Delta Spirit- Live iTunes EP

Six songs from Ode to Sunshine which I posted on here a while back. This is a really high quality live recording and I like these versions better than the album (for the most part.) I'm posting it on here out of spite of my hatred of iTunes.

Rant- Juno Soundtrack

Everyone loves this CD so freaking much. I hate it. The stupid indie songs are terrible. The lyrics are stupid, not cute. The people can't sing or play their instruments in the least.

Yes, there are good songs by actual artists, but those aren't the ones people like. It's the ones that are SUPER indie just for the sake of connecting with the "indie generation" or something dumb like that. For example, Stephen Malkmus couldn't sing very well, but Pavement was still awesome. This is just an abomination, not to mention an exploitation of people like me- college kids who just want to be cool and different than people that listen to John Mayer all day.

The Tallest Man Alive- Shallow Graves

Do you like sweet finger picking? (yes)
Do you like raspy, twangy vocal lines? (yes)
Do you care that every song is pretty much the same? (no)

then get this.

If you can't read it, it's called "it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright." haha great.

The Appleseed Cast- Sagarmatha

Other than the cover art, I'm pretty down with this album. Much more post rock than their previous albums with a little Low Level Owl thrown in. I'm glad they departed from the "rock" sound of Peregrine. Think 7-8 minute epics. Haven't listened to the whole things yet, but sounding good. Engineering is pretty right on as well.

Little Joy- S/T

Drummer from the Strokes side project. Sounds like a more beachy, laid back Strokes. Very nice to chill out to. Great album art which I don't know how to put on here.

Dark Was the Night Compilation

I don't usually dig compilations, but this is a really great one. Unreleased songs from Dirty Projectors (w/ David Byrne), Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, The Books, and Iron and Wine are all wonderful. Like real good. I might go buy this, actually.

Edit: More thoughts. The two new Bon Iver songs (one under Justin Vernon's name) make up for the Blood Bank EP disappointment. You also must listen to the entire new Sufjan electronica epic. I took down the links because you need to buy this. If you don't, you're killing people with HIV.
