Albums, Songs, Gigs 2011 – Part Three

Here’s the third (and final, you’ll be pleased to hear) round up of the year’s music. Or at least the year’s music that I could give a toss about. Parts One and Two here and here. The Albums You Wish The Artist Would Re-Record As A Solo Acoustic Album Ron Sexsmith – Long Player Late [...]

Albums 2011 – Part Two

Here’s Part Two of my list of my favourite things from 2011. And by things, I mean albums, songs, and gigs, as opposed to huge steaming piles of crystal meth. (Disclaimer: I do not have anything to do with huge steaming piles of crystal meth. It’s all meow meow round here, you know) Part One [...]

Albums 2011 – Part One

Well, it’s been one of those years. For one reason or another, my record searching out ability, and time or inclination to sit down and write something about records, has been seriously curtailed this year. And so it seems appropriate that the first two records in my list weren’t even released this year. So it [...]

Songs Of 2009 (Part Two)

I didn’t originally intend this to be a two-parter, but when I got to twelve songs with the distinct impression that I’d forgotten a bunch, I thought I’d be safe and do this in two sections. That way I can bung stuff in at the end that I forgot first time round. Part one is [...]

Songs Of 2009 (Part One)

Or rather, great songs from good albums that came out this year. Or great songs that weren’t on an album at all. Or great songs that were on albums that I never got round to listening to. Oh, just great songs, alright? (Some of my favorite songs are actually on favorite albums, so see here [...]

Albums of 2009

After many months of deliberation here at L&L Towers (ok, it’s just me sitting there looking out of the window trying to remember what on earth I’d done all year), I’ve put together my top albums of the year. Like the Albums of the Decade (starting here), the idea was to only choose albums which [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Six), And A Song

This is the final part of six-part series, of my albums of the decade. It’s a totally personal view, of albums I’ve listened to tons and love dearly, rather than good albums with some great songs on. If you’d like to read the rest, here’s Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four and Part [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Five)

So, here’s part five of my series of personal albums of the decade. No Radiohead, eh? Albums Of The Decade (Part One) Albums Of The Decade (Part Two) Albums Of The Decade (Part Three) Albums Of The Decade (Part Four) Midlake – The Trials Of Van Occupanther (2006) I recommended this to a friend’s husband. [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Four)

First off, let me say, oh balls, I missed something… Devendra Banhart – Rejoicing In The Hands (2004) Pretty much kicked off the whole freak folk movement. Not quite as mind-boggling as his first album, but a far more listenable and loveable record. MP3: Will Is My Friend by Devendra Banhart Buy “Rejoicing In The [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Three)

Here’s part three of my list of albums of the decade. These are albums I love and have listened to, ooh, hundreds of times over the years. Pretty much all of them are still on my very full iPhone, instead of more current stuff like Animal Collective or whoever, because they are great. Oh yes. [...]
