#1021 Arcade Fire – Neon Bible

Arcade Fire released their second studio album Neon Bible in 2007. It does not have anything to do with the novel of the same name by John Kennedy Toole. I read that book so many years ago. I am still waiting for a film version of his Pulitzer Prize for Fiction novel A Confederacy of […]

#1020 LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem released their second album Sound of Silver in 2007. Oddly, I recognise their first and third album, but I do not think I ever heard of the second one. Maybe I just don’t remember the song titles. Maybe it was not as good as the other albums. I do like their genres of […]

#1019 Radiohead – In Rainbows

Radiohead‘s seventh studio album In Rainbows was recognised as one of the best albums of 2007 and of the decade by many music publications. The released the album as a pay-what-you-want, which they claimed made money for them. I believe most band do not make much money from album sales. They make it from concert […]

#1018 MGMT – Oracular Spectacular

MGMT is an American band? I had no idea. They sound so British or Australian. I think I discovered them on one of their singing programs. Oracular Spectacular is their 2007 debut album. I never knew what the name meant until today. It was the was founding members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser would sign […]

#1017 Justice – †

Justice is a French electronic music duo. They released their debut album † (Cross) in 2007. This is odd from Wikipedia: “The album received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, reaching number 11 on the French albums chart and number one on the UK and US dance album charts.” I have never heard of […]

#1016 Joanna Newsom – Ys

Joanna Newsom released her second album Ys in 2006. The album has only five songs and it is almost an hour long. The album charted on the low end of Billboard 200, but it was on almost every critics year-end chart, except Rolling Stone magazine and Robert Christgau, who seems to hate everything good in […]

#1015 Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

Arctic Monkeys. I have seen them in concert at Red Rocks in Colorado. They were incredible. Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not is their debut album. This album has special meaning for me. I discovered it with my best friend in Hungary. We listened to it a lot. One of my favourite […]

#1014 Ali Farka Touré – Savane

Ali Farka Touré released his final solo album Savane in 2006. Touré’s died at age 66 from bone cancer, but he was able to finish the album and approve it before he passed. Funny trivia: Farka means donkey. In Africa it is custom to give a child a strange nickname if you have had other […]

#1013 Lupe Fiasco – Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco debut album Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor was released in 2006. The album has a million producers, such as The Neptunes and Kanye West, but it has even more songwriters. Poverty, Islam, terrorism, racism, and individuality are the issues Fiasco raps about throughout the album. I think the worst part of the album […]

#1012 Ghostface Killah – Fishscale

Ghostface Killah is one of the artist that I have never listened to before today. I am sure this will be terrible. Fishscale is the rappers fifth album. I found out something interesting today. I listened to the edited version of this album on Spotify. At times you can tell what they would say and […]
