Just listerning to the Adam and Joe podcast from last week, very funny!

Long Blondes - The Couples [2008] 8/10
David Bowie - Hunky Dory [1971] 9/10

The Lonely Island & Michael Bolton - Jack Sparrow

 

[Keith]

Amerie - Because I Love it [2007] 8/10
Slick, and smoothly produced hip hop, she has a compelling voice, and some cheeky lryics, and there are some powerful hooks, and base sounds.

Radiohead - Pablo Honey [1992] 7/10
Lacking in the depth of the Bends and OK Computer, and bit one note in places, but still a very raw, and beauty debut, with iconic tunes like Creep and Anyone Can Play Guitar still standing up today. Much better than most debut LP's.

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake [2011] 8/10
One of her most creative, and beautiful Albums to date.

 

[Troy]

Foo Fighters - Rope

 

[Prodigy]

Bed Intruder song - Antoine Dodson

 

[Keith]

Mazzy Star - She Hangs Brightly [1994] 8/10
Just stunning vocals, and a very atmospheric background sound, at times almost like the songs have been recorded in a bathroom. There is a range in the music too, as she covers country, blues, and Psychodelic. Star manages to get the bland between being storyteller and singer just right, and haunting yet moving sound.

 

[Troy]

Cat Stevens - Father and Son

 

[Keith]

The Lovely Eggs - Haunt Me Out (2009) 7.5/10
Their excellent 2009 Twin Peaks themed halloween themed single!

Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther (2006) 8/10
Very tight, raw, but entertaining, anti-country/blues.

 

[Keith]

Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim (2008) 9/10
Poetic, tender, but heartbreaking songs, but due to the witting, sharp observations, it is never a bleak listen. A beautiful voice, and a wonderful songwriter. The good news is she is only in her early twenties, and has all ready produced two classic Albums. This is a special talent, REJOICE!
