...oddball-pop with such power that it isn't too far-fetched to imagine these whirling, prancing slugfests as fist-pumpers in a decidedly more fey universe The focal point of their lean, jittery vibrations is one Hayden Thorpe, a vocalist with an astonishing range matched perhaps only by the defiance with which he delivers such operatics....

...oddball of sorts, stringing together free-associative, non-sequitur lyrics against chord progressions and time signatures that, as is his wont, refuse to adhere to accepted norms Much of it's rather catchy (if not hummable), though, with a whimsical sense of fun that makes it impossible to dismiss as pretentious artsiness Richie Unterberger,...

...oddball people. At the end of the day we are so much about the community idea and love, we are closer in nature to punks and hippies in terms of our community - everyone band together, everyone support each others shit, everyone make your own art Amanda Palmer Photo by: Scott Irvine I write constantly and then I sort of grab batches of...

But perhaps no other nominee on this list did more to up its rep and cred this past year than Strawberry Fields. And, yes, they store can thank the DIY shows it used to host for that fact Bill's Records Sure,...

...oddball emcee and producer. But barely a mumble has been heard in the U.S. press about the forthcoming stateside release. No singles, no hype, little anticipation. Promotional material is no doubt limited to a tight circulation of college/community radio stations and friendly independent media. Im curious if crossover success is even a...

...oddball of a folk album that comes across as rustically dreamy with lo-fi production and an array of weird found sounds Opening track Terrible Angels is a wandering folk song with just an acoustic guitar gently played with the sisters singing in harmony, though maybe disharmony would be the better term, though with the found farmyard sounds...

...oddball costumes; but utterly lacking in gravitas and depth. And did I mention that she doesn't even really exist? 'Congratulations,' Iceland's maligned entry into Eurovision , isn't much more than a little girl singing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' in front of the closet mirror with a Magic Mike, so OF COURSE it's kinda great. Less interesting...
