soundtrack to the apocalypse

so this is pretty low-key, kind of a more spread out explosions in the sky, but its very movie soundtrack-like so emily you might like it. maybe its a little too depressing but give it a try its kinda creepy in a cool way.

Godspeed You! Black Emporer - F♯A♯∞

spoooooon

so this one took a little longer, but it gets my stamp of approval. look out for 'the mystery zone'. give it a few listens before you give up on it, its not as straightforward as gimme fiction.

The Mystery Zone - Spoon

Spoon - Transference

folk day

here's the sophomore album from some guy that came out of nowhere with 'shallow grave'. i think you guys have it so let me know if not. this one sounds like a good complement to the first album.

The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt

Crosby, Stills, & Nash - s/t

so i know our parents probably played this album to death, but i sure dont remember most of these songs. between this, buffalo springfield, and neil young, ive finally gotten into oldies albums! just skip marrakesh express (it didnt age well) and youve got a pretty awesome album. its not ruined by radio hits either (judy blue eyes never gets old)

the other cut copy album

is just as good as the most recent. if you don't have it let me know

Going Nowhere - Cut Copy

check out that momhair

you'll like this one - its your typical indie girl singer songwriter stuff but she can play the electric guitar!! You get nice little ditties and then electric guitar freakouts mid song. A good starting point is 'laughing with a mouth of blood' or 'save me from what i want'

St. Vincent - Actor

assorted albums

I'll do a writeup on these eventually, just have a backlog of stuff i wanted to get up

Teen Dream

The Besnard Lakes - Are The Roaring Night

Field Music - Measure

Vampire Weekend - Contra

The Knife - Silent Shout

Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield

deerhunter, best band of the late naughties

If you want a good introduction to this band, listen to Fluorescent Grey, its a good distillation of their sound, and it is perfect.

Fluorescent Grey

Cryptograms (best album)

Microcastle

Weird Era

Rainwater Cassette Exchange

Atlas Sound

get your shins fix!

this is a collaboration between the shins lead singer and Danger Mouse, some guy involved in gorrilaz who also made a white album / black album mashup. whatever. it sounds like shins to me

the national

sad songs for dirty lovers might be my favorite album from the national. some of the songs might be harder to get into but there is a really great song almost every other song. its sequenced really well. let me know if any of you are missing this album.

Fashion Coat - The National

two albums and a song

So I originally said Spoon - Girls Can Tell was a boring album with no standouts but I've given it a few more tries and I found that it is really solid, especially from fitted shirt to the end. Reminds me of the strokes just in how tight the band is and how cohesive everything is. You can listen to this album once a day for a week and not get sick of it.

The Fitted Shirt - Spoon

David - you're going to listen to Brand New - Daisy and after that you will love the band so much you will realize that the devil and god is one of the few good mainstream emo/rock albums of the decade. I don't remember if you have it so let me know if not. They might also have some of the better album covers you will see. Though I should let Emily decide on that one.

Noro - Brand New

The Letting Up Despite Great Faults song is off their s/t debut and I havent decided whether its any good yet, but this song is pretty cool. Hopefully its peppy enough for you guys.

girly music!

In celebration of emily drunk texting me, here's some girly music. David you can listen to this with headphones on when no one else is around. You know, like the way you should listen to passion pit. Pearl Harbor is another lofi-ish band in the vein of warpaint/washed out/best coast. Pretty nice and short ep - Something about the Chaparrals. As a bonus, you get reminded to listen to Tusk!! This is a really good one.

Sisters Of The Moon - Fleetwoo...

have a happy friday

So if you want to play songs through this website you have to sign up which is kinda

annoying but after that Its pretty nice because you can listen to anything you want.

I'll usually post ones you already have that I'm really liking at the time so I can

remind you to revisit it : P

Soft Revolution - Stars

why hello

I decided that since you guys are all clamoring for new music that this would be a good place for me to send you stuff and then we can have little music discussions and it will be tons of fun. It's also good because I can post stuff and then you can decide whether you want it instead of feeling like you have to listen to it because I told you so. But you will still be my favorite sibling ever if you listen and tell me what you think. Since I have a small shins obsession lets start things off with flake music, the same core group with a different name before they made it big. They were touring with modest mouse when they recorded this album, and you can kind of tell. Oh and while we are talking shins, the past and pending is the greatest song ever. Just putting that out there.
