The Ninety-Third Day.

Micachu & the Shapes. I am so very excited to load the album "Jewellery" onto my iPod, when I can. Though I have yet to love the whole album, I have contracted a sever addiction to "Gold Phone" and "Vulture"
Though I'm sure the short snippets do no justice to the whole tracks on the album, and I'm looking forward to contracting the same addiction to the whole album. I was afraid Jewellery was only going to hold one single I was excited about. Singles from 2009 is this weeks playlist by the way.

Here's some Micachu, also check out her video with Bob on NPR on live concerts from All Songs Concidered

The Ninety-First Day.

Two Suns
I just got the album, and was sad to find it much to easy to talk over. In fact it was almost awkward to not talk over. Maybe I need to spend some alone time with it, but I guess I much more of a sucker of semi-pop songs that I can catch a lyric here or there to sing too. Bat for Lashes sings so personally that I'd feel intrusive singing with her, or at least they allude something to personal. Also being a lyrically biased listener, I'm slightly unimpressed. They simply seem to be just statements without any word to sound mastery or attempt.

If you feel the same disappointment, here's some noise music from Boo and Boo Too (Boo happens to be my childhood nickname, so that's a double plus for this band)
