1. CRIME IN STEREO
The Troubled Stateside
MP3 | MYSPACE

It’s been a while since I’ve heard an album that has made me want to detach from American landscape and find a way to cope with a suburban nightmare. While most bands within the melodic hardcore genre seems to showcase some self-important elitism over the […]

Begin’s Top Ten

Sunday, January 7th, 2007 < author: hsd >

1. Joanna Newsom
Ys
MP3 | Myspace

One of the songs that struck me the most off of Joanna Newsom’s previous album Milk-Eyed Mender, was the song Sadie. One line in particular always stayed with me, “This is an old song, these are old blues. This is not my tune, but it’s mine to use.” This […]

George Booker’s Top Ten

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007 < author: g booker >

1. BASEMENT JAXX
CRAZY ITCH RADIO
MP3 | MySpace

In a perfect world, this is what top 40 pop radio should sound like. It can be difficult to take something with so many bells and whistles, goofy noises and silly British people shouting seriously. Basement Jaxx, however, have perfected maximal pop fusion (there are elements of […]

Part of that growing was finding a new job (here at Relative Theory) which has been fantastic. In my musical wanderings throughout the year these are a few albums that […]
