...Billy Joel River of Dreams (Columbia). The Piano Man time-travels through a song cycle that begins on the emotional edge and ends baptized in hope. Totally '90s in its preoccupation with angst and property values, River also revives a pop era when hooks were called melodies and a strong man could show a sweet side...

Around a campfire, he tells his captive audience: "Fair dinkum, I get around. You never know where I'll pop up." Almost an hour into Wolf Creek, the pressure has become almost unbearable. Which is exactly how first-time writer-director Greg Mclean wants it.

...dirt. Spitz brings readers inside the studio, where the Beatles, none of whom could read music, generated a staggering catalog of innovations, including the first use of feedback. He also pries open the songwriting dyad of McCartney and Lennon, who couldn't seem to stop writing perfect pop songs even when they couldn't stand each other. Anything was raw material: a cornflakes jingle (Good Morning, Good Morning), a snippet of Shakespeare on the radio (I Am the Walrus), the stoned ramblings of Peter Fonda (She Said She Said...
