All the music geeks live at Pitchforkapolis. The music geekdom powerhouse has unleashed it’s Top 50 Albums of 2007, and its quite a list. The praise it’s received is kind of intimidating, but really, P4K wouldn’t be P4K if it wasn’t intimidating, right? I plan on dissecting a few other big dog lists, so why [...]

30. Beyonce & Shakira - Beautiful Liar (YSI)
When you pin two pop-divas together, the result usually lands between “oh god make it [...]

A Mashup A Day Will Keep The Doctor Away

This one goes to Luke, a fellow Party Ben fan. Party Ben lives, loves, DJs, and “bastardizes” in San Fran, and everywhere else he feels like.

This really does sum it up, “This gave me pause when I first heard it. I had to look up the lyrics to make sure I hearing correctly. It is simply amazing!

Last Listen 2007: Best Albums (#26-23)

26. White Stripes - Icky Thump 83Although Icky Thump is heartbeats away from being the Stripes’ best work, its exciting, its loud, its eccentric, and most of the time its insane, all the while being positively compelling, which is why the White Stripes are one of the best bands of our time.

25. Alicia Keys [...]
