stream: the mountain goats – all eternals deck (2011)

28 02 2011

to say all eternals deck is a more subdued mountain goats, john darnielle sounding more restrained than in recent releases, is to miss the point of the album entirely. darnielle’s provocative and highly literate lyrics have always been the driving force behind any of the mountain goats’ albums, every bit as reflective as they are intimate. to ahve the man explain it in his own words:

If you have ever watched say a 70s occult-scare movie where one of the scenes involves a couple of people visiting a storefront fortune teller, getting their cards read, and then trying to feel super-hopeful about what they hear when what they’re visibly actually feeling is dread, then you have a pretty decent idea of what the album is all about. If you know the feeling of exultation that comes with having recognized the oncoming train of fate, then that’s the other thing the album’s about.

stream the all eternals deck (due out march 29) over at npr (of course).

free ep: luminary youth – weekend dreams (2011)

28 02 2011

luminary youth is a great new project from the man behind heart collapse, a band who was our first spotlight on weworemasks (the dot com version). panda posted his previous EP here and now we have a different sounding EP to bump in our cars. this new one is more hip-hop driven, definitely sample based and all good. download/stream it at bandcamp.

video: saigon – the color purple (2011)

28 02 2011

video’s weird for a couple reasons: this song is old as hell and it’s not even on his album. what gives? either way, positivity can’t be a bad thing, right?!

manchester orchestra – simple math (2011)

28 02 2011

well, hell yes. here we have the first taste of the atlanta group’s 3rd studio LP, dropping may 10th. loving the cover, and you could probably guess that man-o has flipped the script yet again. “simple math” is pacing and a downtrodden cut, and i’m definitely looking forward to the album now. give em’ an email, get the mp3/watch the lyric video.

video: lykke li – i follow rivers [acoustic] (2011)

28 02 2011

“acoustic” is a hasty way to put it. this video has much more to offer. the always endearing lykke li gives an “alternative” take of a performance of her latest single from wounded rhymes, which drops tomorrow. awesome blossom, extra awesome.

kanye west, mos def & lupe fiasco – impromptu freestyle (2011)

28 02 2011

while a headlining set at jazz club the blue note this past saturday, the robert glasper experiment had a few tricks up their sleeve. lupe fiasco hit the stage (to be backed by the band) and played a mini set consisting of about 8 songs (mostly old) to the delight of the lucky concert goers. if that wasn’t enough, yeezy and mos def came by to skidaddle on the mic for about 7 minutes and be adlibbed by lupe. the audio of that bit has surfaced for you all to enjoy.

while this is cool, i’d be more excited if proper video footage of lupe and the band doing songs like “daydreamin,” and “dumb it down” surfaced.

28 02 2011

what is this i don’t even? 2011: a gaga space odyssey? this is the most nonsensical shit i’ve ever seen and i like most to all of gaga’s old videos. instead of writing about it, i’m gonna go ahead and list off a bunch of memes to describe the way i feel:

-exhibit a
-exhibit b
-exhibit c (and most important)

interview: tidal arms (2011)

25 02 2011

We’ve been all about this band as of late. we introduced them to you not too long ago. They recently stopped by Houston, TX to perform to about 1000 people as support for Glassjaw. We were excited, they were excited. We arranged to meet these guys up at a friendly neighborhood bar across the street from warehouse live (shout out to Woodrow’s and that really corny waitress who kept interrupting us!) and they were nothing but awesome, friendly and lively. The dynamics of all three of us and the band seemed to mesh well, as you’ll see in this fairly entertaining interview.

The guys talked about touring, their new album and their future plans for the year. Hit the jump for the goods, and be sure to check out their website, for the latest and greatest in the Tidal Arms camp.
