I haven't done one of these since May so I thought I'd share with y'all what I've been listening to since the last update...
Most of it has proven to be pretty unremarkable. Music needs a shake-up!
 |
| I have no issue with artists and bands being inspired by the 80's...it's
one of my favourite eras! But this is just retro-overkill. Terribly
disappointing especially since I enjoyed their debut CD so much! |
 |
| This is such an amazing CD! Even the duet with Rufus (bitch!) Wainwright is good! |
 |
| P!nk
is starting to get a little generic and formulaic with her
songwriting. The whole thing just sounds...familiar. The ballads save it. |

 |
| One of my favourite bands of the Acid Jazz genre! A little bit of greatness! |
 |
| A gigantic disappointment. |

| Pure curiosity compelled me to check out CRJ's debut. I don't think I'll be keeping it, but as far as "pop" music goes, it's right on the money. |
 |
| Hate it. Another huge disappointment. |
 |
I really wanted needed this to be good. I love supporting homegrown talent, but they're making it difficult. 2007's Galore was fun! 2009's Fixin' To Thrill was hit and miss. Body Parts has like, 3 good tracks. Sigh. |
 |
| If watching paint dry needed a soundtrack, this would be it. |

| Exquisite. I was enjoying her obscurity, but she's blowing up quickly. Still, beautiful disc and a gorgeous voice. |
 |
| Sam Sparro is my hero. In a year of musical missteps, Return To Paradise is a welcome disc and is highly played on my iTunes! |

I'm so glad you said that about the Presets and Pink (and even the Pet Shop Boys) - so disappointing. Jx
ReplyDeleteI think P!nk, as much as I do love her, is getting too comfortable in her "brand" of music... That spunky, faux-punk rock that made her famous. There are some great songs on her album though, and you're right, the ballads do save it.
