heh. not this time.

not because the bon iver record isn't a huge deal for the store, just because the last few midnight sales haven't gone great.

Balls.

the one dude i talked to with the collared shirt was a huge fag though.

This has been an AstralAdvent presentation

6/21/2011 2:05:18 PM

this buddy holly thing is pretty awesome, but lou reed is kinda painful to listen to like i figured he would be.

6/21/2011 7:38:44 PM

haha apparently jack white and karen elson got divorced and threw a party to celebrate their marriage on june 10

hahahha, awesome

6/21/2011 11:17:31 PM

new arctic monkeys is pretty weak

6/22/2011 8:32:58 AM

^ agree but it's not any worse than their last one

6/22/2011 8:35:49 AM

every time i see that bon iver picture

i think

6/22/2011 4:04:32 PM

i always thought the love for discovery was really misplaced. i hated that album when it came out. pretty much dismissed it as over-love for vocoding/autotuning.

6/22/2011 5:21:38 PM

this might have already been discussed but i am really slow and only get new music when i get ultra distracted and go on like 3 hour what.cd downloading binges

BUT

i really like this wu lyf go tell fire to the mountain

it is really strange. but awesomely strange. i have been listening to it all day.

also on my need to listen list: new cults and gang gang dance and fucked up

i saw cults got rated pretty high on pfork. the thing is (and i haven't listened yet) i just didn't really see them having that much staying power or making a radical record or even a unique record. but maybe i am just stupid.

^Those Cults songs are pretty damned catchy and have the tendency to get stuck in your head all day. That's most of its appeal.

I like the Gang Gang Dance album.

I just listened to a Wu Lyf song earlier. According to their myspace page, they love them some SVE...

6/23/2011 1:01:27 PM

as everybody should...

6/23/2011 1:03:00 PM

^^ yea i thought go outside and most wanted from last summer were pretty catchy

the new ones to me are catchy but don't have as much "get stuck in your head" staying power for me. but that is just me. they're def catchy but more forgettable for me. *shrug*

6/23/2011 1:06:39 PM

Haven't listened yet (downloading now), but I absolutely love the album title Go Tell Fire to the Mountain.

6/23/2011 2:14:56 PM

i really like L Y F. cave song. we bros. heavy pop.

i like the whole thing really.

6/23/2011 2:23:46 PM

I'll have to check this out. I may just blindly buy it somewhere, I dunno. But honestly, I thought the one song I listened to; the vocals were kinda obnoxious...

6/23/2011 2:49:23 PM

How is the band name pronounced? Anybody know? Is it pronounced "woo life" or is it an acronym where you pronounce all the letters?

6/23/2011 3:30:29 PM

World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation

lol

6/23/2011 3:32:00 PM

oh lord

worst acronym band name since Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All Don't Give A Fuck

[Edited on June 23, 2011 at 3:40 PM. Reason : s]

6/23/2011 3:39:23 PM

yeah, its pretty terrible

6/23/2011 3:45:59 PM

good music, though, digging it on first spin. i could see thinking that the guy's voice is kind of obnoxious, but i think it'll grow on me. his voice kinda reminds me of the lead singer from man man.

6/23/2011 3:49:48 PM

this could be old news, but it appears as if the new gillian welch has leaked

6/23/2011 5:36:59 PM

I saw Man Man a couple months back. The show was pretty awesome.

6/23/2011 5:39:53 PM

When do all the Moog-laden emo bands from 1996 get to play at Moogfest?

6/23/2011 6:02:15 PM

can't really get into WU LYF at all.

6/23/2011 9:34:36 PM

really dig Wu Lyf

favorite recommendation I've got from this thread in awhile

think the vocals are bitchin'

6/23/2011 11:06:57 PM

kinda late to the cults and dale earnhardt jr jr parties, but i'm diggin both of those right now

6/23/2011 11:54:27 PM

Downloading woo life now. Will report back later, know y'alls are holding yo breafs.

6/24/2011 12:24:23 AM

wu lyf is ok. I wouldn't pay money for it though.

6/24/2011 3:38:40 AM

I'm thinking that this whole Ford/Lopatin, Oneotrix Point Never (what even is that?) gang are a bunch of hacks. I don't like either of these things, really.

6/24/2011 10:15:49 AM

really like the Wu Lyf album. been waiting for something like that to come out for a while. remind me of some combination of Man Man, Wolf Parade, and maybe the Animal Collective album Feels.

good review of Mount Moriah on Pitchfork today

new Pictureplane leaked... didn't do much for me on first listen.

6/24/2011 1:04:13 PM

if you are into garagey, woodsist stuff, check out white fence.

6/24/2011 7:19:46 PM

Can't really make out a single word of this wu lyf shit, but i'm enjoying it

6/26/2011 1:28:49 AM

gave WU LYF some more play this weekend and it's definitely growing on me. the vocals are a little goofy at times (see "we bros"), but the instrumentation/arrangements are very solid throughout.

6/26/2011 8:54:24 AM

Still trying to get into WU LYF after 3 listens...but can't.

Found 3 new tracks from the upcoming newest Weeknd mixtape...and his old EP that's 5 songs (that I'd be shocked if they weren't on his upcoming).

6/26/2011 9:02:34 PM

i feel like such a jerk that i have to confess to the music thread.

i pirated rolling papers a few months ago and didn't make it much farther than black and yellow, but gave it another try tonight and the second half of this album is totally sweet. i'm so sorry, wiz khalifa.

6/27/2011 5:13:53 AM

new Gillian Welch album is available to stream for free on npr.org/music

6/27/2011 8:43:12 AM

thoughts on the bjork single?

6/27/2011 9:42:12 AM

I enjoyed it

6/27/2011 9:44:29 AM

me too.

the drop in the last minute was pretty unexpected and nice.

i've only barely read about it, but it'll be interesting to see how her concept of the album is handled/executed.

6/27/2011 9:50:46 AM

I gave WU LYF one more shot. I really like the instrumentals, but can't get past the vocals.

6/27/2011 1:04:20 PM

can't wait for this

6/28/2011 1:15:17 PM

^Nor can I. That teaser sounds pretty good. Supposedly it's a double album, which concerns me a little bit, but I trust that dude and I'm sure it'll have some killer songs.

6/28/2011 2:51:02 PM

is there any room on the wu lyf train? shit is good.

6/28/2011 6:31:18 PM

Foster the People's debut is enjoyable. On first listen it sounded a little generic, but it's grown on me a little. Good pop record.

6/28/2011 6:51:21 PM

^heh

my gf heard them on npr a week or two ago and was like "hey yo ps you should download that foster the people. sounds up your alley"

and i did

and never listened to it.

giving it a shot now.

6/29/2011 10:41:20 AM

generic indeed.

6/29/2011 11:24:54 AM

thanks to siriusxm i was burnt out on pumped up kicks before the record even dropped. and now it's finally starting to spread to mass radio and it's happening all over again. a few of the other tracks on the record are pretty enjoyable though.
