"meaningful" picture

guys, it is imperative that you download this.

OSAKA LOOP LINE --- DISCOVERY.
this remastered version is giving orange shirt a run for its money as "the most awesome thing ever." really crisp synth, nice clear vocals, best use of autotune since ever...

on the subject, i wrote a review of this for pma, here.

NEW PASSION PIT

MOTH'S WINGS --- PASSION PIT

glorious and triumphant synth. this guy's voice is one of my new favorites. enjoy it

MALUCA

this girl knows what she's doing, i think
LISTEN TO "EL TIGERASO"

I'M WALKIN PAST UR HOUSE

i think this picture has a lot of meaning

listen guys, blog world just found out about discovery thanks to this illuminating stereogum post. i hope you guys are respecting the fact that if you read this blog you have been onto discovery since JUNE.

YOU ARE WELCOME.

anyway, said post has mastered copies of the two killer songs discovery has recorded, and wes miles' twitter is giving me some hope for the future.

lazy? okay.
ORANGE SHIRT --- DISCOVERY

ALL HANDS AND THE COOK

as some of you might know, my friend anthony and i went to see the walkmen last thursday, april 16. they were incredible. in the middle of their set they played one song that blew me away, and i just figured out what it was and want to share it with you because it will blow your mind too:

ALL HANDS AND THE COOK --- THE WALKMEN

in the end of this song, hamilton held one "note" (by which i mean he just yelled one word) for at least thirty seconds. it was insane. all of us in the audience were screaming and cheering expecting him to stop, but he just did not stop.

if you are not convinced, youtube does more justice than i ever could with words.

GUESS WHAT I DID

i saw vampire weekend again, at columbia this time! it was beautiful out. i got there as they were starting cape cod kwassa kwassa and i walked by this young woman dancing with a little girl, singing to her "would this feel so unnatural to peter gabriel too!?" unfortunately i missed white sky, and they didn't play any new stuff, but it was such a glorious day out and everyone was so happy and ezra dedicated a-punk to asher roth and everything just skittered on the breeze and there was this great echo on the vocals in i stand corrected and all was very, very well.

I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CANNOT TAKE THIS PRETTY GOOD ALBUM TITLE SERIOUSLY

i live in a small town in westchester, new york. you have not heard the word "bittie" and thought of a young lady in ugg boots and abercrombie, with a pink razr, wearing leggings as pants, unless you come from here too.
the dirty projectors are a band from brooklyn and they have a new album coming out soon called "bitte orca." it looks like this:


the lead single off it is
STILLNESS IS THE MOVE --- DIRTY PROJECTORS.
i've been listening to an NPR sxsw recording of it all weekend, and i just finally got the recorded version! IT. IS. AWESOME. amber coffman sounds like an mtv-style pop diva wailing arpeggios over talking heads-ish guitar. listen to it RIGHT NOW.

i think that "bitte orca" is a good album title. local slang is unfortunate. whenever i think about it i think "bittie orca."
