MORE ALBUM OF THE YEAR BANTER

sure, Woolfy's good. but i want to focus my shout out on Deerhunter's Microcastle (and the Weird Era Cont. bonus disc that absolutely stands on its own). i am one of those assholes who downloaded the album a gazillion blog years ago (which in real life is like six months). however, i only did so after seeing them live. they were kinda horrible compared to the first time, but in their defense i must mention that the leading man, bradford cox, was very ill that night. anyways, i didn't want the element of surprise to be ruined, see? afterwards i proceeded to downloading and wore it out, but now, several months later we musn't forget that the record has an actual release date. which is... TODAY! yeah! awesome!

they call it ghost rock and why the hell not? this may not be mistaken for scary, it's rather haunting than frightening. have a listen to one of my favourite tracks on the album:

Deerhunter - Never Stops

Twilight at Carbon Lake, as featured on the second Oscillations mixdisc, is another favourite. you know, you can look at it as being ridiculous or superawesome that a song from an album yet-to-be released at that point, is already on a compilation altogether. i, for one, would like to welcome people to the digital age with a superawesome attitude because i sincerely believe in the networking possibilities of the internet. if it's good, (written) word will spread and your market expands vastly. maybe the percentage of people buying it will decrease, but there will be a mighty surge in the sheer number of listeners, which ofcourse never hurts for the touring aspect either. it's all good.
