About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

Animal Collective - My Girls

Album: Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective is a band from Baltimore. Their 8th album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, was placed on numerous magazines’ best album of the year. They sound a bit like MGMT, except less accessible. It’s a decent song, but I was more mesmerized by their album cover. Take a look at one corner of the album and move your eye to the other corner. This cover art is based on Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a famous psychologist from Japan who specializes in visual perception. Check out his rotating snakes. It’s amazing!
