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...

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...
