The Roots - Things Fall Apart

review: The Roots are phenomenal, (cerebral) the most musically gifted hip-hop group, This record jives and grooves (uncompromising) like very few ever have, especially hip-hop ones. (smooth) "Things Fall Apart" could be a avant-garde (street-smart) jazz album, if the vocals were removed. (provocative) But MCs Black Thought and Malik B are like instruments themselves, (confident) deftly flowing along with the rest of the group while (Laid-Back/Mellow) displaying incredible lyric dexterity.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

review: They started out as a cartoonish (swaggering) satire of the stuffy music industry. As it turns out, (witty) the cartoon veil has allowed them to (trippy) searingly address global politics in (energetic) a way no live action band ever could.

Magnetic Fields - Realism

review: Distortion does have some good tracks on it that, (dreamy) I think I'll be listening to 4 a long time. (Sophisticated) I also (Maverick!) find it slightly less twee than some of 69... Three Way, Anyway, California Girls, Please Stop Dancing... wonderful tracks.

Clem Snide - The Meat of Life

review: Wal Mart Parking lot & BFF are (Precious) the stand out songs 4 me on this one. It's definitely an up and (Bittersweet) down sorta record, but, it makes some great background sound. (Intimate) It's mellower than other records of theirs as a whole, but, still delivers.

Tom Verlaine, "Songs and Other Things"

review: Album that replays repeated listening, (The Creative Side) some times irritating, (energetic) occasionally sloppy but never boring. (literate) A welcome return from near oblivion 4 one of (good-natured) musics few originals. And nice to hear Tom looking for new sounds, (playful) moving forward, away from Marquee Moon, and Foxhole and Words (rollicking) from the Front and Call Mr Lee and into the more thoughtful, (Quirky/Amiable) paced territory of a man in late middle age.
