Music: July 2007 Archives

"The Underdog" by Spoon

Two songs in one day! I have fallen behind on my music posting, though...

This bouncy little number sounds a lot like Billy Joel to me, but the lyrics are weirder and I like the message, and the way the instruments go mad at the end.

The rest of the album is good too, although I think I may still like Gimme Fiction a little better...

"Big Wheel" by Tori Amos

|

I've always admired Tori Amos in theory, but have never really warmed to her... she just sometimes seemed too cloying, too precious, too practiced at being weird. However, I just got American Doll Posse, and while I was alarmed at the premise (the songs are sung by a collection of action figures? Wha?), I'm really, really enjoying the songs themselves. Her voice is strong, the music is too, and the weirdness is just about the right level. I particularly like this track (though I find the line referring to "M.I.L.F." a little jarring — boy, she may be aging well, but I don't think that line will...
