This week’s album of the week is French band, Phoenix’s album Wolfgang Amedeus Phoenix. When I saw them nominated for a Grammy, i was like who? Then I saw them listed on a couple top 2009 album lists, by people whom I respect their musical tastes, so I gave them a listen.
It’s a fun album, I’ve been listening to it non-stop for the last couple of days. For me most of the album sounds like what an amazing day during the summer feels like, if that makes sense. Take a listen, it feels good. I’m glad they got a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album. Even though sadly getting a Grammy nod this year isn’t saying much, it seem like a pop happy teenager made the picks. Remember when getting a Grammy was a barometer for greatness? …apparently we have no more music award shows that will set the standard. I hope Oscar doesn’t jump off the same cliff…
