You’ll have to excuse the names of some of my posts. I sometimes like to be a bit wordy because I have lots of words to say when I think about words.
There have been a handful of albums released in 2008 that I pretty much rotate on a daily basis. As some of you may have seen, I have my iPod & speakers set-up at work & I just listen to music all day while shirking responsibilities & dodging additional work. Ha ha…just kidding boss…or not…yes, I’m kidding. Here are the five albums I have enjoyed the most so far this year:
- Elvis Costello & The Impostors, “Momofuku”
- Old 97s, “Blame It On Gravity”. There isn’t a review for this album. I am trying not to review every album I get because…well…there are many people who haven’t heard of some of the bands I listen to & I would actually like people to read the stuff here, not be bored.
- She & Him, “Volume One”
- Flight of the Conchords, self titled
- Wolf Parade, “At Mount Zoomer”. Yet another album with no review. Is that large of an audience really that interested in hearing me go on & on about this odd indie pop band? If so, let me know & I’ll bang out a review. If not…status quo.
Lastly…most disappointing album of recent memory, in addition to 2008, belongs to My Morning Jacket’s “Evil Urges”. It should be sold with a warning sticker: Long Time MMJ Fans Beware, This Is Not Your Band.
