The month of June has given me 3 new albums of some of my favorite artists. Weezer, Alanis Morissette, and Coldplay. Basically, they're all 90's bands...I mean my first brush with Coldplay was "Parachutes" while I was in London in 2000 so it was right on the brink, but regardless I'm happy that these artist's are still relevant now in 2008.

Let's start with Weezer. Rivers Cuomo deals the shit out on the "Red Album" with the
Greatest Man that Ever Lived." I mean that song is just the best on the album.
Alanis. After breaking up her engagement with that hot piece of completely hot piece of hot, Ryan Reynolds...everyone was expecting hate filled lyrics similar to her epic
Jagged Little Pill (my high school anthem). The thing that excited me the most about
Flavors of Entanglement was that Alanis worked with Guy Sigsworth. Guy is the mastermind behind Frou Frou...Imogen Heap's band and that song from
Garden State I think everyone knows that one... "Let Go". Anyway, he's a genius and the minute I found out he was working with Alanis on her new album, I was crossing off the days like Christmas. My faves:
Incomplete,
Giggling Again for No Reason.

Chris Martin -Coldplay. Just downloaded this on iTunes today. The first single, Viva La Vida blew me away with the commercial they had on iTunes. I've been following the progress of this album for a while and know that they've said it will be the album that defines their career. A bit lofty...but definitely raised my eyebrow.
I read on that fat bitch Perez Hilton's site that the album sucked and I BEG TO DIFFER. I melted on the beginning of each track. It really is indeed - in my opinion - Coldplay's best. Short & Sweet but completely and utterly lovely.
