It was supposed to come out in May 2008 and I was anxiously awaiting it, but she ended up getting dropped from her label and other sorts of limbo.  <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Don%27t_Stop_(Annie_album)\">Long story short<\/a>, it wasn&#8217;t until now that I was able to listen to it.  My first impression was that there were a few great dance-pop hits, but much like her debut, a lot of the album sounded like fillers.  But after repeated listens, I have warmed to it.  A lot of the tracks have wicked beat machines and a couple remind me of the beats in Rez.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><object width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kO31tfvbMmk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kO31tfvbMmk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p>It looks like she only has one single\/video so far, and it&#8217;s not her best imo (although has some of those neat beats).  I like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SiSaJFnJiMw\">My Love is Better<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EKwxiC_pi2k\">Loco<\/a> more.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Dragonette &#8211; Fixin To Thrill<\/b><br \/>\nCompared to Annie, this album is a step down.  I gave this album a try because I liked their single <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=14BsjAqv-Vc\">Pick Up The Phone<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Julian Casablancas &#8211; Phrazes for the Young<\/b><br \/>\nI was severely disappointed by this album.  I&#8217;ve listened to the solo albums for each member of the Strokes, and they all suck! I thought Casablancas&#8217; would have promise because he is the main songwriter for the Strokes, but this album sucks too! I guess the band is truly more than the sum of its parts.  Either that or they had great producers.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Promo Only from December, January and March<\/b><br \/>\nMy usual radio replacement.  December had a lot of good songs, basically half of them were hits on the radio.  January, not so much.  And March only notable song was Ke$ha&#8217;s <i>Blah Blah Blah<\/i>!\n<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the latest CDs that I\u2019ve been spinning on my daily commute: A Camp &#8211; A Camp This is A Camp&#8216;s self-titled debut which I wanted to listen to after being so impressed with their second album.
