We’re bringing back our Writer and Reader Top 5ives for the of the best releases of the year. I’ll be profiling a new reader and writer each day over the next several weeks to see what their best tracks of ‘08 were. If you want your Top Five releases to appear on the site, enter your submissions here.


1.) ALBUM: Ready For The Weekend by Calvin Harris
Calvin Harris makes the ultimate dance/break-up album. Smashing it, track after track. Pure pathos filled fun.

2.) Album: Wolfgang Amadeus by Phoenix
Such depth and fun in this album–it boils, it simmers, it sizzles.

3.) Song: Little Boots – New In Town (Fred Falke Remix)
Falke takes a luke-warm track and makes it electric. Dude straight saves little boots’ New in Town, basically he’s Captain-Save-A-Mediocre-Track.

4.) Song: The Birds by Telefon Tel Aviv
Just listen to it.

Profile: I'm a writer first, music lover (a close) second. From GA originally, but I've lived in DC for the past 5yrs. Soon, I'll be moonlighting as a med student in b/w writing, interviewing, etc. I've been blogging since 2005, but recently started a new blog, The Prose of a Rhythm Scribe --an account of how music/sound enter one's life and stays or leaves. Additionally, I pen music reviews for The Glass House. I'm looking forward to adding to the already lively discussions here and starting a few fires of my own. For music interests, check out my podcast, The StereoType Demos. Tastes aside, I love music that makes me think, feel, converse, "percolate,"--FEEL ALIVE. If music were a book, it'd be all inked up, b/c that's how I listen to it, with a loving but critical ear. Stay tuned for music, reviews, interviews, and soliloquies. I do this more than anything b/c I love exchanging ideas, so I can't wait to hear feedback from all of you on my view from "The Couch."

    I agree with most of these selections (even the ones I hadn’t heard before). I find most of Little Boots to be mediocre, but there have been some phenomenal remixes made of her stuff.

    Amazing selections. That Fred Falke Remix of Little Boots is DOPE! And I’m glad I found someone who shares my enthusiasm for Calvin Harris lol.

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band

5/5

This joint right here is real sexy-like.  Your body will automatically go into autopilot:  your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed).  The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
