Lady Gaga: Born This Way
Ke$ha: We R Who We R
The Saturdays: Higher
The shrill telly soundtrack to getting the girls dressed before I had my shower. Junior 1 was complaining her school socks didn’t match, Junior 2 was turning the house upside down looking for her glasses and Junior 3 was throwing all the books down the stairs.

Ghostface Killah: Supreme Clientele
It’s Wu-Tang Week on Jukebox Junior FM. This album is of course immense and crisp sounds work well in the shiny new enormous meeja office.

David Bowie: Station To Station
Twitter reveals the Esquire office is arguing about the best Bowie album. I don’t know the answer, but this is the last one I bought; that 3-CD deluxe reissue. Beautiful stuff, here on Thin White Jukebox Junior.
More ear balm as it happens.

You like Ghostface!!! Hurrah, there is hope for you yet. I trust you’ve heard The Pretty Toney Album – his best bar none.
Oh, and I got that Station to Station box too. Smart, isn’t it?
To my SHAME, I’ve not heard the Pretty Toney album. I’m a Ghostface dilettante.
Love the StS box set – even the live stuff is worthwhile, which isn’t always the case. And it’s all so smart and touchy-feely.
