So here we are at Day 2 of the "Best of 20093 Blogger Crew and today is a monster post from E. over at Das Klienicum . It's a monster because he is posting on his top 50 albums of the year and he even has ratings broken out by number of stars (ranked out of 5 as best)....ummm, top 50 people!! There isn't gushing, there isn't microscopic dissection of each album in order to create some sort of reasoning, there is simply that feeling when you just know that this album is good and [...]

A volte, con il peso che va più su quasi mai che su non sempre, è il sendo di incompiutezza delle cose ad innalzarne il valore. Ed è questo il caso che può riguardare il quinto lavoro di Tara Jane O'Neil A ways away, primo per la K Records di Calvin Johnson (per cui subito la pronuncia del nome da molti parte un "sia lode e gloria a Cristo") per cui il vero punto di forza è il senso di incompiutezza e di tensione. Di nervosismo, a suo modo, stretto fa passaggi rarefatti di post rock e [...]

So I was [...]

There's something to be said about a young soul with the spirit of a wise one, and Tara Jane Oneil is precisely such a person. She's got the spirit of wonderment, and despite the beauty of this song, "Drowning" there's something haunting in her delivery, but in a completely endearing way. Yea, it's a mellow number for sure, but one to ease you into the weekend with the magic of her voice alone. Her record A Ways Away comes out via K Records on May 5th. Also, be [...]
HANK ALTOGETHER: I don't know what part of your brain it is that allows you to recognize repetition. But, this part must have a field day when you listen to Tara Jane O'Neil. Her songs aren't so much songs as they are chamber compositions for the mythical parts of your brain: haunting, repetitive, melodic, you can just as easily imagine a tree growing as a snake eating it's own tail in the chords of her looped guitar. So, it's always a big day at my house when Tara Jane puts out a [...]
