• Vivian Girls - I Heard You Say

Thursday, October 7, 2010 Today's Quick Mention: Unfortunately, I missed out on Phantogram and the Strokes over the last couple of days, so I'm really hoping the rest of my show shenanigans will work out a little better.

While I appreciate the Vivian Girls and have found a number of songs appealing, I can't say I'm as diehard [...]

• La Sera - 01 Never Come Around (Mastered)

Joining them are DC's Brett and the Whispers [...]

Top 20 Albums of 2009 by Benn Ray This is the first time in a long time where I felt like I really had to work to get to 20 great albums in a year. Usually I end up with more than 20 that I have to edit down. I call this year in music The Year of Meh. Except for the 20 albums below. None of them are "meh". I stand behind every one of these records. 1. MORE by DOUBLE [...]

Vivian Girls Everything Goes Wrong (09.2009 In The Red) If you like this, check out: Tiger Trap, Go Sailor, Talulah Gosh, Black Tambourine, Henry's Dress, The Aislers Set, The Flatmates, The Shop Assistants, Cub, Dolly Mixture, Sarah Records, Slumberland Records, Early K Records While I felt Vivian Girls debut last year was a bit overrated I've really got nothing against the band. In fact I think they are pretty darn cool. With their new LP, the girls find themselves writing better songs and more of them. I do however have a bit of beef [...]
