“She’s So Scandolous” by Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears This, however, is a reflection of OVRLD’s year so far: If you know of a song that we have overlooked, please send it to us or include it in the comments. The big caveat here is, of course, that we have not heard everything.
And once you’ve appreciated our cleverness, look below for the semi-annual awards for Songs That Have Made Our Year So Far. We’ve tried to chronicle it all here at OVRLD, and at this midway point in the year, we are taking a moment to reflect on all of the glory of our local musicians.įor those of you who missed our first installment in the 9 Bands series, you should look here for an explanation of why we have chosen that as a designation. There’s even been room for up-and-comers like James and the Douchebags and La Snacks. Fortunately, I think the local Austin scene has been even more vibrant, with great albums from the likes of the Great Nostalgic and the Midgetmen, and fantastic EPs from stalwarts like the Boxing Lesson and No Mas Bodas. The indie scene has witnessed a great first album from James Blake, a great second album from Cut Copy, and great fiftieth albums from the Decemberists and Death Cab for Cutie.
The national scene has seen the surprising emergence of Adele as a superstar, the reaffirmation of Lady Gaga, and the inevitable ascendence of Nicki Minaj. It’s been an interesting year so far for music.
