Quit Mumbling

New Arcade Fire. Now this is more like it…

Panda Bear – Surfer’s Hymn (Berlin Bootleg) I can’t wait for Panda Bear’s new album, “Tomboy”. I’ve seen him live twice in the last 2 months and both times have been great. His new stuff is much less sample-oriented than the classic “Person Pitch”, but the strong melodies are definitely still there. This is one [...]

This is how I want my weekend to be… Thanks for the tip Gorilla vs. Bear

Love the new Wavves album art!  I guess him and his new gf decided to coordinate album covers (I wonder if they love each other as much as their cats, and pot).  Stuart and I are definitely excited for this album and all of the drug fueled antics Mr. Nathan Williams will be providing us [...]

Washed Out’s new “You and I” is the fourth installment to Adult Swim’s Singles Program.  I wonder if Washed Out is capable of making a bad song.  This latest track would certainly be good enough for inclusion on a full length release, but I’ll accept it as is.  Chairlift’s Caroline Polacheck offers her vocals to [...]

Here’s the new Wavves song “Post Acid” for Mountain Dew’s Green Label.  The song is packed with Nathan’s usual childish, summer fun, but for once, the production is completely cleaned up.  You can now enjoy one of today’s most exciting, new acts in high quality.
