Countpopula's blog of truth. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Q3 2012: Music is my therapy. Can I begin by stating that the summer of 2012 has been one of the rockiest of my life? 1) PET SHOP BOYS- Elysium. Alright, I know many will say this was a totally expected response, but actually, Elysium. Songs to hear: Leaving, A Face Like That, Memory of the Future, Invisible. 2) ANTONY and THE JOHNSONS- Cut the World. Marina and co. really did it this time. Bodyparts. Songs to hear: Live In This City, My Legs, Riot.

Countpopula's blog of truth. Saturday, June 26, 2010. Q2: What else could possibly top the first half? Another half a year gone, and seriously, could it feel like I am crusing into my forties more excited about music than I was at 16? Just over a year ago. Whoever had the stroke of genius to bring Stuart Price in to oversee the executive production on. I could do a track by track rundown of how glorious the songs on. The album that made me love her all over again. I just have a feeling I will be able...

http://cpopula2.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Countpopula's blog of truth. Monday, May 30, 2011. OK, where did the time go. 1) DURAN DURAN- All You Need Is Now. I have been a Duran fan for lo these many years, and while their career has been admittedly uneven (to say the least), they really hit their retro-stride with this album, the best of their career since Rio. 2) CUT COPY- Zonoscope. Cut Copy's last album, In Ghost Colours. Was my favorite album of 2008, and Zonoscope. 4) YOUNG GALAXY- Shapeshifting. 5) ELBOW- Build a Rocket Boys! Finds Elbow i...

http://cpopula2.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Countpopula's blog of truth. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. I realize that I am nearly a month late again (sorry for that). I guess this quarter I was still trying to catch up from the previous, and although there was a lot of music for me to digest, it didn't all strike the heights that some earlier did this year, save for a few select items. Let's get to it then:. 2)LAURA MARLING- A Creature I Don't Know. I Speak Because I Can. Only came out a year ago, with. Alas I Cannot Swim. Man, was I wrong. It featur...

http://cpopula2.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Countpopula's blog of truth. Friday, April 27, 2012. 2012 Q1: aka The Big Sleep. 1) LANA DEL REY- Born to Die. I suppose this is fairly predictable, but I was really hoping MDNA. 3) SINEAD O'CONNOR- How About I Be Me (and You Be You)? Fantastically innovative pop from New York duo with echoes of Hall and Oates AND the Cocteau Twins. How many bands can you say THAT about? Brilliantly produced and the vocals are top notch. 5) SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS- Ghostory. 6) 2 BEARS- Be Strong. Possibly the best party r...

Countpopula's blog of truth. Sunday, December 16, 2012. And Here We Are At The End Of It All.2012. 1) SAINT ETIENNE- Words and Music by Saint Etienne. Here I am this supposed major Etienne fan. They even made my favorite album of 2012, Words and Music. They toured the states for the first time in years, and I couldn't find the funds to get to NYC to see them. Couldn't they have thrown a little love Midlantica way? 2) LANA DEL REY- Born to Die (Paradise Edition). 3) PET SHOP BOYS- Elysium. I actually DID ...

Countpopula's blog of truth. Saturday, December 31, 2011. 2011: I can't believe it's all gone. I can't believe we are saying goodbye to another year. They keep coming and going faster all the time. At least, that's my perception. 2011 was a difficult year for me personally. There was lots of upheaval at home with selling and building/buying a new home and moving on the same day in April- I STILL haven't recovered! 1) SOUND OF ARROWS-. All You Need Is Now. 3) FLORENCE and THE MACHINE-. After all, isn't th...

Countpopula's blog of truth. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Q3: I can't frickin' believe September is gone. The Age of Adz. This is a unique choice for me, and I'll be the first to admit it. I've never been much of a Sufjan fan, as I found some of his down home folk-isms a bit silly, and his state homages uber-pretentious. Stevens has taken five years to break away from the state-history concept, and in that time, has learned how to find a way out and reinvent himself. The Age of Adz. Arcade Fire's third...

Countpopula's blog of truth. Saturday, June 23, 2012. Q2: A Tad Preemie, but whatevs. 1) SAINT ETIENNE- Words and Music by Saint Etienne. Without question the best album of 2012 to date, this one's gonna be hard to beat come year's end. Their first new full album in 7(! Years, Sarah, Bob, and Pete have come up with a record to rival their best full length, Tiger Bay. From 1994, 18 years ago. While Tales From Turnpike House. 2) MARINA and THE DIAMONDS- Electra Heart. 4) HOT CHIP- In Our Heads. This band i...
