What a bad picture!: 7/27 show
(Sorry for the delay in posting this playlist.)
This week, when I played the Polyphonic Spree, I accidentally played the same song as I played the last time I was on the air when I subbed for Mary a week and a half ago. But I tell you, "Light to Follow" is an awesome song. I like this song in the way I liked songs in high school: deeply and thoroughly. It seems to speak to me on some level. I honestly didn't pay that much attention to the Polyphonic Spree before (though I'm fond of their cover of Nirvana's "Lithium"), but I really like this album all of it.
Which brings me to my thoughts about my top 10 of the year, which is still 5 months away. But here are the albums that are currently in the running, alphabetically by artist:
Lily Allen | Alright, Still | |
Battles | Mirrored | |
Bobby Conn | King for a Day | |
The Earlies | The Enemy Chorus | |
Gogol Bordello | Super Taranta! | |
Haale | Morning and Paratrooper (Two simultaneously-released EPs I'm counting as on album) | |
The Noisettes | What's the Time Mr Wolf? | |
The Polyphonic Spree | The Fragile Army | |
Rufus Wainwright | Release the Stars | |
Patrick Wolf | The Magic Position |
Some of these won't make it to the final list, but they will probably all at least be Honorable Mentions.
