Touching Down Briefly For a Restless Muse
SOME musicians spend years working on their studios, trying to make a homey space theyll want to keep forever. But the Grammy-nominated producer Brian Burton, right, who is also known as Danger Mouse and half of the alt-pop duo Gnarls Barkley, thinks a temporary setup keeps him most creative. I change spaces all the time, he said. Every four or five months. He said that he has always moved around a lot, so the idea of being unsettled kind of creeps into relaxing me when I work. But his current studio in Los Angeles still bears some personal touches, like a boxing-themed bathroom and a wall plastered with quirky images and cryptic notes to himself. Sometimes I stare at things on the wall when Im getting tired, in the hopes that theyll make more sense to me when I wake up, he said. Some people think its weird, but thats the way I work..

Critics Choice: New CDs
Hot Chip The Warning (DFA/Astralwerks) Hot Chip emerged in 2004 with a weirdly inventive sound (comatose electro-soul) and a weirdly irritating persona (nerdy tragic clowns). This British quintets debut, Coming On Strong, was an oddball mix of sad lyrics, mournful atmospherics, Casio keyboards and ironic gangsta posturing. In the rap sendup Playboy, the vocalist Joe Goddard boasted of blazin Yo La Tengo in a Peugeot decked out with 20-inch tire rims. The funky white-boy shtick often overshadowed the bands ability to plunder elements from disparate sources -- Prince, Devo, Aphex Twin, Beck, indie rock -- and fuse them in a surprisingly fresh new way..

Sarah McLachlan: Between Two Worlds
MACHO MUSIC IS OUT AND empathy is in, according to the barrage of media attention given the folk-pop songbirds of this summers Lilith Fair. The current female singer-songwriter explosion led by artists like Jewel, Meredith Brooks and Paula Cole is a flashback to the early 1970s, when the pop charts were chock full of confessional singers with seemingly little to confess and even less that they cared to protest. Consider Jewels post-hippy ditties: they recall the bubble-gum folk of Melanie, but accessorized in stiletto heels instead of roller skates..

Beck
In a memorable scene in the film This Is Spinal Tap, a washed-up metal band discovers that it has been billed under a puppet show on an amusement park marquee. On Wednesday night the marquee at the Theater at Madison Square Garden could have read, Puppet Show and Beck. That this slight blond singer was upstaged by marionettes at his sold-out show was precisely the point. He was spoofing the notion of celebrity (and compelling many critics to make a Spinal Tap joke). As he and his band members played crowd-pleasers like Loser and Devils Haircut, fuzzy puppets that looked just like them aped their moves. They drummed, scratched turntables and strummed guitars (not an easy feat without fingers), controlled by four puppeteers clad head to toe in black..
