2012 Discoveries

Mike,

This is the kind of post I like to see because I love to find out what others are listening to and check it out. Too bad there have been so few responses so far.

Maybe my copy of the latest Stereophile is missing some pages but it has a grand total of ONE record review.

Lana del Rey -- Video Games

A voice and songs that will remain in your head (as will the vision of her). Don't believe all the garbage you read about her SNL performance. It was dreamy, like her music (and looks). I defy anyone to hear Video Games and not have it echoing in his/her head for days thereafter. In her case, all they hype is justified.

Bizango1,

That's very interesting! My latest copy of Stereophile (February) has a total of 59 record reviews. I'll just bet you that some audiophile in your neighborhood intercepted your magazine and ripped out this year's "Records To Die For" section beginning on Pg. 66!

First Aid Kit 'The Lions roar' - Some really sweet chick driven Americana, like this one a lot. I have their 2010 release, The Big Black & The Blue and although I do enjoy it, this new record is a major step forward. Highly recommended.

Neal - I have to agree, Lana del Rey is a sexy beast, wow. Don't have the record you mention, just a short self titled EP. After I read your post I did a quick video/pic Google, chick sure does have a look.

Amelia Curran sounds interesting. Listened to Hunter, Hunter which I think I will order. She is also new to me.
