Variousthe world is gone It sounds like a Portishead for this decade, but with The Knife's atmospherics and more crunch. And i just want to glue my eyeballs to its artwork. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">

Delta 5singles & sessions 1979-81 This is a reissue. But still. The first song alone sends me flying across the room in a fury of dance. Mind your own biz.

Asobi Seksucitrus The first thing that comes to mind when this is mentioned is "light." The songs get loud, yet i always feel like a little wonky cumulus floating through jello. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">

Shopliftingbody stories They've improved alot as a band, finally adding melodies you can follow and even find... catchy! That drummer is amazing, she's the new one for Gossip. She's got rhythms. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">

Justin Timberlakefuture sex/love sounds Don't give a fuhh! It's packed full with interludes, but even they are good! Take a hint, Missy Elliott. Your behind got one too many slappy ass 'ludes on that last lp, girl. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">

Grizzly Bearyellow house Shit, put me on a desert island with this hunny of a record and lull me to sleep on a hammock... with every listen i hear something new, while the harmonies just get better. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">

Gossipstanding in the way of control Despite my fervent hatred for the album cover, this album is the catchiest album i've heard all year and live, it's one sweaty ass dance party i dont want to shower after. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">
03
Beirutgulag orkestar People like this make me want to puke: he's my age, has lived in other countries, can play various instruments expertly AND was hospitalized from tour exhaustion. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">
02
Joanna Newsomys I didn't like her earlier stuff before this. This blew my mind. The entire thing. Just saw her live and now i'm more obsessed. She'll always be underrated to me. <td><td width="99" valign="top"> </td> <td><td width="350" valign="top">
01
The Knifesilent shout Gives me the spooks and makes me want to dance at the same time. They are one of the few groups that make voice manipulation work; its unlike anything i've heard for awhile, going to go have sex to it.


edit: dec 8 alright, totally forgot Beach House. Fuck.

I just did that because my term's over and all i keep doing is smoking & eating cupcakes i made yesterday for no reason & stupid organization things like the tables above.

Camera's coming on friday according to the UPS tracker. Fuck, i don't know WHAT i'm going to do when it comes. I'll probably continue the aforementioned obese lifestyle, but instead, take pictures of it?
