This compilation has something for everyone. I keep listening to “Passenger” by Brazos, and I keep thinking something happened to Ben Folds’ ability to write lyrics. They’re just not that inspiring. But most of the tracks are pretty good.
Lucky Dragons’ “To Lilly at Age 15 20 25” is much better than Martina McBride’s “This One’s for the Girls.” You know, she sings little secret messages to women of different ages. I’d much rather listen to Lucky Dragons. It’s got great synths that blend in the background and do what danceable music should do: repeat. I am sure Lilly is going to be just fine.
The Wingdale Community Singers sing in multipart harmony and really sound like a community of singers. Perhaps when the folk singer/songwriter takes a break in December at the farmers market these guys can take her place, singing Christmas carols or holiday songs or whatever they’re called these days.
The Muslims have nothing to do with Barack Obama, natch, but “Inside Job” reminds me of a calmed down Billy Idol with keyboards in the background. I would totally dance with myself if this song were playing. It’s just so damn catchy.
