No Ordinary Fool

Who in the music community did not get the memo when it came to their “albums of the year” lists”? Thalia Zedeck produced a corker and it has been hopelessly overlooked by many in the view of this ignoble and dastardly site! Anyway, when we are not otherwise occupied by taking food from the hands of starving orphans or abandoning dotty old ladies midway across busy roads, we do like to occasionally right the odd wrong. So get busy listening to Liars and Prayers if you have missed out on it so far!

In other news, Scotland’s Sons & Daughters produced a somewhat overproduced but generally likeable album in The Gift, while old stagers Stereolab and Stephen Malkmus were also on hand with solid offerings. They may be of less familiarity to you, but be sure to give Sylvie, Tall Firs, and Tim Gilbertson a listen also, if you generally enjoy the music that we write about. Indeed, all you need do is follow the yellow-brick link!
