Ra Ra Riot - Is It Too Much
alex on January 11 2013
A personal favorite returns with a new album - Beta Love. After spending some time with this album I can say it leaves me wanting something. Their previous album "The Orchard" was one of my favorites from 2010 so obviously I hold them at a pretty high standard. Perhaps losing their incredibly sexy cellist Alexandra Lawn plays a pretty big part in this. After all.. their previous music was driven by symphonic strings which have all been replaced by synths in this current release.
With that said.. I'll leave you with a picture of Alexandra Lawn -because I can.
Foxygen - Shuggie

Foxygen... what could possibly go wrong? Awesome name, awesome band, even awesomer (who's 3 years old? me.) album. I've had about 4 solid listens to this album and have to say it's pretty rock solid - jammy psychedelic groovy rock at it's finest. A couple of their tracks have a knack for switching up the tempo on you.. One might say the tempo is a bit temperamental. I'm just gonna go ahead and coin the term tempomental. If I owned a Japanese restaurant I would serve a crazy dish known as the tempuramental.

My first post of 2013... To ring in the new year my body decided to give me a new sickness I've never experienced before -- pneumonia. So if you've ever wondered what it feels like to have a spiked metal bowling ball in your lungs feel free to email me and we can discuss the matter in further detail.
