It's the night, I can be who you like

Eeeeee! GIRL TALK INTERVIEW WITH PITCHFORK. Reeeaaaddd!

Being an avid reader of the LJ community, ohnotheydidnt, I came across a girl who posted pictures of her playing onstage with Weezer! I guess I still have a bit of affection in my heart for them. I recently burned a copy of the Blue & Pinkerton albums for a friend who had only heard crap Weezer, aka Bev Hills/Red Album. I feel like I made the world a slightly better place after I gave him the CDs. Anyways, if you want to see Rivers in all his moustachio glory, click.

So The Decemberists have decided to call their new album, Hazards of Love. Indeed, indeed. The first single drops October 14. Pitchfork for detailz.

Deerhoof has a new video out for "Chandelier Searchlight." I like it, the song I mean. I never really got into Deerhoof too much because their music I guess wanders too much for me? I think it varies too much for my main alternative tastes. But they're still enjoyable. Stereogum has the vid & downloadable MP3.

Okay so seriously, LISTEN TO FRIGHTENED RABBIT. They are so good. Also, I know I've mentioned them before, but if you didn't listen to me then, listen to me now & LISTEN TO SEABEAR. They're from Iceland, so you know they have to be good. Maybe there's something in the ICE that makes Icelandic music so good? Haha...

I'll stow away my grays

While I would like to say that I am doing something incredibly fascinating in my periodic absences from this blog, the truth is, I am not. I am having fits of anxiety (which apparently is the root of my bruxism), eating lots of cookies, & talking about how much I have to do instead of actually doing it. But tomorrow I'm skipping school on my mother's leave so I have a pause to say holla.

Here is an immensely satisfying video of Lykke Li & the boys from Bon Iver making pretty music together:

Here is a less satisfying video of Snow Patrol & their new single, "Take Back The City." You can watch it anyways though, like I did. Maybe it's just me, but they seem to have gotten more... superficial in they're writing, lyrically & musically. Idk though, I'm no Snow Patrol fanatic/expert. [Source]

I came across an interview with MGMT on doing ecstasy & the creative writing process; muy interestante. [Source]

So someone recommended I give Frightened Rabbit a listen. I've never heard of them (I don't really recall them getting any exposure from Pfork/Sgum) but when I listened to them, I really liked what I heard. Pitchfork gave their album that came out April of this year, an 8.1, if that is the sort of thing to make you more inclined to give them a listen. You should. Regardless.

Omgomgomg, NEW DECEMBERISTS SONG! However, before you get too excited, I have to say that I am not overly impressed. It's still nice, just not up to their "O Valencia" standards, but that's just me. What do you think? [Source]
