[Rockin' Cherub]

[smashingjj]

not really

[Rockin' Cherub]

yeah i don't know, they're compared to the yeah yeah yeah's a lot and i don't like their name and the way they look

but sean casey and redbull seem to think they're great

[Rockin' Cherub]

i know i should simply listen to them but bandwidth is so precious to me

[smashingjj]

[aurel]

Hey have you guys heard of band called The Black Summer Crush?? They remind me the Beatles with more of an edgy 70’s feel, kinda like Jimi Hendrix and The Who. I wanna know more info on shows and cds!! Any Pumpkin lovers also BSC fans out there??

its not anywhere near as good as their first one.

uhh the new devotchka is good

[Shapan]

yeah, really like the new devotchka. the new breeders and beach house albums are good too.

the new clinic and atlas sound albums feel very underwhelming after a listen, maybe they'll grow on me. i think clinic's best days are just too far behind them.

this makes me sad. i thought he was going somewhere new after elephant eyelash, but on alopecia the quality of his songwriting and recordings stayed at a standstill, if they didn't backtrack

[celluloid_love]

i don't think that's what he meant really

why is just embarassing shit

they suck.

[Rockin' Cherub]

i like the thao nguyen album. black mountain is neither great nor shitty. the keyboards kind of suck most of the time though. they're like a lamer comets on fire to me.

[Mayfuck]

NSB's Laurie Bird is the clear #1 album for me right now. No toher great albums this year so far but i like

High Places
Breeders
El Guincho
Becah House
Prurient
el perro del mar
fuck buttons
fredo viola
van hunt
atlas sound
valet
sebastian tellier
evangelista
times new viking
depreciation guild

and i might be coming around on that neon neon album.

[Mayfuck]

forgot about that chris clark. that one's real good.

[Rockin' Cherub]

are you already hating women as lovers

i don't get what's so great about beach house

[smashingjj]

it's not great but enjoyable

[Mayfuck]

yeah i never said that album was great. and maybe forgot xiu xiu cause i love them so much that i dont even consider them with other bands anymore. like xiu xiu is a part of my family now.

[Shapan]

devotions is just so easy going and atmospheric

ive never been one to ask you for recommendations julio but what does the laurie bird sound like

[mistle]

these threads are not for me. i can never remember what i've heard or when it's from

first track is a 40 minute drone fest so i doubt you'd like it. its very ambient lots of indistinguishable instruments that gradually bubble to the forefront coalescing into noise toward the end. otherh two tracks i admit aven't listened to in their entirety but more of the same, a bit more noisy.

[D.]

The only stuff I super like from this year so far is the Vampire Weekend album, Helio Sequence, Nada Surf, Duke Spirit, British Sea Power, and Teenagers

i like the following (in varying degrees) enough to not delete:
Autechre- Quaristice
Balmorhea- River Arms
Beach House - Devotion
Blood On the Wall - Liferz
Cadence Weapon - Afterparty Babies
Clinic - Do It!
Earth- The Bees Made Honey In the Lions Skull
Flogging Molly - Float
Hello, Blue Roses- The Portrait Is Finished, and I Have Failed To Capture Your Beauty
Hinterland - Pan Pan Medico
Kill Hannah - Hope For the Hopeless
Magnetic Fields - Distortion
Malcolm Middleton - Sleight of Heart
Mars Volta - Bedlam In Goliath
Sleep Station - The Pride of Chester James
Taken By Cars - Endings of a New Kind
Unisex- Stratosfear

[redbull]

the new Mae Shi album is rather excellent
