My Week in Jukebox (w/e 25/09/09)
Well, two weeks in one as they were both a little shorter on me than normal.
Miss Li - Dancing All the Way Home [8]
Mini Viva - Left My Heart in Tokyo [7]
Robbie Williams - Bodies [4]
Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man [8]
Los Campesinos! - The Sea is a Good Place to Think of the Future [8]
"I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate". "To the left side and the right side, either way is a crazy golf course". Yep, still totally quotable as ever. This is straightforwardly emotional (and gorgeous!), though, in a way that they only skirted round on last year's albums, distanced by irony and uncertainty. There's nothing uncertain about the way that the guitars that have been swelling finally crash over the chorus here, a glorious moment of catharsis.
Leona Lewis - Happy [5]
Nneka – Heartbeat (Chase & Status Remix) [8]
Hockey - Song Away [4] (Ok, my mark is a little generous. Not sure what came over me.)

13.9.09
My week in Jukebox (w/e 11/09/09)
Quite a high scoring week for me, this.
Owl City - Fireflies [2]
Jay Reatard - It Ain't Gonna Save Me [6]
Morandi - Colors [6]
Jesse McCartney ft. T-Pain – Body Language (Remix) [7]
VV Brown - Game Over [8]
Just as full of big, cartoonishly dramatic hooks and metaphors as last time out, and just as energetic and entertaining with it. Probably even better than "Shark in the Water", though, for carving out more of a non-Bedingfield identity of her own too.
Biffy Clyro - That Golden Rule [9]
3OH!3 - Starstrukk [3]
The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition [6]

31.7.09
My week in Jukebox (w/e 31/07/09)
Gaggle - Crows [5]
Jessica Jarrell - Armageddon [8]
Muse – United States of Eurasia (Collateral Damage) [3]
Matt & Kim - Daylight [3]
Chrisette Michele – Blame It On Me [8]
Gloriana - Wild at Heart [8]
Lily Allen - 22 [6]
It's Not Me, It's You is a frustrating album for its wild extremes of quality, from the divine "The Fear" to the unlistenably dire "Fuck You". As much as that, though, it suffers from too much stuff like "22" - sweet and accomplished pop with some of Allen's better serious lyrics that nonetheless doesn't achieve anything that The Bird and The Bee don't do better.
Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone [4]
