Fear of Pop

So, if you've been looking for new music out on the internets, there sure is plenty.

I went to Sweden a couple years ago and I woke up to the fact that tons of English-language music is performed or influenced by Scandinavian artists and producers. Annie is a new Norwegian pop singer with a thin airy voice and well-crafted songs that are both cheery and melancholy. The album is called Anniemal, and the downloadable track is My Heartbeat (mp3). I've downloaded some other tracks, and I think I might shell out for the album. It's pretty good, and other people think so too.

Yes, it's pure pop. I think pop has its place, and I just can't listen to rock and roll all the time. C'mon, a few pop hooks now and then...


I've been getting my new music tips lately from Salon.com's audiofile. Check it out.

UPDATE: Annie is coming to San Francisco! Who wants to go? July 1st.
