Girls Is Streaming At My House -by Iman Lababedi
Broken Dreams Club – Girls – For a website that barely exists, we sure do fight with a lotta people. Remember when Girls leader Christopher Owens called me a dog after I annihilated his out of tune performance at Irving Plaza earlier this year. Guess what? he’s right, I am a dog and this is instantaneously one of the best releases of 2010. A beautifully arranged, played and sung uber-pop with shades of Bacharah. Released November 22nd, I completely missed it but will rectify the situation shortly. When it comes to indie, nobody is close right now.
Gift Wrapped II – Snowed In – Various Artists – Devo? Regina Spektor? The Flaming Lips playing “Little Drummer Boy”. On the other hand, the Goo Goo Dolls? caveat emptor all the way when it comes to Christmas covers.
Live In London – Regina Spektor – I know, i know, but my Live At the Beacon Theatre boot from 2009 is much better.
# 1 Hits – Tim McGraw – I am sure Alan Jackson is sleeping better after listening to this dog.
Love Me Back – Jazmine Sullivan – The buzz on this r&b diva in waiting is deafening but I can’t here it. Sounds like the usual unusual hip hop production non songs.
Cowboys From Hell – Pantera – Excellent sampler for the punk-metal stalwarts 20th anniversary.
