Sooo..... you might have noticed I didn't do something last month. Well... things were kinda busy at the time, being up in Illinois and all. But never fear! You still get the same amount of music on the shortlist.... just doubled.... for two months.... so sit down this one's gonna be a bit.

2. the Louis XIV song's been around for a while, first on the Illegal Tender EP, then All the Best Secrets Are Kept LP. Still a good song.
3. MCR...despite what people might say, they make good records. I wouldn't say amazing, but solid. I wasn't particularly with the story (but then again I'm not big on concept albums), but the songs were good. Haven't found one I like as much as "Thank You For the Venom", but "Dead!" is a good track. When I first heard "Welcome to The Black Parade", I immediately thought "that's MCR doing a bad impression of Queen". When MCR acts like MCR, they're good. And, believe it or not, they do a good show.
4.John Legend? Nice.
5. You know, I was having a discussion with one of my indietastic friends from back home, and we were discussing our favorite albums of the year. Mine was TV on the Radio-Return to Cookie Mountain, she went with Thom Yorke-The Eraser. I gave her a listof the albums I liked that I thought were really good, and I forgot one-Gnarls Barkley-St. Elsewhere. That was a non sequitur, sorry about that.
