Albums From MDM That Won't Die

Albums from MDM2013 that won’t die for me:

• Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Acorn that Drops From the Tree or Whatever the Name Is
• Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

FA seemed too raw for repeated listening, but I keep going back to it.

TA seemed puerile in sentiment.  Aaaaand it still does, but apparently that’s not a problem.

Another that I keep playing: Matthew E. White - Big Inner.  I don’t list it with the others because I’m not surprised that I keep playing it, because I liked it and knew I liked it on first listen.

Wha' Happen?

Are you out there, Dave?

The Walkmen - Lisbon vs. The National - Trouble Will Find Me

VS.
Okay, so I just put up like five or six match-ups to make up for lost time.  So, you know, go ahead and vote for them in any order whenever you like in the next couple weeks.  Then, it's just a few more, faster rounds, and we'll be done--it's time to do this people.

Megafaun - Megafaun vs. Alice Clark - Alice Clark

vs.

Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site vs. Phosphorescent - Muchacho

vs.

Constantines - Constantines vs. Cat Power - Sun

vs.

Four Tet - There is Love in You vs. Sloan - The Double Cross

VS.

Sorry all, I gotta a little busy there.  But we're still going!  You can punish me by voting against Sloan, which is fine cause this round is win/win - lose/lose if you know what I mean.

Cibo Matto - Viva! La Woman vs. Congos - Heart of the Congos

VS.

Well, this will give us all the opportunity to pull out some sunny music in the middle of February.  I'm going to go ahead and predict a Congos victory here (prove me wrong children), especially because Cibo Matto's biggest fan seems to be AWOL.  I did notice, though, that they just released a new album, which is kind of weird.  Get your votes in quick folks.
