Josh Ritter “The Animal Years” (V2) 3.5 Stars For better or for worse, Josh Ritter’s “The Animal Years” could just as easily have been released in the 1970s, if not earlier. He’s an adept, though plain, troubadour, who here treads the well-worn path of mostly-acoustic folk, fusing the singer/songwriter vibe with bluegrass and country-western.

After passing V1, pilots are trained how to continue the takeoff--even if an engine fails or a tire blows. Somewhere between V1 and V2, things went wrong for Flight...
Multi-instrumentalist Moby, whose new album Play (V2) is heavily sample-based, is skeptical about the idea that deejays will ever be regarded as true artists. "I think being a deejay is a creative act, but I have a hard time seeing it as a musical act," says Moby, who worked as a deejay for about eight years and recently deejayed at the MTV Video Music Awards. "I see a good deejay as being a really amazing technician as opposed to a being a musician." Still, a good deejay can be a canny promoter. At the MTV awards, Moby says...
