Waxwings

You're all encouraged to love the album Low to the Ground by the Waxwings. You like your melodic jangle, right? Finally The Poobah Forwards The Pop.

The Denzil, The Ben Folds

So here are two albums that make my top 10 list of ALL TIME. That means that I LOVE them.

The Denzil album is probably the one I've turned the most people on to (I'm pretty sure I've posted it here before). It is just the best: melodies, amazing lyrics, great production, and tons of fun for Anglophiles (Jay). EVERY track is awesome, but standouts include 'Fat Loose Fancies Me', 'Useless', 'Funnymoon', 'Cutie', and.......well every single one.

I'm also a big Ben Folds fan, especially his solo stuff. It's all been good, but his solo debut is his most consistent. Pardon me if I'm preaching to the choir, but if you haven't given it a chance, listen to this one two or three times in a row. I DARE you to find a love song as beautiful as 'The Luckiest'.
