bLISTerd Presents: Gonzo's Top 11 Albums of 2011

bLISTerd Presents: Gonzo’s Top 11 Albums of 2011

I’m not going to get too detailed in my blurbs here. Partially due to time, and partially because I hope to make more in depth annotations for my annual mix on my own dormant blog later this week. But here are 11 artists/albums/tracks that I very much think are worth checking out from this year: 11. M83, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming I was nervous about M83 doing a double album – it seemed excessive. And it is excessive. None of the […]

Spin Cycle: The Black Keys' "El Camino"

Spin Cycle: The Black Keys’ “El Camino”

The Black Keys follow up their breakthrough, “Brothers”, with a new album called “El Camino.” Does this album reaffirm Dan & Patrick’s superstar status?

bLISTerd Extra: Dr. Gonzo’s Top 8 of ’11!

8. Puro Instinct-Headbangers in Ecstasy Sisters Piper and Skylar Kaplan present an album of dreamy pop landscapes not unlike their pal Ariel Pink’s last album Before Today.  In fact, one of the album’s strongest cuts is “Stillyagi,” which features Mr. Pink.  The airy and hazy music may not be ground enough to be palatable for some listeners, but I think it’s a lovely album – one that’s particularly good for late spins when you’re pulling an all-nighter. 7. Raphael Saadiq-Stone Rollin’ […]

Spin Cycle: Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s “Rome”

I suppose that in a perfect world, producer/musician/all-around auteur Brian Burton—you know him as Danger Mouse, folks, or at least you should—would come to define the true sound of the past decade. In a sense, he kinda has: as one-half of Gnarls Barkley, his “Crazy” has become synonymous with the sort of insidious, viral, ubiquitous gross-genre smash that Outkast perfected a year prior with “Hey Ya!”, something so off-beat and yet so catchy that it couldn’t help but catch fire, […]

New Release Report 5/17/11: The Calm Before Storm GaGa

In the event that you’ve been living underneath a very big rock for the past several months, Lady GaGa’s Born This Way is scheduled to drop on May 23rd. Now that you know what NEXT week’s column is gonna be all about, let’s take a look at some of the albums that are coming out this week. We’ll start with Moby . Destroyed has gotten some pretty savage reviews already, but I like the bit I’ve heard thus far, so I’ll […]

Danger Mouse & U2??: Yes, Please!!!

Did you like “No Line on the Horizon”? I wasn’t too crazy about it. “Horizon” marked one of the few times I’ve ever been disappointed by a U2 album. I mean, it wasn’t horrible, but it certainly wasn’t as good as the two studio albums that preceded it, and it certainly didn’t receive the sycophantic fawning-over that it got from the Rolling Stone folks. I’d imagine the public mostly agreed with my line of thinking, seeing as the album made […]

Danger Mouse + James Mercer=Musical Heaven?

Where Brian Burton goes, I will follow. He successfully mashed up two of my favorite artists on “The Grey Album”. He produced one of the best albums in Beck Hansen’s career full of great albums. He joined forces with Cee-Lo to create Gnarls Barkley, the most commercially successful project in the career of the artist who set the black weirdo blueprint for Andre Benjamin. Let’s not forget about Dangerdoom. Now, the man more commonly known as Danger Mouse has teamed […]
