The 3rd Elvis Costello & The Attractions album Get Happy is 40 years old today! Punchy and energetic short songs, among his best work, heavily influenced by soul, such as released by the Motown and Stax labels. Very emotive LP. |

The 2001 debut album by Brooklyn dance-punk band Liars, They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top, is certainly a curious beast! A collection of punk-funk rock closing with a 30-minute monotonous and puzzling affair. liarsliarsliars.com |

The 1972 Todd Rundgren double-LP Something/Anything? revealed Rundgren’s prowess as a songwriter, musician, vocalist and producer. The album is pop-music at its best, with a twist of studio magic. Includes the single Hello It’s Me. |
