deserve our thanks for having brought Rickards and Linell back together for a second disc. What is particularly encouraging is to find a whole disc of songs, not just a few raisins in a cake of viol music which is how Dowland and his contemporaries are normally represented. Not that I've anything against mixed recitals - the collaborations of Fretwork with Red Byrd are beautiful - but it tends to be the same better known songs.

The first recordings of early English music on the Naxos label (I'm thinking of Summerly's earlier recordings of Byrd, Tomkins, Gibbons) lacked texts, that has been corrected in later releases, including both this disc (timing 52:52), and the earlier Rickards Dowland recital (8.553381, 1997, timing 74:08). Sound on both discs is more than adequate.

Good Performance but the content?.......2000-02-01

I make no claims to being knowledable about the intricacies of this music. But if I were giving stars I'd give the performance four or five and the content...um...that's the hard part.

I bought this out of curiosity. Campion's lyrics turn up occasionally in anthologies of poetry and I was curious to hear the songs. I own Rickards and Linell's "Dowland: Flow my tears and other lute songs" and i play it often so I also wanted to know what Dowland's competition sounded like.

Firstly, the performance is of the same high standard as on the other disk. Which is good. Linell plays well and Rickards' voice is fine. The liner notes provide good background information as well as the words to the songs. The only real complaint I could have about the performance is probably related to production: The lute sounds small, thin and distant compared with, say, Bream's lute on "The golden age of English Lute music" or Lindberg's on "The complete solo lute music". This is true of the pair's Dowland recording as well but it may only be a drawback if you're trying to use the performances as a guide to playing the songs yourself. ( I was).

The real drawback to this recording though is the material. Play the Dowland and you're liable to find yourself humming odd snatches of the songs. Play the Campion and you're liable to have difficulty remembering any of the individual tunes. Nor do the lyrics redeem the music. He probably was a "better " lyric writer than Dowland (whatever that means) but music wise Dowland beats him hollow.

If you're studying music history this might be an interesting collection. But if you're just curious and want an introduction to the songs of the period, go for the Dowland first. You're liable to be left feeling like you could listen to more, and then the Campion becomes interesting as a variation. Buy the Campion first and you're liable to wonder why people get enthusiastic about English lute songs. And that would be a pity and a disservice to Linell and Rickards who do such a good job.
