The Kooks Inside/Outside and Konk
I was lucky enough to see them at R&V 08. The Kooks were electric live, as drunk as they were, made the set that more exciting and frantic. They were perfect to dance in the rain with.
Inside/Outside got through my second teaching practice on the west coast. I listened to it EVERY day after school.
Konk recently has been a life saver.
Plus the lead singer, Luke Pritchard, is probably the most sexy thing ever. Thank you Kooks.
Best Tracks: Inside/Outside "I Want You"; "See the World"; "Sofa Song"
Konk "Sway"; "Gap"; "Love It All"
Green Day American Idiot
This is an oldie but a goody,my favorite Green Day album. The rock opera is extraordinary!! I can listen to it over and over. I love the flow, the lyrics - it's the whole package of goodness.
Best Tracks: "Last of the A Jesus of Suburbia: Jesus of Suburbia/City of the Damned/I Don't Care"; "She's a Rebel"; "Extraordinary Girl"; "Whatshername?"
John Butler Trio April Uprising
April Uprising is crammed with undeniably great pop songs and enough inventiveness to suggest that John Butler's own star is finally rising.
I love JBT I would call them root music. Or my friends describe as hippie/folk dancing music. This is their fifth album, I have the last two and regularly listen to them, when I feeling a little blue. I have three songs so far and I heart them.
Can't wait to hear the rest of this album.
Very excited about
MGMT Congratulations
Pitchfork's thoughts-
They're in love with 1970s art-rock, and they've immersed themselves in uncool subgenres like pop-psych and prog. And despite the lack of marquee songs, they've made, top to bottom, a more interesting and even better record this time out.
