Still completely blown away by this album

Finally broke down and checked this out. Didn't love it at first but it's got this intoxicating quality and kept playing it and now I also love it.

Gotta say that in a similar vein, the new Har Mar Superstar album is hitting me in the same place. He's always come across as a gimmick but he made the point that if he looked like Usher, no one would think his music was fake or faux or whatnot.

Daft Punk "Random Access Memories" lead single "Get Lucky" now available.

New Iggy & the Stooges LP. It's no Raw Power, but I like it.

At least they added the single to Myplaydirect - that gives me hope that this won't be an iTunes only digital exclusive, which has been my fear for a while. 

EDIT: Just as I type that, it hits Google Play. Still 48 hours behind…

New Deerhunter up on NPR First Listen

So far, I like it!

No mention of any of this Boards of Canada stuff yet? I know there are a few fans here.
One puzzle piece left

Finally getting around to listening to this, I think I like Open Your Heart better… Anyone going to the show tonight?

Animated video for "I Appear Missing": http://www.likeclockwork.tv/

More shorts/videos will be premiered on [adult swim] on Sundays leading up to the release.

i like waiting for the album to "drop" (god that word still makes me feel odd inside) to listen to any music, at this point.  i like the neato believe that i am still back in the day when albums came out and you had to wait to listen to them.  i probably give too music respect to the past, but i also dont worry about where i have to go to 'steal' art until said art is released.  it does upset me about "leaking" . . . like what happened to the writer of sex and the city and her new book.  computers are good for adding quick and killing us all, we should keep it that way.

Been waiting almost 6 years for this. I need to hear new Queens. I will be going out and buying this the day it comes out regardless! Now to find a cd player…

Nevermind…..

This sounds promising:

"Our new record, Oblivion Hymns (remember the ticket that was included in the Departure Songs CD) is being mixed right now in England by our good friend, Julian Kindred. It's our most orchestrated record to date. Big, big strings, horns, children's choir and a guest vocal from Timothy Showalter of Strand of Oaks. It's EPIC and a soul crusher. An ambitious undertaking for us. We hope to release it this October."

"Yes, it?s true. The Polyphonic Spree is releasing their brand new album May 28, 2013."

Can we declare Shaking the Habitual the album of the year yet?
