Best of December 07 (I)

Stacey Kent - The Ice Hotel (Breakfast on the Morning Tram [2007])

This is a fun light song, on a solid album. It's good pop jazz.




1,000 Clowns - Greatest Rapper (Freelance Bubblehead [1998])

I missed this song when it came around 10 years ago. It's a fun song on a fun album.





The Channels - Masa Lalu (Channel [2007])

I can find nothing anywhere about these guys. I'm not even sure what language they are singing. But their album has a good rock/pop sound and I really like the sound of this song. I of course have no idea what the song is about, but that's not always so important. It's a good pop song and I like it.


Daniel Cirera - Motherf*cker-Fake Vegetarian Ex-Girlfriend (Honestly; I Love You *Cough* [2006])

I like this song even though I feel a bit too old to say so. This album is very odd. It is very folksy, but all the songs are a bit juvenile and fun. The guy is a good songwriter. All the songs have good hooks and his lyrics are fun and playful.
