I literally was thinking about Chris Taylor today on my way to work. Thinking about how anything with his name on it producer-wise or other-wise, is nearly always next level. Also, how I’d love to hear something else from CANT. But, I guess until then we’ll just have to deal with things he’s got his hands on. Go down to Green Lable Sound and download Neon Indian’s new song. It’s so sooth it hurts.

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:45:00 -0800

I didn’t want to lead with a picture of Justin Vernon because the focus is this amazing new record coming out by Anaïs Mitchell Hadestown. From JagJaguwar, they say, “Hadestown is a modern folk opera whose songs tell the tale of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice re-imagined and set in the United States.”

And if that statement doesn’t both blow your mind and make you question everything you’ve ever known, I don’t know what will. But what makes it even sweeter is that Justin Vernon is contributing to a number of tracks on the album, which for any fan of everything Justin touches, like me, is exciting news.

The record is out on Tuesday, March 9th. You can download the track below at JagJaguwar. <3

Cults - Go Outside

I wish I could say that all the hype about Cults is ridiculous; but, goddammit if it’s not all exactly on point. From rags (and that’s not a reference to the quality of GvsB!) to riches in just days. It’s so good. So just go get it okay!?

(via therecordmachine): Song Of The Day
Run and don’t walk over to the Cults’ Bandcamp and download this song with two others. I have had this little EP on repeat all morning. I have already listened to Go Outside a good 5 or 6 times and the rest a few more times. I want to hear more from Cults now. It is infectious.

(via yvynyl):

I was going to post this myself, but here you have it in reblog fashion. Love all three tracks by Cults, for sure. Catchy, catchy stuff.

“We only write about two feelings: one is the first day of summer when you and all of your friends are standing on the edge of a cliff watching the sun set and being overcome with all of your hopes and dreams at once. The other is when you’re walking alone in the rain and realize you will be alone forever.” -The Drums

It’s not even spring, and I already feel a favorite summer album coming on. That is Summertime! by The Drums. If you listen to The Drums and find yourself wondering when the music was made, you wouldn’t be the only one. It seems like Surf Rock is back and in full affect. The album is bright and smooth, with a hint of heartbreak in places. But still leaving you wanting to bounce all the way to the beach and into the water. The album has been lightening my load recently, and I can’t see that changing for a while.

(buy on iTunes)

Get into it:

The Drums = Let’s Go Surfing

The Drums = Down By The Water

LA band KISSES song “Weekend in Brooklyn.” One additional track on their MySpace page.

Sounds to me like a dancier version of Jens Lekman, who I love. Playing the Echo Curio on April 24th.

<3 for LA bands.

Bob Dylan and John Lennon in a Car. Part 1

My friend Ben sent me this today and wrote this:

“I found this, because i am now partially obsessed with Bob Dylan.
its not good, or interesting - its just, i wonder how much of the world was changed by these 2. oh yeah, Dylan is totally drunk i think.”

I do wonder how much the world was changed by these two?
