Love this record. It's interesting. Something that you can't say about every new record that comes across my desk. The CD title pretty much describes it. Give it a couple of listens and soak it all in.

Meg Mathur says:

I'm listening to the new Coldplay CD. Very cool. It's kinda like a concept album but not in a serious, self-serving kind of way. It's pure fun.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND

Early fav for my top discs of 2008. Smart indie pop with a high dose of happiness. You'll notice the drumming with its African pop flavours. It's refreshing, uplifting & very easy to listen to - so much so you can spin it all day long. Think Paul Simon's Graceland mixed with The Strokes Is This It? Worthy pick-up.

One of my favourite records from 2005. Sad Eyes, Winter in the Hamptons, It's the Nighttime and My Love Has Gone to name just a few of the outstanding tracks on this disc. The happy melodies attempt to hide the sadness of the lyrics. A delicate balance that adapts to the mood of the listener. Great record.

Sure it's been out as a download for weeks and there was a one of hype about this being an industry changing release, but really it all comes down to the music and there is a lot here for even a casual Radiohead fan to enjoy.

Great first novel from a Canadian author. Burn descriptions are not for the queasy, but the journeys of two very interesting characters will keep the interest level high. A possible Giller nominee?
