The Honey and the Vinegar

Here’s my take on some of the top records of 2008, a bit late I know!

TV on the Radio’s new record, Dear Science topped many a critic’s list at the end of last year and I have to agree. My favorite track after many a listen remains the first on the record, Halfway Home.

On the other hand, I borrowed a copy of Fleet Foxes’ self-titled debut to see what all the fuss was about. I hate this record. I couldn’t even give it a few listens through. I never thought harmonies would be so grating, but this is just not my thing.

Lately the iPod has been wandering back to the old favorites. --J
