Just picked up Spoon's 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.' Here are two songs I like, a lot:

the underdog is a favorite of mine as well

I just got a copy of The Spirit of Apollo by N.A.S.A. It’s got some really cool guest rappers/singers (Kanye, Ghostface, RZA, ODB, Karen O, Meth, Tom Waits, Chuck D) and is pretty entertaining. The track “Way Down” is where yesterday’s song reference in title came from.

They probably just recycled some old recording.

yes. really!

it says 2007, colin rec’d it then, I just got around it

that’s very quick for me!

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

My favorite albums so far this year:

Thee Oh Sees – Help (it’s my avatar!)
The Strange Boys – Strange Boys and Girls Club
Woods – Songs of Shame
Obits – I Blame You

Also notable: Dirty Projectors, Here We Go Magic, Beirut (I like the new release more than his other stuff I’ve heard), These Are Powers, and Grizzly Bear (which I’m finally starting to enjoy more).

you forgot Animal collective

MEH.

I’m guess you’re insinuating something by this comment but I will reply seriously. I didn’t really care for the Animal Collective album. I don’t like the electronic turn they’ve taken. I still occasionally play Feels and Sung Tongs and enjoy them so much more than the last two albums.

I'm not the worl'ds biggest fan of Merriweather

but it’s the best I’ve heard this year. Strawberry Jam is my favorite, but I will agree that the slightly more organic sounds of those two do have an appeal.

also, its at least notable for a fan of Feels and Sung Tongs

Tom Waits is a rapper? WTF.

timely, Wiz.

still a good album though. i actually have it on vinyl. i haven’t listened to anything released in ‘09 for a while. i’ve been mostly going through old CDs, trying to listen to stuff i haven’t in a while.

Hum is still a great band.

yeah, downward is heavenward is a great album

i listened to glifted (tim lash project) a few years ago, and wasn’t that impressed. but pitchfork gave it like 9 point something…pitchfork must be on to something as always, clearly

Always bet on black!
