Lights out.

It was a good year but the lighthouse has run its course, it seems, so the light's finally burnt out. Thanks to all the assholes who steal music and justify it like we do on here, thanks to all the elitists who judged our tastes incessantly, thanks to the losers that posted comments and reminded us how bromo we are.

Super Mash Bros - All About The Scrillions

so i went from being a covers whore to a mashup whore

megapost to follow, enjoy this in the meantime

The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls in America

Rock and roll still exists. I have proof.

The Graduate - Only Every Time

holy shit we updated

this is really good indie-poppish punk

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World OST

we are sex bob-omb 1 2 3 4

aka we are beck writing half of this album

Adebisi Shank

Adebisi Shank pretty much mix math rock with fap rock (i.e. hair metal of the 80s.) so think like van halen mixed with maps and atlases and a touch of masturbatory plays.

have the first album
stream the second

Spokes - People Like People Like You

i feel like i use the word chill to describe too much of the music i post on here, but it doesn't make it any less true

provoke dem thoughts

Star Slinger - Volume 1

Self-proclaimed instrumental hip-hop artist, uses lots of samples and beats to make a great electrofuzzy sound

free dl from his site

Gameface - Every Last Time

pop-punk with a singer who's right out of hipster hee-haw

get it cause his crooning vocals and heartfelt emotion are very country but he writes about relationships under thin guises of different draperies like a boy and his guitar or two pirates yup yup joke

Place for Adam to Link the New Big Boi Cause I Can't Get a Link:

The Decemberists - Picaresque

of and referring to rogues and their swashbuckling adventures

Jesu - Conqueror

Justin Broadrick is a man who makes good music. You should listen to this album because he made it, therefore it is good.

not Godflesh

DJ n-wee (Jay-Z vs. Pavement) - The Slack Album

if you're looking at this blog then you likely enjoy jay and pavement so have some jayvement. might make a megapost of all the good mashup albums i know of soon so be on watch if you're interested

what more can i singe

Infant Sorrow - Get Him to the Greek

the soundtrack is better and more consistently funny than the movie, i'll say that much

fucking dcma complaints and their bullshit, buy link

Japandroids - Younger Us

sweet jamz

Outkast - Aquemini

When you get new music you like, you listen to it a lot because it is pleasing to you in some way (I know, profound). Because Illmatic is what got me into hip hop, no other hip hop album has been able to bring me the sustained satisfaction that Illmatic has. Then I discovered Aquemini. It's not Illmatic but it's damn close.

Big boi and 3000

Third Eye Blind- Third Eye Blind

And I remember when we used to spend the whole goddamn day in bed



Loooosing aaaaa whole yeeeeear

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism

a fantastic, emotional, chilled to ice alt rock release by a band i should have really gotten into years ago but never listened to my friends telling me to

i still hate ben gibbard though

The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound

Good ol' punk rock at its finest

r

The Flashbulb - Arboreal

Benn Jordan's sound has certainly evolved since Soundtrack to a Vacant Life. Though I'm hesitant to call Arboreal his magnum opus for the sole reason that I only own the two aforementioned albums, it's not a huge stretch of the imagination. Jordan combines pensive/ambient electronics with rugged and intricate beats to form a real work of art here. The instrumentation is less varied than on Soundtrack and I particularly missed the folky acoustics of tracks like "Steel for Pappa," but what Jordan loses from Soundtrack in transition to Arboreal he regains twofold through the sheer power and subtlety of his soundscapes. For sure one of the best yet of 2010.
