Beach House - Norway

That dreamy feeling in every song and the strange layer of melody that made me put them on my iTunes heavy rotation playlist.

And the fact that i've booked a ticket for their show in Laneway Festival made me shiver and have a sudden euphoria.

Weezer - (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To

Dear God, please let Weezer come to Jakarta and i will be able to watch them live and if you can give a bonus, please let me shake the hand of Mr.Rivers Cuomo.
Amen.

listen to R.E.M - Discoverer

Well, whatever they do should be a must have for me. And the upcoming fifteen album "Collapse Into Now" are on my list to have on 2011.

With Accelerate we were trying to make a point by making the songs as short and as fast as possible … So we wanted this new one to be more expansive. We wanted to put more variety into it and not limit ourselves to any one type of song. There are some really slow, beautiful songs; there are some nice, mid-tempo ones; and then there are three or four rockers. - Mills

the rockers are Eddie Vedder, Patti Smith, and Peaches.

You can grab the first single "Discoverer" at the band's website.


Here’s the tracklist:
01 “Discoverer
02 “All The Best”
03 “Uberlin”
04 “Oh My Heart”
05 “It Happened Today” (feat. Eddie Vedder)
06 “Every Day Is Yours To Win”
07 “Mine Smell Like Honey”
08 “Walk It Back”
09 “Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter” (feat. Peaches and Lenny Kaye)
10 “That Someone Is You”
11 “Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I”
12 “Blue” (feat. Patti Smith)

WIN WIN Debut Track/Video Featuring Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzie Bougatsos

Great track rite?

read this:
Vice recently announced the signing of WIN WIN, the fun new synth-dance collaboration between Spank Rock producer XXXChange, Baltimore DJ Chris Devlin, and video collage artist Ghostdad. The group's self-titled LP will be hitting stores February 15th. Pitchfork premiered the first track from WIN WIN a couple of weeks ago, the slow pumping “RELEASERPM,” which features vocals from Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzie Bougatsos. “RELEASERPM” will also be released as a single on January 18th, with a Nadastrom remix as its b-side.
