favorite album of 2010 so far - The Soft Pack - great power pop
What Are You Listening To?
Agreed. The best tracks are easy contenders for top 10 song of the year (way early, obvs), the average tracks are listenable and the rest are kind of just…there.
Still, Swim gets added to the Shuffle for runs easily.

This one leads off with a great track, has a few more good ones, but several very dull ones as well.
I should also note that Surfer Blood is the only band I've ever known to be from my birthplace. Yay for them~!
The Muslims album they released last year was great too.

Is this up on Dime? I may have been at this show. I remember seeing Flipper at the old club in the mid-80s. And the timing is right, as I would have been home from college for the holidays.
Gray Strawberries - A Metropolitan Passionate Idealist
Gray Strawberries - Violent Skies of May
A Brasilian Post Rock band. Beautiful, spacey and (sometimes) rocking tunes. All of their music is given away free on their net label, sinewave, as is all of sinewave's music. There are a few other bands on there that people around here might like, if you dig shoegaze/post rock/experimental stuff. (check Blanched, Hoping to Collide With, Dualelectrum, Alma Mater, Este Silencio, and Herod Layne, for starters.)

the new sade is out and about, and it's awesome. other than a few nods to modern-day production techniques, this is a classic sade album. her voice sounds as good as it did 25 years ago.
this long-time sade fan is in love again.

Saw that sade this morning and thought of you
Also, the knife's collaboration wtih someone or other leaked on Wednesday. Its fine but I'll never listen to it.

I still remember seeing her on some British show MTV imported in the early 80s. Then hearing her on WHFS before Diamond Life was released stateside.
Yes, that Flipper is on Dime.
I listened to that Knife this morning. Nothing like starting your day with a noisy psychedelic opera about Charles Darwin.

A Shoegaze cover of the Lady Gaga song "Papparazzi" by my friends the Insect Guide.
Don't worry Az, I haven't crossed over to the other side. This is an amazing cover. Then again, I've never heard the original so can't really say how different it is. Insect Guide are incredibly good though so, at very least, they probably perfected a possibly good song. (Given the Lady the benefit of the doubt.) Have heard a few remixes that Stan (from the band) has done and he's like Ulrich Schnauss in the sense that he does have that knack of fixing up and perfecting other artists music, yet to his own stylings.
You can download it for free but I don't have the link handy at the moment.
