I doubt I even yet spend more than 15% of my listening time on 2010-dated music, so my recommendations list is small and my descriptions will be tentative, but I've liked Aloha - Home Acres (progressive pop, rhythmically propulsive) Paula Carino - Open on Sundays (rootsy pop with sparse rock production, something like Amy Rigby with Liz Phair's voice) Field Music - Measure (somewhere between XTC's overcomplexity, which I love, and the Sugarplastic's low-budget thinness, which sadly I don't, but inventively melodic a la either band) Zach Lupetin and the Dustbowl Revival - You Can't Go Back to the Garden of Eden (Dixieland, gypsy jazz, folk, bluegrass, western, swing, blues, tin pan alley pop, and lots of good cheer) Rattlemouth - Home Fed and Full Grown (instrumental, reminding me a fair bit of Tuatara: sprightly and eclectic "world music" (and a tinge of spy music) with extremely agile horns, and interesting drumming; leader Danny Finney is an utterly distinctive and likeable saxophonist) Rotting Christ - Aealo (about what you'd expect a band called Rotting Christ to sound like, but just enough more tuneful, and excellent) Verlaines - Corporate Moronic (five parts American Music Club, one part Joe Jackson's 'Night and Day', one part "Cabaret"'s soundtrack, but his intelligence takes more of an observer, and potential rebel, stance than Eitzel's has: self-deprecation, not self-loathing) Yeasayer - Odd Blood (psychedelic hippie '80s electrodance, or something implausible like that)

Can it?? It is, indeed. It's actually an '09 release. They've put out three albums since they disappeared off the North American musical radar. 1997's Over The Moon is similar to their other records on Slash and is brilliant. 2007's Potboiler is incredible -- similar in songwriting to the Slash records but sonically a bit of a return to the Bird Dog style, it's a real masterpiece. I thought Corporate Moronic was a bit of a let down after Potboiler (not as melodically solid, maybe a bit too on-the-nose lyrically for my tastes), but because it's a Verlaines record it is genius.

If you only buy one song so far this year, make it "Low Expectations" I forgot to include the Chris Knox tribute, Stroke, on my list. It's really wonderful -- two discs loaded with excellent tracks. Alec Bathhgate, AC Newman and Don Mcglashan are probably my favorites. The new Tall Dwarfs track with Knox singing wordlessly (aphasia has robbed him of verbal communication) are simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring -- and a real testament to his incredible spirit. xo, B ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2010 01:06:12 -0400 From: Jenny Grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Re: ...and that's the horn for the end of the first quarter... Haven't heard all these, but I heartily recommend the new Aloha and Field Music. Am disappointed in the new Yeasayer, though. I loved the previous one. New Drive By Truckers is more rock and much less country than the last one. Quite liking the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Soft Pack.

I figured I would join in on this discussion after more than a year of lurkdom (is that what the kids call it these days?) 1. Ted Leo - The Brutalist Bricks 2. Goldfrapp - Head First 3. Spoon - Transference 4. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat The Devil's Tattoo 5. Mascara - Fountain Of Tears So far, the one record I've been really disappointed with is: 1.
