YES...homework done, can i have a juice box and go outside and play now?
Putrifiers II is just what I needed. It's like the album I always wished Deerhunter would come out with. But Thee Oh Sees did it and hit it out of the park. This is just what I needed. I could listen to "Will We Be Scared" forever.
Animal Collective - Centipede Hz Why? - Mumps, etc.
and the album I'm surprised nobody is talking about around here because I've been blown away by it,
David Byrne and St. Vincent - Love This Giant
Seriously, it's like the lost Talking Heads album. I was hoping for more of a St. Vincent affair because I was worried about David Byrne's ability to write a pop album in 2012, but holy shit. I'm sure they wrote the songs together but this is all David Byrne, all day, and it's fucking fantastic. "Dinner For Two" has been in my head for a week.
