Published by December 30th, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings, music suggestion, near and dear and show the love. 4 CommentsAs I said yesterday, it was really hard to rank the number 2 and 3 spots, because both records are so wonderful, that I really love them both about the same; however, Feist’s The Reminderdoes have a sliver of an edge, which makes it number 2 on my list. Feist is one of those “obscure” [...]
the 31 best of 2007 - 3: Kate Nash - Made Of Bricks
Published by December 29th, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings, music suggestion, near and dear and show the love. 3 CommentsWow. I can’t believe how hard it was to rank these next two CDs. Seriously, this may be the hardest one to do out of the top of this list, because both the number 3 and the number 2 CDs are so close for different reasons, that I really didn’t know which one to put [...]
the 31 best of 2007 - 4: The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes!
Published by December 28th, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings and music suggestion. 5 CommentsDespite criticism for choosing some albums that were “officially” released in 2006, yet did not actually see official US releases until 2007, I am going to risk further criticism and bring you another amazing CD that was released recently (finally) here in the states; The Pipettes’ debut album, We Are the Pipettes.With the American release [...]

Coming in at number 5, is the current album by Rilo Kiley, titled, Under the Blacklight.First, let me start by saying that I honestly didn’t care very much for this album the first time that I heard it. I ended up getting it, because of my deep love for the [...]
the 31 best of 2007 - 6: Delta Goodrem - Delta
Published by December 26th, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings and music suggestion. 3 CommentsAs the list gets closer and closer to number one, it gets harder and harder not to just foam at the mouth, and gush incessantly about how great these CDs are; but for the most part, just understand that I am trying. Up today, at number 6, is the fabulous third album by Aussie bombshell, [...]
the 31 best of 2007 - 7: Melee - Devils and Angels
Published by December 25th, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings and music suggestion. 0 CommentsIn at number seven, is the amazing sophomore album Devils & Angelsby the Orange county pop-rock quartet Melee. Melee is more than just another one of those emo-punk-pop groups from California; these kids have some amazing talent, and it shows on each one of the songs on this great record. With perfectly polished rhythm, great [...]
the 31 best of 2007 - 8: Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion
Published by December 24th, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings and music suggestion. 0 CommentsPerhaps one of the catchiest records I have heard in many, many years, Mika’s debut album, Life in Cartoon Motionsolidified itself a spot on my top list right after my first listen. Mika is one of those artists that you listen to, and instantly recognize not only a great deal of talent, but you genuinely [...]
the 31 best of 2007 - 9: Aqualung - Memory Man
Published by December 23rd, 2007 in listen up!, mixed media, music musings and music suggestion. 0 CommentsI should start by saying that I had never heard of Aqualung before this year, and it was only when I was invited to a concert by some friends of mine, that I had even heard a mention of the group. I agreed to go because Sara Bareilles was opening for them, and I always [...]
