Buzzards – Margot And The Nuclear So And Sos – “Birds” is so good it had me thinking, but this is the usual minor league Shins crap.
The Hundred In The Hands – The Hundreds In The Marshall – Wyatt Marshall swears by em. I think they are talented in an average sorta way. But potentially huge.
Wake Up – John Legend And The Roots – For fucks sake leave my consciousness where it was. I hop[e they are paying George Clinton royalties.
Mobile Chateau – Matt Costa – There is a reason I don’t tend to like the streamers on Spinner. If I did like em I’d own em already.
The Place We Ran From – Tired Pony – “The music project is collaboration by members of R.E.M. and Belle & Sebastian with guest spots from She & Him, Editors, Snow Patrol and more”. Tired doesn’t begin to describe it.
The Sound of Sunshine – Michael Franti and Spearhead – KILL ME NOW
Rat D’Hotel – Part II – Rat Hears Love Through Thin Walls -Alex Kemp – It should be much worse. “Heart Goes Boom” is pretty good standard issue keyboards based pop rock.
Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride – The Black Ryder – This is experimental sound with an eye on the song construction. From Australia. This is the one to really check out.
From The Cradle To The Rave – Shit Robot – Great to stream the sucker, though I’m half way to owning it.
Available Light – James McCartney – Co-Produced by Sir. Paul, “Angel” isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever heard. The rest? The worst thing I’ve ever heard.
