Bryan and I were talking and we think Avey Tare's 'Down There' is the best album of the year.
He's the primary song writer for Animal Collective. Blood Orange's 'Coastal Grooves' nice new-wavey steady poppy. Nurses' 'Dracula' yummy reverb space mountain.
Gang Gang Dance's ' Eye Contact' the new one from these guys, tight psychodelic jam.
Fleet Foxes' 'Helplessness Blues' saw them in seattle with the walkmen, good show.
James Blake's self titled debut beats and soul from a british white boy.
Rainbow Arabia's 'Boys and Diamonds' weird duo but it's pop at heart.
Warpaint's 'The Fool' all girl band, nice angst guitar howl.
Twin Shadow's 'Forget' the new prince - for real!
I'm about to start recording music with a girl I met down here that has a gorgeous voice and is a violinist/cellist/pianist. -I'm really excited about it. I miss creating with other people.... A LOT. I've got a 2 hour drive tomorrow with my pal Avey Tare. Thanks.
Looking forward to offline talks. Wouldn't want a paper trail. And who really knows about the people who hold the keys to this website. Might be of the deranged varietal.
I've been listening to Joe Strummer lately, Fleet Foxes, The Dears, Dire Straits per NotPhil, Willie Nelson's Stardust, Wilco's The Whole Love, and a lot of Belle and Sebastian's The Life Pursuit -My daughter likes that album. Not a whole lot of "new" music which is why I appreciate the recommendations. Oh, lot's of Field Music too. I love that band.
