In this installment of the Little Lighthouse, we review albums that took #30-#14 positions on my list. Although, it should be said that the list is that of a moment, and not a result of a very careful deliberation. Enjoy the music! Top 13 next week.

We start today with two albums full of good pop tunes (each in its own way) from the last year’s production, that somehow fell through the cracks. We know both performers well, Lisa Mychols from the early episodes of The Little Lighthouse and Bad Moves from the more recent episodes. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have a new single, The Schramms are back together with the new record. Those Pretty Wrongs have a new single out, and so does Sheer Mag. Over in Yugolands, we check out Autopark with a cover of a legendary Boye song. Replacements are preparing a new repackaging of Don’t Tell A Soul and we check out one of the tunes from it.
