So Jealous: SOOOO AWESOME
 I likes me some good tunes. That much is true.
If you, too, like you some good tunes, go get the new Tegan & Sara album, So Jealous. What? What's that you say? You don't know who Tegan & Sara are? Well, don't feel bad. Lots of people don't. But some do now. And some are even fellow Canadians. I must say, I am one of those people who suffers great ambivalence when it comes time for a release of a new album from one of my favorite artists. I become giddy with anticipation for that fateful first listen of a cd. But at the same time, I dread it--especially if the last album the artist released was exceptional. I have this same problem when attending concerts. I am always afraid that the cd or show prior will have been better; that somehow the new material or show won't hold up and won't be as good. So far, I have not been even close to disappointed. Let's review: The Cure--The Cure: An AWESOME album, in typical Robert Smith fashion. "I can't find myself..." Melissa Etheridge--Lucky: Some of her best work in a LONG time Garrison Starr--Airstreams & Satellites: If I say anything else about G*Starr on this site, Zam will kill me and we will have to change the title to "Garrison Starr Composes" (but, she is AMAZING--as is this album) Tori Amos--Scarlet's Walk: "Taxi Ride" could be one of my favorite Tori songs ever. Indigo Girls--All That We Let In: A wonderful album--I still cannot stop listening to "Tether" Alanis Morrisette--So-Called Chaos: What a great freakin' album. "Knees of My Bees?" Love. It. LOVEIT. Rufus Wainwright--Want One: Talk about a song--"Oh What a World" is absolute genius. Ravel. Rufus. Together. It's a "10." (Ok, that's a minus 15 points for the bad "Bolero" joke.) You get the idea here? Which brings me to Tegan & Sara. The Calgary Wonder Twins. These 2 chicks are insanely talented. And their music kicks ass. I thought their last album, If It Was You, was brilliant. The new album, So Jealous, is totally living up to the tough act it has to follow. After only one full day of listening, there are already three songs emerging as the heavily favored: 1. Where Does the Good Go 2. I Know I Know I Know 3. I Won't Be Left It's the classic Tegan & Sara style--harmonious blending vocals and often rugged overlapping acoustic guitar. It's so beautifully terrific. And, so, in honor of this amazing album, I give you my favorite track: Tegan & Sara -- Where Does the Good Go [The good has now gone. Sorry.] Get it while you can. And if you like it, go buy their albums. Nuttin' better than a pair of lyrically and musically gifted lesbian identical twins from Canada, I always say. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:42:00 PM |
