Picks:
Julian Lennon/James S. Cook – Lucy (Single)
Pleasant pop rock with indie and folk influences. Co-written by John Lennon’s son, the song is a tribute to his childhood friend Lucy Vodden (the Lucy of ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’) who recently died of lupus-related disease.
Add, but could be easily persuaded otherwise.
Say Anything – Say Anything
More emo-y tracks from the Los Angeles punk pop rock group. Streamlined and tightly-produced, the album will please their fanbase.
Tracks #s: 2, 3, 7
McGowan Southworth – McGowan-AmericanRegular
Brooklyn singer-songwriter McGowan serves up a healthy blend of punk rock, country, folk, and indie rock. You’ve heard it before, but it still sounds good.
Tracks #: 2, 8
Tegan & Sara – Sainthood
The sixth album from the Canadian indie pop duo, Tegan & Sara take on a punchier sound with Death Cab for Cutie’s Chris Walla as their producer. Has a rich, yet simple sound to it.
Tracks #: 1, 3, 9, 14
Flicks:
Learning Music Monthly – This May Also Be It
Childish indie pop with heavy use of simple synth riffs functioning as hooks. Nothing special, bland almost to the point of being ear-offensive.
Dan Vaillancourt – Lovely Distractions
Kind of sounds like a Tom Petty-wannabe at times. Doesn’t grab my ear.
The Rick Weeds Band – It’s True
Sounds like the last CD. Ugg. Why do I have so much countryyy this weeeekekkkkkkkkkkk
no adddddddd gahhhhhhh
