stereogum?
On occasion, I’ve been tempted to post something I’ve seen on Stereogum. Thing is, I assume that we all read it. Is it redundant to post something from there, or are we not all Stereogum readers?

Hush and listen.
At first listen, Asobi Seksu’s Hush, sort of squelched (gasp) my high anticipation of its release. I’ve been a big fan (with no shame of my enthusiasm) of their previous well-written albums with their grandly executed guitar idiosyncrasies, multi-layered structures, and of course, Yuki’s otherworldly vocals. Thus, I was a little surprised when I’d realize that each time I put on Hush, it would...
Phoenix - "1901" →
I can’t get enough of this new Phonix song. The album drops in May, I think, but they are streaming the song on their website, as well as offering two mp3 downloads: one straight up recording, and another that is multi-track. Bad ass!

Awesome band. Maybe not so awesome band name.

I’m totally on this band’s jock. Ever since David sent me this album (thanks, man!) it’s been in heavy rotation. You just can’t lose with catchy melodies, pedal steel, and the occasional Rhodes. So good.
Edit: If Kanye West and Napoleon Dynamite had a kid, it would be the singer.

In case you had not heard, Joaquin Phoenix is getting out of the film industry and into the music business. He talked about it briefly on Late Night with David Letterman. Hilarity ensued.
Enjoy the silence. -fogues
Leo Getz says "Ok, ok, ok"
I’m taking this tumblr thing for a test drive. I’ll try to keep it music-related at the same time. So I know I’m late to the game here, but I heard about Pandora about a few months ago and started dialing it up at work. It’s pretty rad, as far as internet supplied tunes go. Since I’m using it primarily at work, I don’t want too much singing or rapping, and I...

I totally want to bone my headphones.
I dropped $200 yesterday.
I’m not saying that just to sound like a badass. I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous to do so. But seriously, tracking and mixing with earbuds is fucking retarded. My old Sonys blew out a couple years ago and I couldn’t be bothered to replace them. It’s weird; I still have them and they make things sound like they were compressed at 28kbps. How in...

The Psychic Paramount
You. Yes, you. You like the music. You like the noise. You like it raw. You like it experimental. You like it with well done distortion. You like it with layers of instrumental bewilderment. You like it to sound like some sort of apocalyptic blissful sonic destruction. (mm hmm) You like it to move you, to provoke you, to make you want to explode- but not to make you become exasperated. You like...
O wow, musicxs! neet-o
A collective of music nerds/junkies/awesome.
Here it is, finally putting the noisefloor.us to use besides for you know what. If you’ve received an invitation, well then post post away kiddies! Plz keep it somewhat musically related. And by somewhat, I mean just keep it interesting.
