Short and sharp, this ep doesn't overstay its welcome. It lacks most of what makes them such a great live band, and they've improved heaps since making this, so I'm looking forward to what they release next. (Time Mismanagement)
Benny Sings - Benny... At Home (42 mins)
Benny is one seriously smooth Dutch lounge-pop artist. I got this from RDU, just because of the amazing cover. Jaunty piano and drums, with a style FotC would kill for - a very enjoyable listen. (Blackberry St/I Can't Help Myself)
Dudley Benson - The Awakening (45 mins)
An astonishing album, full of beauty and honesty, and more pretentious/precocious than anything else I've heard. Rich instrumentation and vocals make this a stand-out. (Rapaki/I Don't Mind)
Belle & Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap (45 mins)
This is such an inviting album. The kind where you always hear something new each time you listen. Lovely stuff. (The Boy with the Arab Strap/Sleep the Clock Around)
Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress (48 mins)
A more glossy pop sound, but still very welcoming. Gogogo toe-tapping! (I'm a Cuckoo/Step Into My Office, Baby)
Black Market Art - Final Show (Live) (55 mins)
Damn. I miss BMA. I didn't see them at Camp this year, and now I'm feeling all sentimental. This recording is a bit iffy, distorted in a good way, with the vocals right down. (I Want To Die/that one about Emily)
Bonaparte - Too Much (47 mins)
The end of a very long day of study, I wasn't sure how this one would go. It sounded like a party, and made me feel pretty good. Some of the songs sounded really uninspired, but lots of fun overall (Who Took the Pill?/A-A-Ah)
Boy Eat All - 1 EP (8 mins)
This was made by my friend Jos. Really low fi bedroom electronic dance beats, with incredibly earnest lyrics. (The first track)
Brand New Math - Moustache Party EP (17 mins)
Rollicking wee ep, with the band throwing everything in to the mix, and trying their hand at various genres. Looking forward to a full length from them (Idiot Savant)
The Brunettes - Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks (37 mins)
Great pop album, from one of my favourite bands. The engineers must've had fun, thowing stuff around L/R. Super sweet tunes about all the fun things in life, c. 1950 (The Moon in June Stuff/Mafioso/End of the Runway)
The Brunettes - Mars Loves Venus (31 mins)
A near perfect pop album. Brunettes are in a class of their own on this album. (Polyester Meets Acetate/Your Heart Dies/You Beautiful Militant)
The Brunettes - When Ice Met Cream (16 mins)
More of the same, with more ballads, and more humour (Pink Ribbons/The Outsider)
The Brunettes - Structure and Cosmetics (38 mins)
Yeah, I'm a really big Brunettes fan. This is like a super polished indie-pop/Americana album. It's got its moments, but loses a bit of soul (Obligatory Road Song/Small Town Crew/B.A.B.Y)
