Sonic Youth - SYR9: Simon Werner A Disparu

How To Dress Well - Love Remains

zomg you totes beat Pfork by almost 2 full days!$!

 

maybe a bit high of a score but def think it deserves BNM

If I were using the Pitchfork scale, I'd score it around 8.6-8.9. It does deserve a lot of the hype it gets. Time to bet on something else, like Bob Nastanovich.

Not bad.

lol!

 

i like it a LOT, but def not my favorite on the year

After listening to it, XX's philosophy comes to mind, but nowhere comparable to XX. Going have to listen to it a couple more times.

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Hold on, let me listen to this and call this the best album of the year before it gets reviewed or called best album of the year by anyone else.

I'm curious as to what the awful lyric is in Racing Like a Pro. Can't think of anything that objectionable.

"Sometimes you bake a cake or something."

Sure, but I don't believe anyone in the band is named "White Stripes". The band is dead.

You're implying what constitutes the band has died. The concept of the band lives in eternity through the art/product/etc.

/nitpicking

Totally inaccurate thread title: none of them are dead.

Wow, I love this album. Makes me feel old, calling smooth jazz awesome.

 

Wire - Red Barked Tree

Although it's nothing ground breaking, I liked that a lot. It's a shame I haven't seen anyone else post this in the NP threads.

Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean

Good luck!

This is where I read it, don't know how reliable:

 

Destroyer link

Kaputt is streaming at hypem.com. I just ordered my copy today. I should probably also order the vinyl since it has 20 additional minutes of smooth jazz and Sade (not really).

Best Detroit related album cover evar. Still deciding on if it's the best Michigan related album cover ever.

it's pretty damn good imo, really excited to check them out here next month

I concur, minus the damn part.

This one has blown my mind. What an excellent and beautiful gem.

There aren't many things that scare me, but his face is pretty creepy (aside from the killing and whatnot). He reminds me of a conehead, except much less Dan Aykroyd. Now do you get how scary that is?

What? Why has Glock sales surged since Saturday?

Wire - Red Barked Tree

Deerhoof - Deerhoof Vs. Evil
