Peaches Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just thought I'd mention how impressed I was with Kacey Musgraves' debut album 'Same Trailer Different Park' as well as The Band Perry's 'Pioneer' and Eric Church's live album 'Caught In The Act: Live'.

The Bookie Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This is something a bit different that I just discovered (I think it's been going for a year or two). A computer program that takes police scanners of various US cities in live time, than randomly selects ambient/downtempo tracks from Soundcloud and mashes them up. I was listening to the Los Angeles channel for hours the other day and it's strangely hypnotic. http://youarelistening.to/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 cannot believe how good the two Vampire Weekend songs are (diane young / step). 2013 is already one of the best years in music in recent memory just some phenomenal stuff being released, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Been a long time since I bought a new album. Have the first 2 Vampire Weekend albums, won't buy the next one. However, I am planning on getting the new Daft Punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Get Lucky is a phenominal pop single, to be sure. hopefully that album delivers. that new Mikal Cronin album that p4k praised is right up my alley as well, he has an amazing ear for good melodies and i really like his voice. also, this: what ridiculously good drumming. Segall is one of the most hard-working and talented guys in music right now, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 and yeah, just listened to the new VW a few times, it's just incredible. there's some pretty weird stuff going on lyrically though. Hudson jacks the melody line from Hallelujah. Ya Hey (which is meant to sound like Yahweh, right?) has lines like "zion doesn't love you, and babylon don't love you, but you love everything" and "through the fire, through the flames, you won't even say your name, only 'i am that i am'" which seems like a conversation with jesus type thing. Dianne Young is supposed to sound like dying young, i guess. lots going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I haven't read any lyrics yet, but when I listened to the album I noticed almost every song makes at least one reference to praying, God, religion, etc. I know some of the VW boys are Jewish, I wonder if they found God? They said the album was partially influenced by Dylan, right? I wonder if it was his odd religious phase in the 80s in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've listened to the new Phoenix album about 10 times now. The first 5 or 6 times I didn't "get it" at all, nothing was really sticking with me even seconds after I listened to it Now I like it a loooot more. Very solid release, IMO. And Deerhunter's coming to Victoria AND Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Deerhunter's coming to Victoria AND Vancouver. yeah, they're playing Sugar nightclub. seems like too small a venue for them, but nevertheless REALLY exciting. Smith Westerns just announced a show at the Electric Owl in Vancouver, which is also a tiny, cheap venue, so that's awesome as well. they played way bigger venues on their last North American tour opening for Arctic Moneys, so i guess they're set on headlining even if it means less prestigious stages.

GLASSJAW Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 smith westerns are remarkably unpopular did you see their coachella set? there was like 30 people watching, haha their last.fm numbers are extremely unimpressive too, considering how well received their music has been i still love 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Excavation, by the Haxan Cloak. Extremely atmospheric. And by atmospheric I mean creepy as hell. Its like a horror movie soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 One Republic's new album is awesome, called Native. Some really good tracks on there, I enjoyed this album a lot. These guys never seem to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckofSteel Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 lol Why "lol"? They are very good musicians who have good songs. Is it "lol" because its not rock or a musician that's not mainstream or something? I like all kinds of music, except for certain artists like the whole YMCMB thing (really bad) or Lady Gaga (Horrible). Also if you just don't like One Republic then that's cool.
