Still, I did enjoy the hell out of El-P's second album, <I>I'll Sleep When You're Dead</I>, which wins the award for most absurd guests on a rap album. Trent Reznor? Cat Power?? Bonus points for the weirdness, and double bonus points for the fact that both guest spots actually work. On the more avant-garde end, I also loved Keith Rowe's latest solo disc, <I>The Room</I>, which is just gorgeous.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-26671604439069009192007-12-31T09:50:00.000-05:002007-12-31T09:50:00.000-05:00"Song 4 Mutya" is the feircest song to ever be fie..."Song 4 Mutya" is the feircest song to ever be fierce.

All I would've needed were a red Ben-Stiller-In-Royal-Tenenbaums-style gym suit and a 'fro. His CD is uneven but so much fun. <BR/><BR/>Also fun is that Dolly video. I'm looking forward to the full CD in February.<BR/><BR/>Don't know if you've got time for a couple extra listens, Mr. Film Bitch, but if you do, check out the new album from Juanes (Colombia's non-Shakira music superstar) or even "Phantom Punch" by Sondre Lerche. I think those are my two all-around favorites this year.

She gave up the brooding and it is funtastic.

The three singles released from American Doll Posse may not be the best from the album, but they're certainly enjoyable and a change from her earlier stuff. She's more of a woman. It's not necessarily better or worse; but it's welcome. Big Wheel, Teenage Hustling and my favourite, Bouncing Off Clouds.

Mutya Beuna. It's sounds like it was made in 1984 <I>and</I> 2084.<BR/><BR/>Album of the Year - Either <I>Hook Me Up</I> by The Veronicas or <I>Kala</I> by MIA. The former is like some long lost Giorgio Moroder-produced soundtrack and the latter is just electric amazing.<BR/><BR/>But, there's actually quite a lot of good stuff this year. My 750-strong CD collection grows and grows and grows.<BR/><BR/>Totally agreed about all your selections though, especially what you said about Bjork, Jackie Beat and Alanis. I love that Pink's album has been out for, like, a million years and only this year did America's mainstream catch on that it was the best thing she'd ever done.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.com
