If you follow my blog you will recognize this album from my top 10 list of 2009. Matt and Kim are a two piece band from Brooklyn NY who met at school in 2004. Since then they have released two albums "Matt and Kim" and "Grand". There is something to be said about a band who formed in 2004 not knowing how to play instruments and within a few years make the impact they have and continue to make. With only drums (Kim) and a keyboard (Matt) you just assume there is going to be catchy songs. Well your right everysong on the album is a catchy one. My favorite aspect of this album is Kim's ability to make her drum set her bitch by whaling on them throughout the whole album. Blink 182 bass player and singer Mark Hoppus is a large endorser of Matt and Kim. He put this album on his top albums of 2009 and this is one of the many things he said about the album "I love that it's kind of lo-fi, and shows they recorded it themselves. It's definitely not Dark Side of the Moon production. It sounds like two people having a great time recording in their apartment."

"By now, our expectations of the Clash might seem to have become inflated beyond any possibility of fulfillment. It's not simply that they're the greatest rock & roll band in the world–indeed, after years of watching too many superstars compromise, blow chances and sell out, being the greatest is just about synonymous with being the music's last hope. While the group itself resists such labels, they do tell you exactly how high the stakes are, and how urgent the need. The Clash got their start on the crest of what looked like a revolution, only to see the punk movement either smash up on its own violent momentum or be absorbed into the same corporate-rock machinery it had meant to destroy. Now, almost against their will, they're the only ones left"......Continue Reading
