mmmmmm

Got Discovery's album 'LP' on vinyl.
Great quality

I Must Be Crazy

For some reason it's taken me THIS long to listen to the amazing band
'Thao with the Get Down, Stay Down.'

Not only is the name of their band great, but their music really is great.
So catchy and fun.
Listen to them when you get the chance. (ASAP!)

giving in

I just got twitter but only to follow my favourite musicians and their wacky comments

Owen Pallett and of Montreal

follow them!

Black Kids-Hurricane Jane
Okkervil River-A Hand To Take Hold Of The Scene
Panic!At The Disco-Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
fu.-All The Pretty Girls
She and Him-In The Sun

very random, i know...but all very good.

p.s. She and Him Volume 2 coming out late march!!!! im excited

yay

Had a Sonic Boom morning.

Contra (Vampire Weekend) on vinyl is the best sound I have ever heard (a bit exgerrated.)
But seriously, it is great.

Also, I finally own Heartland (Owen Pallett).
Sweet.

Concerts

Just received my tix for Owen Pallett (april 8) and I'm crazy excited.
I have no idea how I'm gonna last til then.

AND, now I'm also going to the Carole King/James Taylor concert coming in May.
WHAT THE F*CK!?

made my day

MUSE just posted their new video for their song 'Resistance.'
No way to explain it other then 'it's pure MUSE.'

The band Air also released a new strange video.
Air being strange? That never happens...

Plus, The Knife are going to release something soon?
Who the f*ck knows!
Theyre always up to something...

Now that Contra and Heartland are out, I;m counting down the days til Congratulations, MGMT's upcoming album...get excited

aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It's January 12th!

Not only is Contra out today, but so is Owen Pallett's Heartland.

Also, check out catla's new album, and OK GO's new album.
(I've heard the catla one, not the OK GO one but i doubt its bad)

Also, music I've been into lately: St. Vincent

P.S. Check out the Coachella Festival list. I died. I wanna go. I died.

exciting week in the world of new music

First, Animal Collective released their video for 'Brothersport,' the last song off of Merriweather Post Pavillion. The video is crazy (just like them), fun (just like them) and a piant explosion (they DO love paint.) The video is around 6 and a half minutes, but if you have the time, sit down and watch it. It really IS fun.

Second, januray 12th (tuesday) is the official release date of Contra, Vampire Weekend's second album. I can barely wait.

Third, january 12th (tuesday...man this sounds repetetive) is the official release date of Heartland, Final Fantasy's (Owen Pallett) new album. I can barely wait.

Contra Review

So, I was going to do a song-by-song review but I'm sooo tired and I really don't want to.
This will sum it up though.

If an album could have a taste, Contra would be sweet, milky, creamy, and just very chocolatey.
I don't think an album has actually made me feel so warm before.
Actually, let me re-phrase that.
I don't think an album has been used mas my comfort food before.
Yes.
I've been using it as a comfort food.
That should tell you what this album is like.

Contra...so f*cking good

I check Spin's website every day, and when I checked it today I almost fell off my chair when I saw the latest Vampire Weekend news.

They decided to stream their whole sophomore album, Contra, on their myspace (myspace.com/vampireweekend) a week before it's supposed to be released (january 12).

I obviously had to give it a listen, and like I already stated, it's so f*cking good.
It sounds alot like their previous album, but Ezra got even more wittier, and the sound is more Carribeanne as opposed to African sounding.
It's a great album, and I'm definitely buying it (maybe on vinyl...hmmmm.)

I advise everyone to give it a listen.
And if you like it, please BUY the album, do not be cheap.

a few days ago i was reading the decade edition of rolling stone magazine
i never read rolling stone, because they went so downhill so fast and landed in a pool of mainstream sh*t and pop culture, and boiled in there until it was nice and disney star-ish and full of megan fox and taylor lautner covers.
but i digress.
their decade edition was FINE. they did cover some of the top stars of the decade which was really good, but still, like usual, managed to f*ck up their list of the top albums of the year.
and so, i will never understand how rolling stone magazine went so downhill so fast.
