A few interesting ones…

Beastie Boys - “Check Your Head”
Bob Dylan - “Blonde On Blonde”
Pavement - “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain”
Rilo Kiley - “Under The Blacklight” This is their first album in about four years. And it is a good pop record. However - for all Rilo Kiley fans - part of the joy of their music was the lyrics. Those lacerating words and small landmines wrapped in cotton candy and Jenny Lewis’s sexy, gorgeous vocals. This album - on a major label - is just confection. You’ll find no “spring surprise” here - just fine pop craftsmanship and great vocals and catchy guitar licks. Which is not bad. But it is hard to listen to the songs and know you don’t have to flinch.
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals - “This Is Somewhere” The new album! YEAH!!! She is fantastic and the bands kicks butt. Sure - there are a couple of weak songs - but that does nothing to deminish tunes like “Ah, Mary”, “Apologies” or “Flying or Falling”. Awesome record. I can’t wait to see her in two weeks in Central Park!
