1: Beatles’ Revolver (1966)
by Paige on June 28, 2010
I’m a Beatles girl, I guess. And I’m one of those Beatles girls that doesn’t grow tired of the songs she loves. Sure, White is incredible, and yeah, there’s a lot of incredible stuff out there that the Fab Four (…)
2: Radiohead’s Kid A (2000)
by Paige on June 17, 2010
I have such an undeniable affection for the oldies, the songs that create the platform and landscape for current listening, that it sometimes clouds my relationship with new music. It’s not any sort of revolutionary statement to declare modern music (…)
3: Pavement’s Wowee Zowee (1995)
by Paige on June 7, 2010
It’s no secret that I’m a Pavement nerd. Shit, this blog is named after one of my favorite songs. Wowee Zowee, however, might not be the popular choice for the best of the bunch. Regardless, WZ has become not only (…)
4: Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk (1979)
by Paige on June 2, 2010
Here’s another record that usually divides a room. Even folks who really love Fleetwood Mac in a non-ironic just-the-hits kind of way don’t always see eye to eye on Tusk. For me, the magic of that band has always lied (…)
5: George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass (1970)
by Paige on May 25, 2010
I wrote this about George a while back, after watching some Dick Cavett DVDs: Watching him talk to Dick Cavett has brought me to the verge of tears more than once, and not because he’s said anything particularly emotive, not (…)
6: New Order’s Power, Corruption and Lies (1983)
by Paige on May 24, 2010
What can I say about this record? It’s been in my pretty elastic top 10 list for years, and I never grow weary of it. “Blue Monday” aside, this record mastered the genre, emerged from the Joy Division shadow, and (…)
7: Gastr Del Sol’s Camoufleur (1998)
by Paige on May 21, 2010
I’m a huge Jim O’Rourke nerd. I love all of his stuff, from the noise to the ethereal to the Bacharach covers. He’s got such a palpable essence to his work — you can always tell when he’s had a (…)
8: Red House Painters’ Ocean Beach (1995)
by Paige on May 19, 2010
Though there aren’t that many Red House Painters albums, the man behind the project, Mark Kozelek, has produced tons of amazing music over the years. Red House Painters was the first iteration of his work (he went on to do (…)
9: Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden (1988)
by Paige on May 18, 2010
Spirit of Eden is another record that completely snuck up on me. I’d heard bits and pieces by the band, but never really delved into the good stuff until a couple of good friends pointed me there (thank you Aaron (…)
10: David Bowie’s Low (1977)
by Paige on May 14, 2010
I was never too into Ziggy and the majority of Bowie’s late 60’s-early 70’s stuff, but from Low right on up to Let’s Dance (or thereabouts), I’m smitten. If you know me, you know I really love stuff that is (…)
