The awfulness that is Last 2 Walk revealed how great this one was.
Top 5 Juiced my buttons almost no one else here listened to:
Hatchback Colors of the Sun
80's synths, modern arrangements. At times a little bit Air, a little bit post-disco groove. All great.
Jetlag - Hatchback
Jaguar Love Take Me To The Sea
Schizzo as all hell. I'm 99% positive this is the only cd i actually bought this year.
Highways of Gold - Jaguar Love
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Lie Down In The Light
If you slipped past the summer blog, just effing get it. Simply beautiful.
You Remind Me of Something (The Glory Goes) - Bonnie Prince Billy
Raheem Devaughn Love Behind The Melody
This album's deceptive. First listen, pretty good contemporary r&b. Subsequent listens, awesome. Interesting lyrical perspectives, playful production, and enough traditional to balance it all out. THE r&b album of '08.
