Totally Covered: December 2013
http://totally-covered.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 31 December 2013 - HAIM and Lorde - Strong Enough. For a 2013 VH1 Special, HAIM did a cover of Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough". At about the 1:30 mark, their "good friend" Lorde and a gigantic jacket join them for the song. Try to get past Lorde's gigantic coat for a minute and listen to the harmonies between her and the ladies of HAIM. It's absolutely astounding how well they work together, and I think more collaborations are necessary. Monday, December 30, 2013. I have only ci...

Tony's Friendly Observations: December 2014
http://socialtony.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
My 2014 "The Hell With It! I Get To Make A List, Too! Look, I know a lot of you don't come over the this blog much. I don't post here much. You probably are coming here because you saw a link over on Wicked Guilty Pleasures. My lovely music blog. But I do a list like this. Most years. And sometimes, I second-guess myself. Actually, to open this year's list, I'm going to second guess last year's second guess. Album of the Year, 2013 Edition. Lorde, Pure Heroine. By Charli XCX, Pure Heroine. Which is a fin...

Tony's Friendly Observations: January 2014
http://socialtony.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
My Year-End List Edit, or, I've Decided I Was Wrong About My Album of the Year Choice. This is what I said, exactly:. Album of The Year. Charli XCX, True Romance. Every single song can stand alone - and several have as singles - but the sum of all the parts - a dark pop gem that teeters between love and heartbreak - is so much greater. There's a lot of great promise here, and since her 2nd album drops in June, I think we will see it coming in 2014. Album of The Year, Runner Up. Why I Didn't Declare A Tie.

My 2013 The Hell With It, I Get To Make A List, Too List. Well, here it is. I decided I'd make a list this year. These are a few of my favorite things from this year. It's going to be mostly music, as usual - I do co-write two music blogs ( Wicked Guilty Pleasures. So it makes sense - but we'll pepper other stuff in. Album of The Year. Charli XCX, True Romance. And until December, that choice wasn't even close, until I heard. Album of The Year, Runner Up. Sky Ferreira, Night Time, My Time. RAC, "Let Go" ...

As many of you know, this is not my only blog. I have a little blog that is dedicated to musical Wicked Guilty Pleasures. The greatest song ever written about curling, to coincide with the end of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. I continued to play - I lost, but I wasn't going to let my fall be the reason why....
