Afternoon Naps - Sunbeamed

bun-bun is a little much,
and the end is near is pretty bland
but postcard and winter olympics
are so good.

the cold has come back.
and so have i to boston.
sometimes i think im in love.

The Radio Dept. - Heavens On Fire

i wanted to post this a while ago
because it is fantastic-feel-good-fun,
but not overwhelmingly saccharine.
however, i was too upset to post such a thing.
you see i try to keep this blog as honest as possible.
and although i still do not necessarily feel especially
connected to this ep at the moment,
i know it must be shared.
(assuming you dont already have it of course)

Parenthetical Girls - Safe As Houses

this is one of the most haunting albums
that i have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
i remember when it first was released back in 2006,
it completely blew me away.
yet every time i listen to it again, new subtleties
and nuances reveal themselves.
true horror and grace.

Immanu El - They'll Come, They Come

i think that you are very romantic
and i hope that someday i will be able
to wipe away your sleep droolies.

this album is gorgeous.
i havent listened to their most recent release, moen, yet.
apparently, they traded a whole wallop of atmosphere
for indie pop patterns.
whatever.

The Arctic Flow - All The Way Until December

i should change my name to this flowing flow
because clearly every band that features the word "flow"
is destined for ultimate righteousness.
at least the arctic flow and this empty flow
would seem to indicate that.
and everyone knows that two pieces of overwhelming
evidence is more than sufficient.

right.
this lp is fantastic.
what a talented man that
Brian Hancheck is.
and he released "all the way until december" for free too.
oh, to be talented and generous.

i wish i could write something more appropriate
and sing my praises properly. just believe me
when i say that you ought to download this.

ps. alsp make sure to re-check out other releases on this label.
gift after gift after gift after gift.

False Jesii – Ripped Jeans

well, i am a failure.
this ep is quite nice though though, super noisey lofi bedroom pop.
and it is free.

yesterday i thought it would rule to shave
and listen to old m83, and it totally did.
however, today i found that what was once a thin gossamer
of peach colored peach fuzz has been replaced
by an angry red rash.
my face both looks and feels terrible.

tonight i played, and like my face, it basically was a disastrous mess.
i made seven copies of my ep and could hardly even give them away.
a series of trash cans have certainly acquired a new plastic meal through this endeavor:
the countless hours of my stupid efforts.
i am sure that the upcoming battle of the bands will yield
equally fantastic results.
anyway keep your eyes peeled mtv, it is only a matter of time now...
