If God has his plan for me, then I will find out how to die and avoid it.

I saw Tame Impala last night and between their psychadelic pop and the psychadelic video show and the psychadelic fog machine, it was a pretty intense time. Also give Egyptian Hip Hop a spin, especially the song "Rad Pitt." Do not listen if you think it's going to he hip hop or Egyptian(?) music.

Deborah Remus

Off With Their Heads. Still bummed they got turned away at the Canadian border yesterday.

Gregory Robson

I saw Yellowcard last night. Pretty awesome live set, but it was The Wonder Years who really made the biggest impact. Also, been listening to Icarus the Owl.

Kelly Doherty

Wild Nothing's Nocturne, Old Gray's Everything I Let Go & The Things I Refuse To and all things Bon Iver.

I spent the better part of the week wishing Alice Glass was my best friend

Blake, I saw Tame Impala on Thursday and was underwhelmed. They overused effects on every aspect of their sound, leading me to think that, at times, they were not even playing their instruments. Also, I thought the projection was distracting, bland, and unoriginal.

That being said, I enjoyed the show. :wave:

RIYL Whirr, shoegaze-pop (member(s) of Pity Sex)


"Cold Rain" is actually one of the safer songs on the record, believe it or not. Lots of cool stuff going on the rest of the record.

The Staves
