Slippers - "Slippers 08" LP [KLP314/PRNL66] Slippers mastermind Madeline BB’s new record is a masterpiece. Like if you painted the beatles with a rattle can and wax pencil. Powerhouse of pop, this Karen Carpenter incarnate is fresh off Slippers last record entitled “Do You Like Slippers?” More aptly it should have been “Do You Like Pop Music?” Because if the answer is no to either then what are we even doing here? If you aren't humming this after two listens are you even alive? Dancing in the Street. 11 songs. 33RPM.
