There's a golf course behind my house and it was built over an Indian burial ground.. It's haunted I like to run it at night and listen to The Softest Voice - Animal Collective It adds to creepiness...

Gah, Sung Tongs is so good! My only problem with Campfire Songs is that its not Sung Tongs.

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Up From Below Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More Arcade Fire - The Suburbs Modest Mouse - No One's First, And You're Next Flying Lotus - Cosmo-GrammaOh yeah, and... Paul Simon - GracelandThis might be a little better: Dan Bern - Dan Bern Steve Burns - Songs For Dustmites Clem Snide - End Of Love Philistines Jr. - If A Band Plays in the Woods...? Snowglobe - Our Land Brains Residents - Duck Stab Chumbawamba - Un Brian Eno - Another Green WorldRegarding the Steve Burns album, I remember the review HG wrote, the first in the "album a day" thread. I recall reading Steve Burns was a children's show host, but didn't remember anything else about the review. Having read most of the other HG reviews, it's pretty obvious he likes children's music. So my brain did something like this, "children's TV host = children's music." I was picturing some John Denver Sesame Street shit. The first twenty seconds of the first track, "Mighty Little Man," starts out mellow, just like I thought. Then the song reached out, grabbed me by the back of my head, and slammed my face into a tree. That's not John Denver.

Oh Drew, first the Fleet Foxes debacle, now you are indirectly telling Gramma you don't read his album a day thread? You are not having a good afternoon. Page 5, A Record A Day.

I vaguely remember that review. Anyway, Record a Day was 10 pages deep by the time I started reading it, so I read all the early ones in an afternoon. I still haven't listened to most of those albums. BUT I'LL PICK UP CHUMBAWAMBA RECORD GODDAMNIT.

This place has gone nuts. Leave for two days and it's impossible to catch up. I can't wait for the lineup.

What'd you think about that Tennis album?

It's growing on me more and more. There are obviously the stand-out tracks but the others are taking some time. I'm starting to really enjoy it though. Yourself?

That's good to hear, nothing really stood out to me on the first listen, but it kind of felt like a grower. They were hyped quite a bit.

Really? I haven't heard anything about them. I just saw the album on a leak site and checked it out haha

I think I saw them on Stereogum's "band of the day" (is that stereogum?) and googled them and some blogs said they were the next big indie thing. But I guess without the big Pitchfork best new music endorsement they'll linger in obscurity!

::fist pound::
Have you heard the above mentioned song? It's my favorite of theirs yet it's never made it on an album, unfortunately.
