Mr. Tibbs posted:So I've been waiting for Thanksgiving to be over before listening to this album. Started off with "Christmas Unicorn" as per your suggestions. That song is super awesome, and boy that Joy Division really came out of nowhere. I've waited til after Christmas, too, just to keep from going crazy. I put on christmas music, but more and more of the playlist is Mr Stevens. I've got 2 discs of Vince Guaraldi, 1 of Oscar Peterson, 1 of comedy songs, and 10 of Sufjan. Dude's monopolizing my holiday cheer.

Me and my girlfriend are going to see Jeff Mangum in January. I used to complain about how the guy should just write another album and stop touring the same small batch of songs, but drat it if I'm not excited to see this show. We're also seeing Dan Deacon in a couple of weeks and I've heard incredible things about his shows and his music is something incredibly pure and potent. His new album America is fantastic.

The debut album of Kamp! was finally released yesterday, and it's loving brilliant. You'll (by "you" I mean people outside of Poland) be able to buy it digitally in the next few days. If you like Cut Copy then you will definitely like Kamp. Two singles from the album: Kamp! - Cairo Kamp! - Sulk Attention Horse fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Nov 24, 2012 |

I saw both over the last few weeks, two incredible shows. Jeff played "Oh Sister" for what he said was the first time in 15 years, and Dan turned the floor of the Bowery Ballroom into a coordinated dance-off, human cyclone, and exploding group hug. Make sure to get the Dan Deacon smartphone app before the show starts, you'll need it when he plays True Thrush.

I've been listening to Monster Head Room by Ganglians for the past few days now (thanks to Last.fm), and it's really good. They're a throwback to 60s psychedelic rock/pop ala Jefferson Airplane, Velvet Underground, and Beach Boys--an influence that's thrown around a lot these days, but in this case it actually fits; the falsetto harmonies layered with random yelps, whoops, and whatever-the-hells sound a lot like Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys (and Ariel Pink), best exemplified on tracks like "Voodoo" and "Try To Understand", two gorgeous, blissed-out pop songs. The album is pretty varied, too, ranging from the aforementioned pop songs, to hypnotic psychedelic freak outs on "The Void" and "100 Years", to somber acoustic numbers with "To June" and "Modern African Queen". "Valiant Brave" may be my favorite, though, as it sort of incorporates all these things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLnt1ZDa0OA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JbU2tDkec8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4sdqaYHZNA

That's okay because the She & Him Christmas album is awful. Go for the Christmas Special by The Boy Least Likely To instead.

Great recommendations, all. Didn't mean to turn this into the recommendation thread but it seemed appropriate at that moment. Oh hellllll no, especially since What if I have no talent? Even better! The more awful, the better. The best songs last year were the worst ones. No hilarity for me, no sir!

Has anyone heard Dan Deacon's new mash-up album yet? Wasn't expecting this to drop out of nowhere, but it's really insane and awesome, and I think it's even better than "America," which was pretty spectacular in it's own right.

The post-ST&C output has received a fair amount of valid criticism, but I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed by ToD album. Still, I certainly get where the disappointment comes from. That said, have you listened to their new album Lost Songs yet? If you haven't I really think you should. It's probably the closest they've come to ST&C since, and it's pretty great in it's own right. Really, for anyone even remotely interested in Trail of Dead...listen to Lost Songs. It's really great.

The Bowerbirds are doing a Kickstarter for their next album. It seems to be doing well, it went live about 8 hours ago and they already have ~$8,000 of their $28,000 goal. They're using the money to build a studio in their cabin. $20 will get you a digital copy of their next album, unreleased tracks, and Phil's new side-project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/271766523/bowerbirds-new-album-and-side-project-made-in-diy Needless to say, I'm pretty excited!

Just discovered an absolutely beautiful band called The Civil Wars. They have got some very gorgeous tracks, some beautiful folk stuff going on here. Amazing voices too. Unfortunately they only have one album and I think are breaking up because of creative differences or something. Sucks, but at least there's one great one out. Anyway here are some songs Poison & Wine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrOUwbsy12E Barton Hollow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrOUwbsy12E This one is my favourite, I especially love the break-down at the end.

So i'm looking for this piece of music which got released around last fall and in which ~a well known band~ (by indie standards) uses the lyrics from the litany against fear of the Bene Gesserit in Frank Herbert's Dune series of books. I've been looking on google, stereogum, and have been asking to my friends, but none seem to be able to help. Hence my asking to you, mighty goon-hivemind. Would anyone happen to have a link, please?

If you haven't heard of Radiation City they are a Portland indie group. They have a really unique sound. I saw them at the Crystal Ballroom opening for Menomena, fantastic act. They had a better sound than the new Menomena actually (since they split and Ramona Falls became about 20x as good, Menomena is a failure live. No energy.) Really mellow. One of my favorite songs from their album is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAWS7ImoWbA Color of Industry. I'm not sure if Morning Teleportation counts as indie, it's more of Psychedelic Rock. Regardless they have a very eclectic style; I find they remind me of a faster paced Local Natives. A mix of reverbed guitar, electric breakdowns, and bitchin drums. Makes for a great band. Saw them at Misssissipi Studios in Portland and they were definitely hit and miss on their performance, but really high energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKTbbf4z1PQ Expanding Anyways. thehoodie posted:Just discovered an absolutely beautiful band called The Civil Wars.

Every year it's the same poo poo. You hear the albums you hear, you don't hear the albums you don't, but then the next year comes. Are you like me? Do you end up starting fresh every year and never really getting to a lot of the music you meant to check out? I do it every year. This year I decided to address it. I've listened to everything I thought looked interesting. I'm blasting through my 2012 backlog now. Anything I missed the first time around - OFF!, TNGHT, Ty Segall, Deerhoof, Crystal Castles. It's all here, it's all getting heard. Winamp tells me I have 23 hours of unheard music from this year, so I'll make it easily. Anyway this long and rambling post is really just a cover to tell you all something. Man, this Chairlift LP is loving bomb as poo poo. This is my jam. Soooo good.
