Radiomatic-Ce Soir Après Dîner, Nous Passerons Des Disques
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Look at that! Lots and lots of keepers! Know why? Because this is a great album!
My absolute favorite from 2008 (and 2009 and 2010 so far).
First heard “Jolie Frimousse” on an Oh-la-la – Franco à Gogo podcast (which you MUST check out, by the way) and became an instant fan.
Guaranteed that you’ll love them too.

Yma Sumac-Legend of the Jivaro
Friday, December 4th, 2009
OK… this is really good. You’re not going to believe me, and I’m probably going to sound incredibly naive but this has got to be one of the undiscovered gems of the 50′s.
Imagine a throatier than usual Shakira decided to go back in time and work with the “Eskimo” period Residents and you can get some idea of what this sounds like. Sumac has a huge vocal range, and most of the other stuff I’ve heard by her is what I’d consider novelty-lounge mambo, but not this – she whoops and yelps (and sings) her way through most of this album like some proto-Diamanda Galas diva, and I can’t help but love it. How many albums from 1957 can you put on and have people say “What the hell is this?”
“Legend of the Jivaro” might very well have been a calculated effort to sell records, or maybe to try to add some bona-fides to Sumac’s own legend, but who cares. It’s a strange and powerful record from a time when commercial artists didn’t take these kind of chances… Patti Page it ain’t.

The Very Best of Freddie and the Dreamers
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
I really like a couple of their songs, but Freddie and the Dreamers always gave me the willies and I’m not giving them their own category, which isn’t fair but can’t be helped. Years later Right Said Fred would have a similar effect on me. Come to think of it, Fred Schneider is a first-rate willie-giver… I sense a trend here.
