Speaking with extreme objectivity, I only can conclude that the girl at bottom right is particularly good.

Happy Birthday, Eartha Kitt
Eartha Kitt would have been 86 years old today. Above, she sings I Want to Be Evil, in a video that has one odd camera angle after another. Here is more on the sultry singer.

The Best of the Less
Cliff Chenfeld, who is a Co-CEO of Razor & Tie and Kidz Bop and a contributor to Huffington Post, offers a list of almost 50 pieces of music – the term “album” seems more and more antiquated — that he liked this year.
The tips are good, I’m sure. This part of his intro is particularly interesting:
There is an amazing amount of good music being made now, probably more than ever. However, I wish more great music was released. The turbulence of the music business has led to fewer opportunities for major mainstream success and has caused artists to focus on maintaining a loyal on-line audience. There are a number of incredibly talented artists who are probably reluctant to write for a broader audience because of fear of alienating their loyal fan base. We could use more ambitious artists who want to make powerful, memorable music for the larger public.
In a way, this echoes the rationale behind this site (though I tend to deal with older material): The way music is distributed today leads to fewer serendipitous accidents in which folks stumble upon music they love. Indeed, the list itself is a case in point: I doubt that many people would recognize more than a handful of the artists Chenfeld mentions.

Go Dinosaurs!
Two old timers who have similar voices – which really isn’t a compliment to either – both have new albums, and both are getting good reviews.
Mark Knopfler’s Privateering and Bob Dylan’s Tempest are being lauded by critics, including those from The Associated Press. The AP writes that Knopfler’s album is “a moody and entrancing musical travelogue spread over two discs” while Dylan’s Tempest is “is one of the best discs you’ll hear by anyone this year, at any age.”
