Animal Collective - Centipede Hz
I don't know, I just...don't know.
I like them, and I can understand people's dislike for them. As for the album, it's good: to what degree, I'm not sure. But I can definitely envision Centipede Hz pushing people away. With their last four albums, I've found at least one major highlight on each such as We Tigers, The Purple Bottle, Fireworks, and Brother Sport. I'm not sure there's one on here yet; Father Time is slowly getting additional replays.

Dan Deacon - America
Justice - †
It's better than I remembered it.
Justice - Audio, Video, Disco
It's more mediocre than I remembered it.
Jessie Ware - Devotion
She's got a purrrrty voice.
Swans - The Seer

Teengirl Fantasy - Tracer
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Mature Themes
Yeasayer - Fragrant World
Divine Fits - A Thing Called The Divine Fits

Animal Collective - Centipede Hz
I have the most assured feeling that no one else in here will care except maybe Solace. And even then, I'm not even sure.where you'd stand, but I know you'd have a strong opinion.

As with Nick Lowe, most of the people past row 10 will chat during her set.
So true. I worry for those shows.
We might revere ourselves as some of the best fans. But there's plenty of douchebags and inconsiderate people that show up at Wilco and Jeff Tweedy shows, still. Even if you don't like My Morning Jacket, Andrew Bird, Joanna Newsome, Deerhoof, Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Yo La Tengo (I don't even know how I actually heard people try to talk over them), or Nick Lowe, as mentioned earlier, you should respect your fellow fans and artists. Thou shalt not talk over a performing artist.
And as for the dismissal, even if you don't like her story-writing (more so than songwriting), she's a great musician, and you should not ignore her musical proficiency. Why you gotta disrespect that girl that doesn't write traditional form songs, son?

Aesop Rock - Skelethon
El-P - Cancer For Cure
Underground rap day. Tyler The Creator does not count as underground rap.

Obviously, you guys don't see the big picture. Won't someone please think of the collaboration possibilities?

Passion Pit - Gossamer

Harmonica-based or closer-to-album arrangement of Sunken Treasure?

Close the motherfucker down. Football is way too important, particularly at Penn State. Everyone needs to know it is just a fucking game. The entire Penn State community closed ranks around JoePa. Even his family can't quite deal with it. At some point a university is supposed to be about educating people, not running high priced football programs. Take down the statue, close down the program for a couple years, and let them get back to the central mission of the university, then they can have football again.

To you, it's a game; to millions, it's a game, which is a business, which makes money, and kids go to college to get an education to make money (or at least what's left of people not in the upper classes do).
Penn State certainly seems to have some faulty morals and principles at work which are certainly educating the wrong message. And until then, the Penn State students should take a lesson seeing what happens when you're morally bankrupt: you'll continue to get shredded to pieces by the public and lose public endorsements. People lose faith in you.

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
The good stuff.

Impregnable Question, the hidden highlight or the obvious highlight?
-
Twin Shadow - Confess (widget link to stream whole album)
Immediately reminds me of things I liked from the 80s like Michael Jackson and Depeche Mode. It's sad that I only like one of those things now.

Definitely Handshake Drugs but maybe War on War too (not sure, actually got tied up with work, damn you work).
You omitted the part where they sung Happy Birthday to Woody Guthrie as a small segue to A Shot In The Arm.

This is definitely the stream to watch, not Vampire Weekend.

There used to be a guy around here that would do nothing but this and spelling corrections.
But if no one is around to correct other people, how will we ever tell what someone is trying to say and if they mean so?
Can't trust people, man: they have problem distinguishing their and they're.

Title track only so far. It is easily legally available for those who wanna listen. Total King Crimson or Dark Side era Floyd vibe. I liked their first album okay, but I am totally digging this. Cannot wait for the full release.
I liked it too.
I still think Solitude Is Bliss is a really catchy and great song.

California Stars probably with Andrew Bird.

The 20 Worst Hipster Bands
in Someone Else's Song

If by brutal, you mean very very incorrect, and I'm not even talking about their opinions, but facts. I find these reviews more pretentious than the actual bands themselves. What's even sadder is that I can't even pick up a lick of sarcasm as hard as I try.
How is this a discussion point?
You named it soul, not them. You also labeled it indie, not them. Way strawman them arguments.
Obviously great and penetrating critique on the music itself. It's so blunt and penetrating. Man, if Pitchfork needs to sharpen up their hate, they should pick it up from these haters.
All songs should be one eternal never-ending chorus, forever. I can just imagine it now. "Oops, I did it again. Oops, I did it again. Oops, I did it again."
Just more people trying to put down popular things to gain popularity. Seen that shit in high school.
If they're trying to pat themselves on the back, they're doing a good job. If they're trying to write an auto-biography and project it onto other musical figures, they're doing it very well.
This is the exact type of manufactured shit that keeps top 40 monotonous. This circular thinking. Man, if only my mind were that simple.
EDIT: Deriving humor from things that are false doesn't work. Please examine Stephen Colbert, Jon Steward, Louis C.K., and more.
