Wow we are getting down to the nitty gritty...
I think I can relate this post to Inauguration day as well... Lets see We have a new "Head honcho" "Ready for the Floor". We want to end this economic downturn created by the wicked "lenders in the Temple", and we "Salute your Solution" for the moment. Hopefully if you "Play Your Part" correctly, we won't look like "Fools" in the end and be forced to "Abandon" all hope.
On with the list...
034. Dodos - Fools - Great album, and a catchy little song from what a little band from the West Coast that play what they call Psychadelic folk.
033. The Rosebuds - Life Like - Raleigh NC band, consisiting of married couples, like Mates of state and the Dears... this record was produced by Bon Iver. so you know its good.
032. Why? - The Holllows - Another west coast band.. they intrigue me... not all the songs sound the same, but they all are groovy... this one has a kind of Flobots "handlebars " vibe.
031. Mano Chao - The Bleedin Clown - The freaking opening of this song is just os in your face and catchy, it just pulls you in... It makes you listen. And clowns are evil so its good to see them bleed. Reminds me of the scene in Billy Madison.
030. The Racounteurs - Salute your Solution - Nashville's answer to shitty po country is back... not as good as the last album, but still fabulous. These guys can put on a show too...
029. Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor - do it do it do it do it do it now... this was destined to be sampled... Brit electronica pop that just infects your brain.
028. Conor Oberst - Lenders in the Temple - The kid is still brilliant... I don't care how hipster that makes me sound... awesome lyics, simple yet moving music.
027. Ida Maria - Oh My God - Norwegian awesomness.... I dunno kind of a Rilo Kiley vibe, but with more of a feist-like voice.
026. Girl Talk - Play your part(pt 1) - Another pure Genious.. Pittsburgh spinner, who does magical mashups. This is the first track, and I can't stop listening to it.
025. Rodney Crowell - I want you - The Houston Kid turned 58 this year, but he never stopped being relevant. Just a great sound, and always great lyrics
024. Cat Power - Song To Bobby - Awww, Thanks Chan for writing a song for me... what? It's written for Dylan?!?... dammit!.... Still a great song on a great album of covers. Lover her voice.
023. Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes - So many great songs from her... so many commericial uses... I don't care... I love the music
022. HoneyHoney - Little Toy Gun - Venice Ca - just a nice indie pop side, with a bit of blues and spanish guitar infused. Plus the name of the Album is called "First rodeo". That's just awesome.
021. French Kicks - Abandon - NYC band's album isn't glorious, but it has glimpses of greatness... the melodic harmonies and hypnotizing guitar riffs make this song awesome
020. DeVotchKa - Head Honcho - Denver finally decides its good for something and gives us this band, which i will describe as mariachi gypsy folk punk. It just sounds awesome. Maybe I'm just feeling my roots, but I will push this on everybody.
019. Flight of the Conchords - Ladies of the World - New Zealands best parody band, give us an album that sounds... pretty freaking amazing... these guys are great muscians...and this song
