You'll Be a Better Person If...you buy Cut Copy's "In Ghost Colours"

Cut Copy's new album "In Ghost Colours" dropped on Tuesday. So go get it. Like Now. It's beyond fantastic. It's the perfect music for getting ready to go out while chi-ing your hair and adding so many products that you're nearly combustible. Yes it's that good.
BTW: It's only 6.99 @ iTunes.
Go show the Aussie boys some support.
Even if they are sadiddy Easterners.



"Far Away" is one of my fave tracks.
It's just got one of those brilliant choruses that begs to be used (read:abused) in the trailer of a mediocre rom-com.
Don't Forget: Their first album was stellar too. Especially the track "Saturdays" which has a bit of "Digital Love" in it reminding me of the fabulous Juliette Lewis GAP ad. Oh hell I love that ad so much I'll just post/marry it.

Kylie "X" Why?

So Pop Justice's second take on Kylie's X inspired me to give my two cents CDN with a track by track analysis...1-2 Hearts-At first I hated it. Now I just hate it less.
2-Like a Drug-NO
3-In My Arms-I absolutely hate the chorus! That being said I think the main beat is brilliant. Which is quite the paradox since the premise of a Pop Song is a catchy chorus. So unless Kylie is going post-modern on me I'm going to have to just say "No" to this song. Or at least wait for a killer remix.
4-Speakerphone sounds exactly like Britney's Piece of Me. But what Brit had going for her was the self awareness of the lyrics not the boring as eff beat.
5-Sensitized- This track is actually excellent. It recalls the Kate Bush track Jig of Life off of Hounds of Love album because of it's synth-jig. Which in my book is always a good thing unless you're Imogen Heap.
6-Heart Beat Rock- Kylie doing her best MIA impression or is it Boomkat gone right?
7-The One- Not bad. Not Great.
8-No More Rain- I live in Vancouver so this is basically my mantra but this song just blows.
9-All I See- This song should have gone to Cassie of Me & You fame because it is much too R&B for our girl Kylie to handle effectively. Not to say that Kylie can't handle her Trip-Hop a la Body Language (which was Aces).
10-Stars- Stellar beat.
11-WOW-This song is brilliant! As is the performance of it on The Kylie Show. The best track off X.


12-Nu-di-ty-I swear this song was stolen off of Britney's Blackout rejects. Some brilliant Mashup Maestro must put Nu-di-ty against Brit's Get Naked! I can hear the sweet melodious sounds in my ear already.
13-Cosmic-NO
14-Magnetic Electric- Catchy Euro Pop Bubblegum. There definitely should have been more of these on the album.

The "Didn't make the album but should've" award goes to: Lose Control
It's an Excellent Euro-Pop Song. Which Kylie could've used more of on this album.
