I'll Party By Myself Because I'm Such A Special Guy

Posted Tuesday June 3, 2008, 2:39 am, Over one day old
Weezer "Troublemaker" - I'll never understand why people are so hard on Rivers Cuomo. The other thing that people seem to forget is that Weezer is never supposed to be cool, and that since day one, their brand has been about embracing whatever might make "cool kids" feel uncomfortable.

The Grey Eyes, The Gentle Kiss

( Click here to buy it from Amazon.) The Cool Kids "What It Is" - The Cool Kids are undeniably retro, but unlike a majority of artists who lean hard on the sound of 80s hip hop, they are neither aggravating or boring. ( Click here to buy it from Amazon.)

With Nothing To Consider

Posted Friday May 30, 2008, 4:39 am, Over one day old
The Ting Tings "That's Not My Name" - The Ting Tings' debut album is a peculiar balance of chart pop style and indie affect, and as such, it seems like something that ought to make a select group of people very happy, and completely alienate pretty much everyone else.

The Taste Of Life

Posted Thursday May 29, 2008, 4:12 am, Over one day old
Portishead "We Carry On" - Just about two weeks ago, a few minutes into the daily morning meeting at work, I found out that I, along with all of my co-workers, was about to be out of a job. I had to stick around and stew in a silent panic for a few more hours, but sometime around 2 PM, I went home.

We've Got A Secret Between Us

I had assumed that when the band got around to releasing a live album, it would be very simple: Each tour has a different line-up of instruments and/or musicians, and corresponding arrangements and medleys, so they could just release a disc from each period.

Rose Elinor Dougall "Start Stop Synchro" - When it was announced that Rose and Becki were leaving the Pipettes, many people were right to be skeptical about the future of that band.

They End Up In Blood

Erykah Badu "Twinkle" - Much of Erykah Badu's latest album lingers in a shell-shocked haze; claustrophobic and uncomfortable, yet zoned-out and inert. ( Click here to buy it from Amazon.) ( Click here to get the entire Ghostly Swim compilation from Ghostly International.)

Swallow A Drop Of Freezing Sweat

Of course, aside from a few songs, they aren't quite as good -- Princess can replicate the timbre of Karin's voice, but does not match her ability to convey complicated emotions with subtle vocal inflections, or her her willingness to distort her voice for artistic effect.

Scaling Love's Great Heights

Alphabeat "What Is Happening?" - There was a perfect moment for this song in this week's season finale of Gossip Girl. This song was built for such a moment, whether it's in fiction, in life, or somewhere in between.

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

Posted Tuesday May 20, 2008, 6:46 am, Over one day old
Rostam Batmanglij "Campus" - I'm not an expert, but it would seem that this string-centric version of "Campus" credited to Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij predates the arrangement that appears on that group's celebrated debut album. ( Click here to buy it from Diet Cola.)
