My Top Albums of the Decade (2010s) - Part 2

Image
Hello again - I hope you're enjoying this list. Or rather, I'm pretty ambivalent, because to quote Jenny and Johnny (RIP) - I'm having fun now.  I will start with the same sort of preamble as before: I am not writing this as a definitive guide, this is the list of albums I found most influential/noteworthy of the past decade. It's one person's opinion, so please don't swear by this. And if you disagree with me, I encourage you to write your own list instead of arguing with me, because you probably aren't changing my mind.  But for real, the last decade before the Earth melts into some Bisquick mix shit was full of good music. I can tell I am getting old because I am REALLY starting to abhor top 40 music (with the exception of Shawn Mendes, that kid is talented. Oh yes, and DNCE, which I realize now dates me a smidge. O.o)  48.) "When the Night" - St. Lucia  It's hard for me to conjure up a debut album by an indie pop act this decad...

"Elevate"- St. Lucia

Song of the Day St. Lucia's debut album, "When the Night," came out yesterday. I can't wait to hear it- they/him are, by far. my favorite musical discovery of 2013 (in what has been a shitty, sad, soul-crushing year).

It's happened. I'm old; I don't know new music from my butt anymore.  my BUTT? On instagram?!?! However, I have made myself actively seek out new music lately to enrich my life.  Here is the band St. Lucia, South Africa via Brooklyn. I like their music. It reminds me of The Naked and the Famous + Crystal Fighters + Vampire Weekend. I might have an interview with them soon... KEEP READING FOR DETAILS. Have you ever heard of the band Polica? Bon Iver is a fan. Really, to me they just sound like a more intense Cat Power.  They will be playing at the Rhythm Room tomorrow in Phoenix. So go forth, Phoenicians!  Lastly, have you HEARD the new Tori y Moi? I've never been a fan of his, but damn. Check this song out, "Harm in Change": On a Bringing the Sexy Scale of:   0 to don't look this band in the eyes!!!!  10 I'd give it an 8.3.  brb, need to pick up LifeAlert
