village voice music editor, nyu adjunct, accidental blogging pioneer. i like loud music and room-temperature seltzer, and my dream job is to be chief fact-checker of the internet.Hey i just got an amazon gift card and i wanna buy some of those $5 albums. i picked a few and wanted a suggestion.
If I had no existing music collection and $25 to spend on the current slate of $5 MP3 albums at Amazon’s digital store, I’d pick:
• Sleater-Kinney, The Woods
• LCD Soundsystem, Sound Of Silver
• Blondie, Parallel Lines
• Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, 100 Days 100 Nights
• David Bowie, Low
and if you have those already I’d try the new Spoon album. It’s good!
