Comment: Least anticipated? I know it’s shallow to hate a man for his haircut but…. Vance Joy? That curly headed side fringe wearing fop. Ugh. And The Low Anthem, if their lousy Americana wasn’t a good enough reason to hate em, anyone who names an album The Salt Doll Went To Measure The Depth Of The Sea deserves nothing but horror in the face of imbecility. Most anticipated: I love country rockabilly great Rosie Flores and Grant-Lee Phillips single off his album is one of the year’s best.but Screaming Females have been doing this for a long time and earlier this year the band covered (wait for it) “Shake It Off” (wait around for this sick beat…minimal and astonishing) and it was awesome, then she sings the hell outta Sheryl Crow’s only decent song, Marissa Paternoster laughs in the face of every guitar slinger cliche you’ve ever heard, so, yeah, I’m anticipating.
