Relevance...

is ultimately what we're all looking for, right? This album seems to be very relevant. I've seeded it way more in less than 24 hours than most albums I download ever see, even when I am one of the first to snatch. I really liked the EP, and I like this LP, but Passion Pit seem a bit off-centered for all the hype I assume will follow this leak. Remember when old people and major network news we're talking about the latest Animal Collective album? Has the internet really shrunk our world to a size where Ted Koppel is hanging out behind the scenes with Steve Aoki? Regardless, this video is awesome:

And the heads at nodata are sitting on the 192kbps version of Passion Pit's Manners.

I'll wash your back

Enjoy, world.

Sorry for all the single album posts lately...


The new Bjork double disc hit the internet last night, the first is a live disc, the second is a bunch of remixes, the Modeselektor and Ratatat mixes have already dropped on other EPs and such, but I can't wait to hear what XXXChange did with Earth Invaders and what Simian Mobile Disco did with Innocence. You can pick up Voltaic from our good buddies over at nodata.

Shadow of the Colossus

While I wouldn't normally post a Mega64 video, this one caught me off guard (and held on for dear life).

Hot off the press...

Head over to Turbo City with the hurryupness and cop the new K-Os album before it gets taken down again.

Dunt dunt dunts

Allow me to start by warning the world that His Streetness Pablo Escalade and Forrest Trump are about to take the hip-hop world by storm - a torrential downpour of hos, cocaine, assault rifles and luxury SUVs is on the horizon.

In case you weren't aware I'm pretty sure Kid Cudi is going to save hip-hop. Here's another dope mix tape, courtesy of Turbo City. And fuck what Pitchfork says (those guys are assholes anyway) if you want low-brow blowjob rap look no further than the Lady GaGa sampling "Poke Her Face."

It should come as no surprise that I'm in love with the new St. Vincent album Actor, cop it before it goes down again at Alternative Take. It's not the most inspired video and certainly not the best track on the album, but here is the video for Actor Out of Work:


Kid 606 is your man for glitch, and thankfully he's come back with a new album full of spazzy break beats and cannibalism. Grab it at nodata.

Let's go ahead and keep it weird with the new Dirty Projectors release Bitte Orca. Watch the video for Stillness is The Move below and then cop it over at Radiobutt


Here's a throwback to last year: If you missed Atlas Sound, the solo project from Bradford Cox (singer from Deerhunter), you fucked up! Fret not - I am here to rectify the situation. The only LP under the moniker, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel is fantastic. It was recently re-uped at Independent World.

Whats up Ryan?

its retarded how hard I laughed at that the first time I saw it.

God Hates Fag-Music

So I stumbled across an amazingly interesting list of bands considered to be dangerously homosexual according to lovegodsway.org.

This list is solid gold, some bands included and their reasons for being gay are fuckign amazing. some of my favorites are

George Michael for being Texan
Toby Keith for being a cowboy
Marylin Manson for being "dark gay"
Ted Nugent for wearing a loincloth
NoFX for being "gay punks"

...and Elton John for being...wait for it...."really gay"

maybe the best part of this irrefutable gay-super list, however, is that Morrissey is "questionable"

Bjork is also on the list for "mb" and Twisted Sister for 'jj" --- if anyone deciphers that please enlighten me.

WHOA



I never really had much of an opinion on Dan Deacon, but his fans make me want to check under the bed before going to sleep, so I'm out.
