album of considerable class, not bedevilled by the conservatism that can occasionally hamstring such affairs. The sultry and sophisticated vocal duo reached the apex of their prominence in the late 90s, when fellow Philadelphia natives The Roots began to feature them on their rustic rap albums. Despite some high profile work early in their career--they provided backing vocals on a Stevie Wonder album as long ago as 1995--Mercedes Martinez and Tracey Moore remain among new school soul's best kept secrets."Something in the Way", the inviting opener, benefits from a lush, homely production reminiscent of prime 70s Hi Records territory (think Ann Peebles with a 21st century sheen). "Compelled" strikes out in a rocky direction before reinventing itself, mid-song, as a disco floor-shaker, "El Medio" brings a slice of Mediterranean romance and, for just a couple of seconds, "Show Your Face" threatens to turn into, of all things, "Sweet Home Alabama". At 10 songs, this album is refreshingly focused, and deserves to bring Martinez and Moore to the audience their talent merits. --Angus Batey

Advantages: Cute pets, not as hard to look after as made out to be!! Disadvantages: Becareful around other pets!
Hey,
i have two tortoises,
but there only small and because of there species won't get much bigger!
Tortoises are made out to be really hard to look after but there really not!!
If you have a dog it's not a really good idea to have tortoises unless you know your dog is unable to get near them!
Tortoises are really cute!!
Even though tortoises are made out to only eat lettuce there really not allowed it (well not much a little shouldn't hurt)
but they do eat other salads!!
If you give your tortoise carrot make sure it's grated because there not allowed chunks of it!!!
Becareful what differant sexes you put together because they may fight!!
Hope this info has helped!!!
Have fun looking after your tortoises!! ...
Standards is Tortoise's 6th album.
It was released in 2000-2001, under Warp Records (instead of the usual Thrill Jockey label). In my opinion, Standards manages to converge their 1994 album Tortoise, Rhythms Resolutions and Clusters (1995), Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996), TNT (1998) and their In The Fishtank Ep (1999) into a perfect whole, and thus producing one of their best releases.
In other words, Standards is the perfect Tortoise album.
Tortoise's style seems to fit somewhere in between post-rock, the industrial scene, jazz, electronica and dub. But there again, like most avant-guard music, the outcome of all these influences converge into a whole new style.
I have always considered Standards, along with all other Tortoise albums, as being heavily jazz orientated.
Standards has a running time of 44 minutes approx ...
Advantages: Great people ,great food. Disadvantages: Restricted range of dates.
I’ve recently come back from a year travelling and one of the highlights of my trip was the two week trip I took from San Francisco to New York on the Green Tortoise.
The company was formed in the 1960s when there were lots of little illegal hippy companies offering trips round the US. The Green Tortoise went legal and now has a network of buses doing trips in the US and Central America. Trips range from an overnight stay in Yosemite National Park to 15 days in Costa Rica and Panama. The company is a bit of a folk legend in the US - everywhere you stop, people come to say hello and tell you tales about their trips on the bus 30 years ago.
If you’re looking to get off the tourist trail and don’t mind making your own dinner, then the Green Tortoise is a great way to travel.
The buses are all old Greyhound coaches about ...
