TV on the Radio– Dear Science- I was a fan, but ambivalent about this album, but saw them at the Brooklyn Masonic Hall and was blown away and haven't stopped listening to Dear Science ever since!
Gnarls Barkley– The Odd Couple- this record delivered on the promise of St. Elsewhere. The" Going On " video can only show you the way the rest is up to you.
J*Davey The Land of the Lost: This is a pleasure that continues to unfold layer after layer…
Kenna– Make Sure They see My Face: Kenna's record stayed on repeat for months…
Subtle (Oakland Ca) these guys are awesome and their TV on the Radio affiliation has to be why Tunde started rapping! Check this out!
