Well you can't win all the time. Today's Music That Jason Couldn't Stomach is Alright, Still by Lily Allen. I didn't care for this album at all - Lily Allen seems to be a British Hilary Duff. Maybe that's not the right comparison, but I don't keep up with my self-infatuated teenage girl media stars, and couldn't tell you which one has the current most popular album full of songs about 1) how great their relationship(s) is, and 2) how awful their relationship(s) is. Anyhow, this album seems full of self-important jingling fluff; if it were water you would be hard-pressed to drown yourself in it. I'm sure it is/was terribly popular among adolescent Myspace-using girls recently, but it's probably a little late for me to fit into that demographic. I know Lily Allen is 21 years old or something close to that, but when you have someone like Zach Condon of Beirut making such incredible music at a similar age, it's hard to accept Lily's disposable pop songs when there isn't much in the way of voice or instrumental talent behind them.

I got some decent albums from the library yesterday, more reviews forthcoming. I know I've been blogging less lately but hopefully I can rebound in January.
