UPDATE: After listening to their album in it's entirety, all the way through, I've realized that Cousins is pretty much the only jam I have any love for.
2010 is pretty spiffy thus far. So I think I officially enjoy Vampire Weekend now. I had beef with them before but then I saw a clip of their live performance from Pitchfork and I fucking loved it and now I watched their music video which was amazing and now I like them. Anyway, here it is for your enjoyment:
So let's talk about some new jamz that are heading to CR1 this week:
We have an amazing new record from Beach House and I'm really really digging it. It's pretty and beautiful but not too boring. We also have a new-ish record from JEFF the brotherhood who are pretty awesome. Let's keep talking though, because there's tons of other awesome things like one of my favorite bands released an LP. If you liked the Soft Pack EP that was released last year, be sure to check out their new LP released on Kemado records. It's not nearly as good, but it's still fun. And of course, I'm sure plenty of you are excited about the Motion City Soundtrack record that was just released. Pretty exciting adds. I like having good adds coming in to the studio. There will probably also be an awesome debut LP from one of my new favorite bands called Sleepies.
And you shouldn't forget about all of the awesome stuff that we still have in CR1 like Animal Collective's Fall Be Kind EP, Real Estate's debut LP, and the new amazing record from Final Fantasy / Owen Pallett. Also there's a really great split from Truman Peyote and Many Mansions filed in CR1 under "New Jamz". Many of you missed the wonderful jamz of Growlers and Willowz which both released awesome LPs at the tail end of 2009. Be sure to give those two records a listen because they are so worth it. And of course, there's still the Tom Waits record and the Black Keys' new project, Blakroc.
