To prove I don’t hate everything in this world, let me make a suggestion for something I love. I thought I would do a weekly ‘cd of the week’ to show off some of the music/albums I love. Go buy Goldfrapp’s new cd ‘Seventh Tree’. You might be thinking, she’s too dancy (aka- too gay) but in fact this cd is a great singer-songwriter album (something I love) that music fans of all genres can appreciate. And for the gays who love uber-gay dance pop, well this cd isn’t for you.
The nominees for the Grammy Awards were announced today. Now, I haven’t done any articles on music, I kinda wanted to stick to tv, however I’m a big music fan as well. Although I’m not happy with most of these people up for awards.
I have my own ‘best of the year’. Here it is.
Album:
Feist “The Reminder” - Best album all year, my favorite due to quality and sentimental reasons
Rihanna “Good Girl Gone Bad” - A guilty pleasure, what can I say?
New Pornographers “Challengers” - Probably the best alternative album all year, well written songs, everything works.
Blonde Redhead “23″ - Haunting melodies and intriguing songwriting.
PJ Harvey “White Chalk” - A new direction for her, and it works.
