OK, it appears I’ve failed to pay any attention to pop music since May this year.
What good albums have come out this year. I hear people talking about Deerhunter & Fleet Foxes, and I have no idea who they are. I didn’t even know there was a new Madvillain album.
Here’s what I’ve actually heard:
DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist – The Hard Sell
Goldie Lookin’ Chain – Under The Counter
The Hold Steady – Stay Positive
Kegawa no Maries – Faust C.D.
Kidz In The Hall – The In Crowd
Wale – Mixtape About Nothing
V/A – Tribute to Krauser II: The Metal Mix
The Gutter Twins – Saturnalia
Spiritualized – Songs In A&E
Portishead – Third
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!
MGMT – Oracular Spectacular (actually 2007, but wide release this year)
NYOIL – Hood Treason (ditto)
And that’s pretty much it. What am I missing out on?
