Music. 2012. The Best.
« on: January 13, 2012, 06:08:31 PM »
Some douche will make another thread in a few weeks because they can't find this one, but here we go, cause I've already started on some new music.

Cloud Nothings - Attack On Memory

As uneven as their previous outings.  There are some epic noisy jams, and there are awesome indie pop/rock nuggets. File this under Won't Win Any New Fans.  Not too bad, though.

That band did nothing for me when I heard them a year or two ago. Probably won't check this one out.

After about 5 albums they will have an album's worth of great stuff.

Granted I love everything he does, but the John K Samson album is wonderful. 

Right now listening to the new Nada Surf album.  I bet Christian (and maybe Doc and Mikey) and other Superdrag/Harvey Danger/etc. fans would really dig it.

i just grabbed that.  i've never really listened to them, but i know their drummer played with harvey danger for a bit.  the title is cool so i figured i'd check it out

If you like this one check out Proximity Effect and Let Go. They're incredible records.

Yeah "Blonde on Blonde" off of Let Go is my favorite Nada Surf song.

the john samson, jealous sound, and nada surf albums are all great
samson's especially
"when i write my master's thesis" has to be a reference to "when i paint my masterpiece", right?

edit:  i just compared the lyrics.  it definitely is.  that makes it even better

i really like the changes he made to the 7" songs. "stop error" is listenable now!
i'm also glad he threw some rock songs on there.  it's more varied than i expected.

Slow Jets - Exit The Age is really good!

I don't there's anyone else on the planet who would or could write a love song about ocelots except for Christy Brigitte Darlington.
Dude's totally unappreciated.

right now, provincial is my favorite.  followed closely by the craig finn record.  then the nada surf LP.  the jealous sound record is disappointing.  it just makes me want to listen to the first one.  got fucked up's "year of the tiger" 12" today!

The CF album is pretty great. "My Friend Jesus" is skip-able at best, cringeworthy at worst.

Love "No Future" and "Rented Room".
