They screened bits and pieces here in Australia, and he was the pick of the bunch. Seems like a genuine talent, much unlike some of the other "man of the moment" finalists who fizzle after their first single. It's interesting that commercial backing will only get you so far.
It's also interesting that a guy like David Cook gets a guernsey before somebody says "Pink Floyd", "Guns n Roses" or "Eric Clapton"
We've also been selling a lot of Weezer's new album of late, in at our CD store. I really like it. Possibly one of my favourites this year.
In terms of this year's best releases, here's my half-yearly roundup:
Counting Crows- Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings
Elvis Costello- Momofuku (after the inventor of the cup-o-noodles)
Death Cab For Cutie- Narrow Stairs
Eels- Meet the Eels/Useless Trinkets
Eef Barzelay- Lose Big
Weezer- Weezer (Red Album)
Jason Mraz- We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
City and Color- Bring Me Your Love
Sarah Bareilles- Little Voice
This is all subject to change pending the new releases of (notably) John Mayer and Ben Folds in the coming months.
