Lily Allen It's Not Me, It's You Capitol Records By Leila Regan-Porter Lily Allen is one of England's favorite crazy birds.

Pierce PettisThat Kind of LoveCompass Records by Al Kaufman Pierce Pettis came out of that '80s folk movement that brought us the likes of Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman and Bill Morrissey.

Oh the joys of having a band that is so hard to describe. But we'll try. Lord T & Eloise mix Vienna's classical style with the hip-hop crunk of Memphis. Yup that's what we said. Basically they've time travelled to present day to save rap music with their rhymes about being rich – the old, […]
