Listening to the new Sufjan Stevens now. Liking what I hear so far, but it is definitely different.

10/4/2010 8:54:35 AM

^ yeh, i definitely like it, although i could do without the autotuned portions on tracks 6 and 11.

I'm seeing sufjan at the tabernacle in atlanta in october, and i'll be interested to see how (if) he plays material from his last three albums with this new album.

True.

No Big Deal is catchy as fuck, though.

10/4/2010 3:34:44 PM

New Antony and Johnsons is Zzzzzz.... I really loved the last two records, but this one isn't doing it for me.

10/4/2010 3:48:07 PM

halcyon digest is such a personal album. right on the level of microcastle musically, but a notch higher lyrically. bradford cox continues to amaze me.

10/4/2010 8:14:16 PM

Helicopter is definitely one of the best songs of the year

almost as good as Gimme Pizza

10/4/2010 8:23:54 PM

trampled by turtles- Palomino

10/4/2010 8:24:07 PM

so, this Kings of Leon album really falls off on the 2nd half. just like all their others.

10/4/2010 8:41:50 PM

^You're right, but in the wrong frame. They've fallen off for the second half of their career.

10/4/2010 9:02:39 PM

haha, i dont know that I can argue that. but on their last few albums, the first 5 songs have been good, and, well shitty after that.

10/4/2010 9:10:21 PM

Woah...Four Tet remixes The xx's "VCR," and it's as perfect as it sounds.

^^ i got pretty burnt out on KoL around the time radio stations decided to play them like every other song for a month.... but i disagree.

the last 2 albums have a couple stinkers towards the end (the runner, trunk, i want you) but also has some great songs (ragoo, notion, arizona)

10/5/2010 12:01:28 PM

Finally getting around to hearing the new Sufjan album. I'm enjoying it thus far, but it is quite different.



Oh and i must add that I am kind of smitten with this new Belle & Sebastian album, and yes I did just say smitten

10/5/2010 4:27:03 PM

new Avey Tare is gonna be sweeeeeeeeeet

i don't like Oliver Twist but i love Lucky 1 so far

10/6/2010 8:40:38 AM

Might not be 2010 or "new" but its recent songs that have been playing on my itunes/youtube accounts


check em out


Rill Rill - Sleigh Bells
White Magic - CEO
You - Gold Panda
CMYK - James Blake
A New Error - Moderat
Summer House - Gold Motel (really catchy)
Maximalist and Animals - Baths

10/6/2010 2:53:35 PM

additionally, i've often wondered how "ring ring" became "rill rill"

10/6/2010 3:07:06 PM

man, this new and belle and sebastian is just awful... the only song i could imagine listening to again is 'ghost of rockschool.'

that norah jones song on the album effectively ends my relationship with belle and seb

"new Rival Schools this month. Looking forward to that."

From email:
Rival Schools have just released the video for their new song "Shot After Shot"

“Pedals” will be released in March 7th, 2011 in the UK/EU, and March 8th, 2011 in the US/Canada.

Not sure how many of y'all have followed (or even care for that matter) the Lupe Fiasco/Atlantic Record issue lately, but apparently they've finally settled their differences. And Lupe's new album, LASERS, is set to release on March 8 2011. It's been complete, according to Lupe Fiasco, for a couple of years now but Atlantic kept pushing it back. According to the article below, Atlantic said the lead single will be released on Oct 26. This is definitely the album I'm most looking forward to...

Also, Lupe put this song up on his site a few weeks ago...it's from his next album, after LASERS. Sounds pretty good.

10/8/2010 8:57:56 PM

no one has ever had a record pushed back before

10/8/2010 9:54:09 PM

^Oh I know...it's nothing major. But the story behind it was pretty interesting, if you care at all about his music (which I do...others may not). There was a big protest planned for sometime this month because they kept putting the album off. The story had gained national attention...just thought someone may be interested, that's the only reason I posted it.

10/8/2010 10:06:36 PM

I'm just saying, as waiting periods go for completed-but-unreleased albums, this one is relatively short.

Extraordinary Machine
Chinese Democracy
Smile

etc.

10/8/2010 10:10:02 PM

I really like this Radio Dept. album. Shoegaze and pop never sounded so good together.
Album cover is "dope" too.

10/9/2010 11:50:18 AM

it's out, giving it a first listen, then i'll give impressions

10/9/2010 12:10:06 PM

i really like it. it's alot of R&B which surprised me but overall 7/10. first and last tracks are my faves but there are one or two inbetween that stand out as well. not a fan of the single Oliver Twist but if you do like that then the rest of the album should be cool for you too.

10/9/2010 2:03:44 PM

digging it, has a good vibe throughout

10/9/2010 2:40:12 PM

might be old since I was out of town a lot last week but, new glassjaw song here:

http://beta.projectrodney.com/glassjaw

10/11/2010 8:19:57 AM

New kylesa has leaked, probably old news but its decent.

Need a few more listens with a few more beers to decide

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

10/12/2010 12:06:21 AM

^^wasn't posted yet, saw it last week but didn't think of posting it in here.

10/12/2010 12:15:20 AM

new intronaut album came out today. its excellent. really really excellent

10/13/2010 12:00:10 AM

liking the new zola jesus ep.

10/13/2010 6:41:40 PM

i know i've talked a lot about titus andronicus in this thread already, but holy shit

Titus Andronicus | FOR NO ONE from FOR NO ONE on Vimeo.

10/14/2010 2:06:11 AM

about 7-8 minutes too long

10/14/2010 4:47:52 AM

^That should almost never be said about a TA song. They're supposed to be that way.

That song rules and that's a great live version. TA is one of my favorite bands right now, and they're so fucking awesome live.

somebody stole Dan Deacon's Glowing Green Skull again

10/14/2010 2:27:49 PM

Great video, due to the coloring.

It sounds a lot like it does on the album.

That lead singer sounds like shit. I'd shoot myself in the head if I had to listen to that whole song.

10/14/2010 3:12:25 PM

well, congrats on not liking a really good band

10/14/2010 3:19:59 PM

to me he has always sounded a lot like Conor Oberst to me

Weezer - "Tragic Girl" http://blogs.1077theend.com/files/2010/10/Weezer-Tragic-Girl_422410-2.mp3

Recorded during the 1997 Pink Triangle sessions. Can't believe this never got out until now; it's up there with everything from that era. Some of the songs that have emerged from that time show that they probably could have released a pretty fantastic third album had everything not gone to shit with Rivers. Too bad.

10/14/2010 9:39:07 PM

to me he has always sounded like a non-bitch version of Conor Oberst to me.

10/15/2010 1:13:58 AM

Bad Books is good.

10/16/2010 7:56:15 PM

So we can all agree that witch house is the worst thing ever invented, right? But I'm seriously thinking of making an album tomorrow, uploading it to What, and tagging it witch house so people will download it.

I'm gonna say there's a 60% chance of that happening, seriously.

10/17/2010 11:20:38 AM

new maple stave album:
http://maplestave.bandcamp.com/album/like-rain-freezing-and-thawing-between-bricks-year-after-year-this-house-will-come-down-2

you can stream it there (and buy it if you so choose)

10/17/2010 12:53:50 PM

^^LOL.

Those videos of Salem performing live are fucking hilarious. They're so awful. Solid record, though.

10/17/2010 1:04:15 PM

I really enjoy TA

really unenjoy Conor Oberst, unless I get nostalgic for a tic and listen to Desaparecidos

that said, I see the similarities, certainly

and W00T DARYL PALUMBO
