I used to be sad, now I'm just bored with you

Is everyone excited for the Memorial Day Weekend? To celebrate, have lots of BBQ for eating & lots of Stereogum Memorial Day MP3 Mixes for listening! I will say though, tomorrow I shall be posting a muxtape with the same summer-ish/BBQ feeling theme. Tell me which one you like better. 

Speaking of another kind of weekend, Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij leaked a previous version of "Campus" that I must say I enjoy quite a lot. It may or may not be due to the fact that it's a lot more strings-heavy. Listen & d/l here. 

Along with Memorial Day, summer is also nearing on us! Pfork gives us a list of the festivals that are going on. If you live or are going to visit anyone of these places, I suggest you attend one of the many festivals that are going to happen. You can tell me all about it & make me a very jealous person. 

& now, I shall leave you with some Cure pictures & videos, compliments of someone over at ONTD. 

Come on skinny love

If you too, wish you were in Austin, Texas enjoying SXSW, you can pretend to be a part of it at Stereogum (not really diggin' the new layout to be quite honest) & Pitchfork. They have lurvelyyy updates about everything that those who are less fortunate, are missing out on. 

Discovery of the day!

My AP US history teacher from last year likes good music! Why is this such a discovery? Well because he isn't the type you'd really pin down as indie lover & also because you don't meet many people down where I live that likes something other than mindless provocative rap, Dragonforce, or country shiz. So to find out my former teacher is a big fan of The Shins?? I guess I was blinded by the workload he assigned. But now that I don't have him anymore, I can burn him those Cure albums he wanted without any bitterness.
