3 of 2008
So, lately, i haven't post a lot...
But, I've listened a lot!
Three bands have really catched my ear, and I've been playing their albums non stop.
You probably know them, there's already been a fuzz about their music, but here i go !
The best album of 2008, by Vampire Weekend
This mix of The Police, the beach boys, clap your hands say yeah and African/Caribbean sounds, is just incredible !
No song in particular, but just the whole album is great...
Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof
Vampire Weekend - Campus
MGMT ("mm gee mm tee", and not "management")
they're like the new Klaxons !
great stuff
MGMT - Time To Pretend
MGMT - Kids
MGMT - Electric Feel
and finally, Yeasayer.
great stuff too, beautiful songs, really. '2080' and 'Sunrise'
free downloads on their site

josé james
new album, the dreamer, out now !
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music says : In an era ruled by songbook clones, the arrival of Brooklyn based vocalist José James is a breath of fresh air. Blessed with striking baritone vocal pipes, the newcomer draws on the spiritually elevated heritage of Andy Bey and John Lucien to make earthy, intelligent, and downright sexy acoustic jazz.
