Eschewing Obfuscation: Review: Lady Gaga: Born This Way [B]
http://mikeferdinando.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-lady-gaga-born-this-way-b.html
Mike Ferdinando's opinions on music and pop culture. Saturday, December 3, 2011. Review: Lady Gaga: Born This Way [B]. Album: Born This Way. Purchase date: 26 May 2011. I have to admit that I fell for Gaga's marketing ploy: for one week this album was available in mp3 format from Amazon for $0.99. What I was unprepared for was how much I really liked many of the tracks! So, a surprisingly enthusiastic recommendation for Lady Gaga's latest! Listen to the album on Spotify. Album listing at Amazon.

Eschewing Obfuscation: November 2011
http://mikeferdinando.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Mike Ferdinando's opinions on music and pop culture. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Review: Okkervil River: I Am Very Far [A-]. Album: I Am Very Far. Purchase Date: 11 May 2011. I'll start by saying that Okkervil River has been, consistently, one of my favorite bands of the past few years. The sixth release from this band from Austin breaks a bit from their usual style of producing tightly-written thematic albums that tell a sonic story. I Am Very Far. It's still one of the best albums of the year so far.
