Has van halens 1984 hit the east coast yet?

I'm astrakadvent and I approved this message

1/1/2011 9:36:01 AM

I listen to music recorded in 1973 in the year 2011

thus I am cool

1/1/2011 2:18:16 PM

this year, try to include more samples. it don't gotta be full album mediafire links, but i'm too old to go hunting down some of this shit only to find out it sounds like mountain man

1/1/2011 2:28:10 PM

i, too, am too old to use the internet.

1/1/2011 5:52:33 PM

^^ if it's not season two, don't bother downloading... Anything after season two is crap

1/2/2011 9:36:01 AM

about to listen to the Smith Westerns and Tennis albums. high hopes for both.

bands coming out with 2011 albums I've already heard that I like: Des Ark, Teen Daze, Ducktails, Wire

the new Iron & Wine is not good at all

1/2/2011 2:49:12 PM

the james blake album is kinda groovy. pitchfork may have got this one right.

1/2/2011 4:01:52 PM

just finished listening to the new smith westerns album. it was enjoyable, though i don't initially like it as much as their s/t album. i'll probably give it another listen later.

1/2/2011 5:03:59 PM

the Tennis album did nothing for me, reminded me of a not as good Beach House with less keyboards.

thought the Smith Westerns was pretty good, sounds a lot like T-Rex's "The Slider" at points

1/2/2011 6:44:47 PM

I like that Tennis song Marathon. I haven't listened to the rest really.

1/2/2011 6:53:45 PM

yeah, the Tennis album didn't do it for me either

[Edited on January 2, 2011 at 7:57 PM. Reason : .]

1/2/2011 7:56:57 PM

new wire is good, new james blake is awesome, new smith westerns is really good, new british sea power is good, new mogwai is decent, new iron & wine is fucking awful

downloading new akron/family and tennis right now

update: actually, from what i've heard, the akron/family that leaked was apparently a joke leak by the band to cause confusion and avoid a leak of the real album...apparently there are several versions that leaked that are all heavily remixed from the real album. the one i heard was really noisy, fuzzy electronic music, kinda confused me

1/2/2011 8:19:52 PM

the James Blake, new Decemberists record and that new Cave Singers record are next up in my rotation.

i've already been on the Cave Singers a bit, and the first half of that record is fantastic.

1/3/2011 3:39:25 AM

Cave Singers do own

1/3/2011 8:52:38 AM

new decemberists is not as obnoxiously bad as hazards of love, but i wouldn't say it's good either. it's decent.

1/3/2011 2:40:19 PM

has the new decemberists leaked (if so please send link) or is it only available to stream on npr?

1/3/2011 7:56:57 PM

^it leaked, but i just grabbed it on what...if you have an account on what, it's up there

new james blake is my shit. so smooth, so soulful.

1/3/2011 8:54:56 PM

the new decemberists leaked awhile ago. it's floating around the internets. it's eh.

1/3/2011 9:43:50 PM

wtf best coast on jimmy fallon

1/4/2011 1:35:56 AM

i really dig the Tennis album for one. maybe it would remind me of Beach House if the tempo was dropped by 50% as well as the cheerfulness.

1/6/2011 11:43:21 PM

new birds of avalon comes out on tuesday

shit rules

1/7/2011 1:55:55 AM

So how do you know its good if its not out yet?

I'm AstralAdvent and I approved this message.

1/7/2011 2:47:04 AM

because it's been done for more than two years

1/7/2011 2:52:37 AM

I don't know why I said Beach House... sounds like a not-as-good Best Coast. either way it left me lukewarm.

1/7/2011 2:58:03 AM

I'm totally down with some Mogwai.

1/7/2011 3:04:47 AM

Was just about to come in and mention the new Tennis.

It's a short and sweet album. There's nothing special about it, per se.

But I really dig that chick's voice. It's not gonna grow on me, but I like it. I think they're coming to Local 506 sometime in March. I'll most likely go see them. I liked that DeShannon cover on their Myspace page. Should be good times...

1/8/2011 10:29:06 AM

anything new that isn't hipster music? can't stand that garbage.

I'm out of the loop on new music for the last decade.


yeah, i'm that guy.

1/8/2011 10:31:46 AM

depends on what you consider "hipster music." The Music of 20XX threads on here always feature a huge range of music from electronic, to indie, to metal, to hip hop, to pop etc. Already on this page there are several bands that sound absolutely nothing like each other.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for (and I know it's hard to tell what style all these bands are that people list if you aren't in the loop so to speak - I was just pointing out that there is always a wide range of styles and tastes here).

1/8/2011 10:37:43 AM

yeah i'm so far removed that i can't tell what's what.

guess i'll just have to google some shit hahaha

1/8/2011 11:12:16 AM

still waiting on that BTBAM EP

"i never learnt to share" is currently my favorite jam.

Yeasayer released a pay-what-you-want live album that I've been enjoying lately.

1/9/2011 4:51:38 PM

this Starfucker album will probably be pretty popular. indie rock/pop with lots of keyboards. pretty catchy.

1/9/2011 5:12:47 PM

yes, starfucker is good stuff.

1/9/2011 9:18:15 PM

the new starfucker is pretty good.

cake's new album leaked. it's okay, if you like cake.

1/9/2011 9:33:38 PM

Will be downloading starfucker when i get home tonight. "Bury us alive" fucking rules. Heard a song from the new Nicole atkins album too. Looking forward to that leaking.

1/10/2011 12:28:53 PM

^^^^^
Wasn't really a big fan of Odd Blood compared to All Hour Cymbals

1/10/2011 1:21:13 PM

James Blake album has some great moments, but on the whole it ain't nothing special

1/10/2011 3:50:11 PM

halfway through starfucker. this is really good.

1/10/2011 6:31:53 PM

has this been posted here already?

Radiohead multi-cam dvd of their entire set from the Haiti benefit show. Free to download in HD (suggested donation of course). The entire thing is streaming in 720p on youtube as well. Sound quality is really solid there. Great set spanning all their albums.

Kanye West and Jay-Z are doing an album together called "Watch The Throne". The lead single was released at midnight tonight...its alright, I don't really like Kanye West's verse on it though. Here it is:

put me down in the group not jumping on board w/ this James Blake hype...just can't seem to get through it.

[Edited on January 11, 2011 at 1:17 PM. Reason : ^^I wish Radiohead would've donated some sbd aud.]

1/11/2011 1:12:09 PM

^^I see that video taken down on youtube...it can still be heard here...

new cut copy is out there now. enjoying it so far.

1/16/2011 9:18:14 PM

Seriously, the new Mogwai is really really good.

1/16/2011 9:48:23 PM

Mogwai has a lot of good, good material.

a lot.
