Not for Summer, but Queue for the CX season
NME describes this as “Scottish emo-gaze doesn’t come any bigger than this. In fact, it doesn’t usually come at all, but it should – over five atmospheric minutes, the broad-accented despair on display here slowly builds up from Snow Patrol ‘boo-hoo-hoo’-ness into Explosions In The Sky awe-metal.”
The Emo I could leave, but what NME calls Emo I hear Joy Division-ness.

Owl City
This is doing me right this AM in which we once again seem to have skipped summer and moved directly to fall. If it’s gonna be cold, I want my damn cx.

best. album. description. evar.
“And so an album that began its life as an acoustic jam session in the bucolic woods outside Seattle ends in a cartoon orgy of bloodshed in some mythical arena that exists in the darkest recesses of Emily Haines’ mind. Each extreme represents a fantasy in their own right: the ideal of hermetic artistic purity versus the spectacle of excess and decadence.”
the new metric. quoted from here.

J, You’ve loved the Knife, You’ve loved the Fuck Buttons….Would you love their unholy love child?
So here we are with a full circle situation. The Knife and The Fuck Buttons, two groups that I closely associate with J have, by happen stance come together.
We were getting caught up on old KCRW top tune podcasts and ran across Karin Dreijer Andersson’s solo project Fever Ray. Karin and Olof being the siblings behind the Knife, she being behind the creepiest voice ever put to vinyl. We ran into the following:
A really solid track by Fever Ray….perfectly channels the 80’s…would have been fantastic background music to a night shooting scene in Miami Vice:
The scariest Music Video I’ve EVER seen…seriously. WTF
The newest FR vid:
Most educational tribute vid evver…Fuck Buttons remixing Fever Ray to a watch instructional film.:

COMBIPOST As long as we’re gaming/college albums to reconsider
Everything Zen?
So many title for so little content! A bit like the actual action of both of todays offerings. First and most importantly ZENBOUND…the new game app for the iphone that seems to be freakin’ cool.
Second.
As we continue the self-abusive retrostomp back to the 92-97 period, I offer an album that every young thing that I wanted to hit on seemed to love, Bush’s Sixteen Stone. I’ll own the fact that I only thought that the lead singer was kinda hot and that Glycerine was the dumbest lyric/title that I ever heard, yet managed to enjoy the song.
The album did amazingly well for trashy stuff. And, I’d dare say we could all sing along to too many of these lil Bastards.
FLAME ON!
