This week, I hang out with @lilyvanilli and she plays some of her new favorite songs. I play a few songs I've been into. Artists include Robyn, iamamiwhoami, Yelle, Laura Cantrell, X Priest X, Charli XCX, The Secret Sisters, Contact, Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison, Neko Case, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes and Grouper. Sort of in that order. Enjoy!

How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?

Another late year discovery for me is The Secret Sisters' self titled debut album. I don't really know a lot about country music, but these girls seem old school, to me. It sounds genuine, earnest and timeless. Short and sweet, the album clocks in at just under half an hour. And while the album may have been recorded in the past year or two, it's heart seems to be at least four or five decades old.

A lot of these songs are covers, from what I've read, and you can hear the love and respect for the material. They don't try to outdo anyone with overwrought histrionics, the not-so-secret Rogers sisters (Laura and Lydia) inhabit the songs and create their own space within them. I love their voices and harmonies, they totally transport me to somewhere else. I'm looking forward to hearing more from these lovely ladies.
