Cake? Cake.

Edit: oh and I think the new Smith Westerns leaked. I'm not sure whether the download is any good though, will investigate. Although, I think I mainly like this band because I always think that the lead guy is Sean.

160kbps web rip but yeah it rocks

It's not like Smith Westerns needs to be super high quality, it's the Smith Westerns. But yeah it's real real good, departure from the first record but I'm pretty psyched so far.

Also the James Blake LP leaked and it's fucking great.

Smith Westerns never grabbed me in the end actually, I just have no desire to listen to it again. Couldn't really get into the james blake one either, but it's interesting so I'll give it a few more goes probably.

it's weird, i really don't like animal collective or their various offshoots but avey tare was quite groovy.

valley_parade · « **Reply #106 on:** 31 Dec 2010, 07:31 »

I got through three songs of Animal Collective before turning it off.

I got through 26 seconds of an Avey Tare track before doing the same. You make the call.

Apparently it's all about how Panda Bear was waiting for Avey Tare to release his solo record first, because he is a spiteful douchebag. He has released a few singles at this point.

Really any delay is fine by me, as it maximizes the time in which I don't have to hear about how AnCo is the most important and exciting band in music.

Anyway, I'd take Okkervil River over the Decemberists any day as far as my lit post-grad rock goes, but the last two albums really did very little for me despite the huge volume of jizz this forum blasted over them when they came out.

Johnny C · « **Reply #115 on:** 04 Jan 2011, 13:21 »

ain't nothing wrong with a song like "john allyn smith sails." i'm serious. but if that glasses rock aint your bag maybe try the long winters instead, they have guitar solos

Johnny C · « **Reply #117 on:** 04 Jan 2011, 14:14 »

tommy's right, it's literally just a case of the long winters being more about Rock Moments, you know? vs. okkervil's meticulous songcraft or whatever else you'd call it

Earlier today I listened to Autopsy's Mental Funeral and their 2010 EP back to back, and it was like they never split up. I am now super excited for their new full-length

at 8pm eastern standard time, tune into npr's music site and catch a full stream of iron & wine's new album. from then on, it will be on npr for on-demand listening. that is pretty cool, i think!

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #124 on:** 05 Jan 2011, 12:36 »

Man there is nothing about either Iron and Wine or Okkerville river that I can get excited about, anymore.

I mean it is not like I think they are bad at music or anything but what about them is really getting people going? I am honestly curious, because like it sounds nice and I have no problem with people listening to it or playing it around me but it is not something I have a desire to play, ever.

Vuk · « **Reply #129 on:** 05 Jan 2011, 14:37 »

Judging on how horrendous the songs on the newest Iron & Wine single were, the album will be bad as well. Seriously, there's one song on the single where it sounds like his take on a hip-hop song. He should NEVER do that.

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #134 on:** 05 Jan 2011, 17:09 »

Mitochondrion's new album is very interesting. They're Canadian death metal that I would place somewhere between Immolation and Portal (in terms of both how they sound and how good they are). Because they are Canadian and it is their way, they tend to push the drums and vocals way far up in the mix and obscure the riffs, but it seems like for this new release they decided to be slightly less obtuse. And I say slightly because the last three tracks are two ten-second bits of wooshing noises followed by a ten minute ambient outro

Really great death metal though. Less for banging your head/punching nuns to, more for sitting in the dark and feeling very very small

I'll try listening to anything if people won't shut up about it enough. Although I can pretty much guarantee I won't like it.

EDIT: Actually, I like this way way more than, like, The-Dream, Lil' B and, like, everybody else mentioned in the Swag thread combined. I was prepared for some extremely retarded bullshit when I saw the title was a literal fucking hashtag but uh, this guy is actually attempting to make rhymes and rhythms and the beat makes me feel so nice. I could believe that people genuinely enjoy this. I still don't believe that people enjoy Lil' B for real.

scarred · « **Reply #141 on:** 05 Jan 2011, 20:10 »

i haven't heard this alleged hip hop song but walking far from home was fucking great

David_Dovey · « **Reply #142 on:** 05 Jan 2011, 20:25 »

Do you know what would've made "Walking Far From Home" better? Just letting the song be a song instead of a bleepy-bloopy gimmick. The fact that "Walking Far From Home" doesn't suck gigantic ass (unlike the other tune on the single) is a testament to Sam Beam's skill as a crafter of melodies, not to his ill-advised new direction. It somehow managed to be good despite all attempts to fuck it up. I have a feeling most of the new material won't be so lucky.

Also I just wanna mention again that it feels pretty gratifying to have enjoyed that G-Side track. As much as I spend an awful lot of time being an insufferable cock about stuff on these boards I still derive more pleasure from getting jazzed about things that are good than shitting on things that are bad. I especially enjoy having my expectations subverted.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #143 on:** 05 Jan 2011, 20:27 »

For balance, I thought that G-Side track was monstrously boring.

The whole record is in the M/F thread and the swag thread and it's pretty incredible in my opinion. The Slow Motion Soundz/Block Beataz Alabama scene is really awesome, the beats especially. I just love how spacey and disoriented the beats sound, spacey without being pointless like Lil' B gets sometimes, and still being able to go really hard from time to time. Like this is the first record where the flow actually lives up to the incredible production that Block Beataz do. You should definitely check out the record if you liked the track.

Yeah, were from the south. Its no different from where you live. We hustle; we still chase dreams. Its just that your Benzes and Beamers are our Chevys and Lacs. We got pimps. Ours just wear creased jeans and Air Max. And in mouths down here, ice grills are str8 gold. Slow Motion means that while the whole world is racing by at 100 mph, we are traveling at a steady 50. Enjoying successful longevity while observing everything along the way- learning from our mistakes. ..

Like how can you not love that.

I'm not gonna say I've heard a heap of his stuff but what I did wasn't interesting. I get the Prince comparison but it's without the virtuosity or the unpredictability of being batshit insane and not giving a shit, i.e; what makes Prince awesome.
