Is it just me, or has it been an off-year so far, album-wise? Doesn’t seem like I’ve really come across a record released this year that’s truly reached out and grabbed me. Forgive me if I’m forgetting anything. But, think about this: besides Death Cab and Coldplay(overrated!), all those bands that made great albums last year haven’t put anything out yet, although Of Montreal, mewithoutYou and Metric are all expecting. Which means happy times are comething soon.
Ah! I just remembered one – the new Say Hi album is amazing. Still not quite the kind of album I’d hang a “best of the year” tag on, though. Check it out: www.myspace.com/sayhitoyourmom
Later this week if everything goes well I’m going to post a couple of reviews, let you in on what’s been spinning thru my iPod – I’ve been listening to a lot of great stuff, it’s just that none of it came out this year. Also, points to anyone who caught the Norma Jean reference in the title… yes, I’ll be discussing The Anti Mother.
wow! i love say hi to your mom! it’s been a while since i’ve heard anyone mention them. nice to hear somebody else likes them too. haha
