This Week's Top Picks Just a word or two about the picks listed on the left border of BDRIB. They are not necessarily recommendations to buy. They ARE suggestions on what I'd recommend trying to find a listen to. There is no ranking meant to be implied in what order they are listed. Ideally I want to post at least one entry on one of each week's picks - I hope to post something very soon about My Morning Jacket's Z - but that's not a commitment, just a hope. Depends. And maybe, or maybe not, I'll write snippets, much like the following, about some of the other CDs: The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike: silly, dance-your-brain-out-able. Thoroughly fluff, thoroughly fun. Amadou and Mariam - Dimanche a Bamako: wonderful music from Mali, produced by Manu Chao (whose Proxima Estacion: Esperanza has a permanent spot in my personal rotation). World music, indeed. Portastatic - Bright Ideas: Portastatic is considered a side project of Superchunk's Mac McCaughan; I prefer P to S. We'll see how this develops. Feedback very welcome. |
