In the last days I've (re)discovered some great albums:
Intelligent, carefree 1990s "punk" getting all referencey. (Heck, they're even posing like The Clash.)
Before the Cpt. Kurtz horror of their next album, Pulp in their prime deliver "high pop" with poetic lyrics and masterful instrumentation.
The first three tracks on this Elvis Costello album revive the nasty, nasty Velvet Underground spirit in 1986. They will listen to this as classic music 500 years from now.
I'm not sure but the new M.I.A. album sounds like she could become the new-millenium heiress of the Clash/VU legacy.
