Kind of neat Spanish soft rock that went on waaaay to long. Fun, but it eventually just turned into background noise.

Weird, unsettling, and darkly seductive.

I was expecting some Southern, Country-fried twangy stuff. This completely caught me off guard. Good stuff!

Tally Hall has always been a fun band, and this is no exception

This one was kind of weird, ethereal, and at times haunting. Not sure how I feel about it just yet.

another kind of oddball album. Interesting, but I can't exactly explain how or why.

Fun album. Had never heard of these guys, so it was a nice surprise.

Barenaked Ladies have often been written off as a sugar pop or humor band, and nothing is farther from the truth. These guys make amazing music that may seem innocuous on the surface, but hit with the power of a thousand suns when you're not ready for it.

It's a folk album, pure and simple. If that's your thing, you'll dig it.

I don't understand the appeal of Vampire Weekend, and I doubt that I ever will. Don't take that as a condemnation of their music, I just don't get it.

Progenitors of 3rd wave Ska. This is a seminal album in one of the best genres ever created.

Blind from birth, Gurrumul wove together an interesting pastiche of musical styles and themes. Thought provoking, but not something I can really see myself listening to again.

You never know how to take Type O Negative. If you take it seriously, then you're mocked for being too involved with the persona. If you take it as tongue in cheek, you're labeled a poseur.

a very tasty album of blues songs and standards.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, so you would think it would be impossible to be disappointed, but you'd be wrong.

Weird, Post-pop music for the tragically hip. I kept getting essence of Neutral Milk Hotel for some reason. Not my bag.

Weird, unsettling, and darkly seductive.

British dream pop that will probably appeal to fans of the Lemonheads.

Electro dance from Britain. Not my thing, but it's enjoyable enough.

Interesting take on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Seems totally on brand for the Alan Parsons Project.

Fun dub album from one of the progenitors of the subgenre. Well worth a listen.

Punk rock from Spain? Heck Yeah!

Irish Post-punk. Tasty, but almost niche.

I don't know if it's fair to call this music. It's more like an aural assault from multiple angles at the same time. I can imagine seeing someone like Charlie Sheen saying "This is why you don't take Ketamine and LSD at the same time. It's like you're simultaneously sodomizing and being sodomized by goats."

Not really sure what to make of this, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.

I was expecting some Southern, Country-fried twangy stuff. This completely caught me off guard. Good stuff!

A masterpiece of camp, androgyny, debauchery, and good wholesome fun.
