Listening to the new Best Coast album now. I'm trying to not vomit and stab my eardrums with a knitting needle. This is horrible.

Rolling Stone and Entertainment weekly both had this rated as high as or higher than Beach House

Now I know why I never pay attention to those magazines

I quite like it actually, just some nice background music when you're chilling in the sun. I liked the first album a lot more though.

Its the vocals for me. I can't get over the vocals. The music underneath is fine.

Electric Guest - Mondo
Chairlift - Something
Sleigh Bells - Reign of Terror
Beach House - Bloom

Need some time to check out the new Jack White album.

 

[kash10003]

i enjoyed at least half of the electric guest album. head i hold is gonna get a lot of spins from me.

i wasnt a fan of the best coast album much, the jack white album is okay. i really like the white girl from karmin, shes kinda cute and can rhyme a bit (a little nikki minaj-y though)

2 NEW Animal Collective Songs for your ears :
"Honeycomb" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCK03Po10iE&feature=relmfu
"Gotham" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rh0xvLxIAI

Woke up today to the news that Animal Collective have officially announced their new album Centipede Hz for September. Neither of these songs is on it. Both of them had grown on me over the last week but I'm still ok with them not making the album.

I think it is safe to say there is a new most anticipated release of the year now! Best band in the world, hoping they can deliver again.

 

[Deafheaven]

Best band in the world is probably sigur ros or sonic youth. Both consistent quality.

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Anna (Moonlight Matters Remix)

Spoiler

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Anna _Moonlight Ma.mp3 - DivShare

 

[THE 101]

Can I get a high quality link for the new Beach House?

 

[Roaden Polynice]

You brehs were right, the new Beach House is brilliant. An improvement on Teen Dream which is a feat.

Now I just need that diiv and I'll be good for the summer
