January Band of the Month
We wanted to have this up by the end of January, but time got in the way.
Each month we will post our current favorite band for the present month (we are a few days off this month). It will be based on opinion. Strictly opinion and growth of said opinion. For Example, Radiohead are always held in high regard here at Musicolgynyc, so even though they were very active this month and In Rainbows is still playing away like crazy, it will be very difficult for them to win a band of the month award because it would nearly impossible for us to love them anymore than we do.
Anyway, that probably doesn't make any sense at all.
Regardless, some of the contenders this month were: Magnetic Fields (released a fantastic new album), Vampire Weekend (who have "blown up" even bigger over the last few days), MGMT, and of course Radiohead, among others.
With so many candidates we are proud to announce for January '08 this prestigious award goes to San Francisco's, the Dodos.
The reason we picked the Dodos is simple. They went from relatively unheard of around here to on heavy, heavy rotation.
Congratulations to the Dodos.

Kicking an Streaming: Magnetic Fields - Distortion
The new Magnetic Fields album, Distortion is available January 18, 2008 on Nonesuch. The album will most likely find it's way onto many top 10 lists for '08. It is now streaming at their myspace. The record has been well received and we here at Musicology are receiving it in that manner as well. Honestly, I was a tad sceptical about the heavy Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy vibe that the album was rumored to have, but after a few listens, I conclude this is one of Stephin Merritt's best records.
