It was the year 2001 and [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag] were just making their debut into the indie mainstream with their own lovely Take-Offs and Landings. One of the stand out track was “Wires and Waves,” a heartbreaking now conventional Rilo Kiley anthem, that was also picked for a music video as well. But when you film a video with planes and sing lines like “sometimes planes they smash up in the sky,” right after the 9/11…
The string of inconsistent releases, leave their mark, this week as well, with the usual end of the year mediocre Hip-Hop releases and here and there compilations. Worth mentioning are [tag]Mary J. Blige[/tag], [tag]Lupe Fiasco[/tag] or [tag]Chingy[/tag], each with a new album out this week.
