Interpol – Turn On the Bright Lights: Tenth Anniversary Edition (Matador)

I understand why Interpol’s considered a joke today. Even back in 2002 I understood why they were a joke. Everyone wants to be Joy Division, but nobody has ever wanted to be Interpol. The tragedy is that 99 per cent of the people who laugh at Interpol have a lot more in common with Interpol than they ever will with Joy Division.

Scott Creney’s Favorite Albums of 2012

This is what it feels like to be alive in 2012 — connected to everything and more isolated than ever.

The Babies – Our House On The Hill (Woodsist)

It’s a shame about the Babies. Come on feel the Babie-heads.

The Opposite of Work

If you’re going to break a rule try to make sure you did a good job at it. Nothing is sacred but everything matters.

Holly Herndon – Movement (RVNG Intl.)

Movement is an auditory feast. It’s no Bob Dylan but then John Lennon was no Kraftwerk, you know what I mean?

 Scott Creney

Clinic – Free Reign (Domino)

Like The Fall, Clinic is always different/always the same. You know what you’re going to get but you don’t know how you’re going to get it.

The Audacity of Barry Manilow

The first line alone contains two historically volcanic eruptions of bragging. Not even Kanye has the ego to say he’s been alive forever, let alone that he wrote the very first goddamn song

Talk Normal – Sunshine (Joyful Noise)

Five hundred years ago Talk Normal would have been burned as witches for this act of prophecy.

Rusted Root – The Movement (Shanachie)

Consider the evidence. The sound of college radio is Rusted Root.

A.R. Kane – The Complete Singles Collection (One Little Indian)

The missing link between Robert Wyatt and Disco Inferno, A. R. Kane sounded equally at home in the club as in the bedroom, under the stars and in the studio.
