The Brandi Carlisle album is exactly the kind of thing that deserves multiple Grammy nominations (IMO) — terrific songwriting, remarkable performances (I love her singing), excellent production... all in a very “accessible”/“popular” (in the best possibly sense) style.

yeah when I reviewed it for the 'Fork I got more positive email than anything I've written in years. I didn't think anyone still did that sort of thing, until I realized 35+ men and women are more likely to write emails.

this is a good album but kind of suffers from no one covering this kind of music anymore unless it's by a designated name like snail mail or whoever

The Amanda Shires album is one I can see myself returning to over time; glad it's getting some recognition.

Viagra Boys' satire on masculinity is great, and confused reactions add a bonus layer of entertainment!
Was my mention of McCraven last month enigmatic or just overlooked?

It's not groundbreaking but I can listen to the chorus of "All the Stars" all day, I also like Kendrick when he's not trying too hard to rip the mike, and the video deserves a mention (where is he again ? SA ? Kenya ?). For me it's the right kind of epic that goes into my playlist, when so many other songs in those lists sound dull or pompous to me (something like Geyser for example). But I know nothing, I'm not building a track list for this year (not that I ever do).
