So what I did was shuffle my February 2010 playlist and I am gonna try to keep to a one sentence review;
Lions – Tune-Yards – Everybody who saw her open for DP went out and formed a band.
There Goes My Baby – Usher – More soul than R&B which makes it weird in a good way.
If You’re On The Mend, I’m On My Way – The Kinglsey Manx – A gentle farewll
Acts Of Man – Midlake – Art rock pretending to be folk rock
Black & Tan – The Kingsley Manx – An art folk song with a pop rock song fighting to get out
Your Love Is My Drug – Ke$ha – “I like your beard”
Black Ladder – Patti Scialfa – Her finest moment
Shameless – Groove Armada feat Bryan Ferry – Like an outtake from Mamouna
Stunner Shades in Heaven – Princeton – Song title of the year
Bruised And Scarred – Mayday Parade – The best of all the Take Action kids.
Ambling Alp – Yeasayers – Is Brooklyn in the house
Dustheads – Dustheads – Like punk only heavier.
No Intention (Acoustic version) – Dirty Projectors – Even better when lighter
Theme from “Cheers” – Titus Andronicus – Song of the year so far.
Addictive Love – Bebe and Cece Winans – Why is there something so fleshy in their love of God?
Pray For Rain – Massive Attack – Like the 00s never happened.
Get Close – Call The Cops – Why does it sound like the vocals are double tracked?
Please Don’t – David Byrne and Fatboy Slim – So many shoes, so little time.
In The Flesh – Blondie – Two new york punk icons in a row… wooo hooo… now this is really fleshy stuff
