TOP 10 ALBUMS OF ALL TIME: #9 - '77' by TALKING...
disillusioned new wave art-punk at its finest. at the helm of talking heads—-an unstable musical wundermensch, david byrne, who awkwardly yelps and dances with lampshades while remaining surprisingly calculated. 77, the heads’ debut album, functions as a strange excercise between minimalism and sheer chaos; it’s a record of contradictions, but a trailblasing one at that. at times...

for a brief moment, i felt resistant to put an album that was released so recently on my list. then, i felt really stupid. panda bear’s (noah lennox) phenomenal psychedelic sampler-pop dreamland, person pitch, is a wonder to hear. listening to it is an experience—-after all, some of the tracks veer into the 12+ minute territory. noah’s lilting, soft vocals and reverb-drenched...

I HAVE A BRITISH CLONE
stumbled across a girl named victoria hesketh who calls herself little boots. based out of the uk, nme named her an artist to watch in 2009. she combines an arsenal of synthesizers and mad keyboard-playing indiechick grooves into amazing backing tracks. her lyrics are a bit fluffy and superficial, but man, this girl has potential. if i could sing half as well, i’d think we’d make the...

kim gordon of sonic youth (also, it should be noted that she’s one of my musical heroes) high-waisted pencil skirt, token worn-in cowboy boots, tights oversized colored sunglasses, baggy shirt—-and the boots again! bonus points for being the chick cool enough for the guys. awesome sunglasses tights+shorts, metallic shoes. awkward musician boyfriend a necessary accessory.
