My favorite part about those full-page quicktime song things is making them play backwards and listening for Satanic messages or gay slurs. Another favorite of mine is Frightened Rabbit. They're one of the few bands whose sophomore album was as great as their debut. The direct lyrics and simple melodies make me realize that I'm a shitty musician and can't put together a song that is so...simple. Neither do I have the velvety voice of Scott Hutchinson. Anywayz, their new album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, drops in March 2010, but trust you me, I'll have that shit in your grubby little paws by January.

And for the album of the day, I leave you with Beck's Midnite Vultures. It just got re released or some shit that prompted me to listen to it again. It's a fucking masterpiece guys. Your eyes will blow up. I don't know why, but they will. Your ears will strangely be fine.

Coincidentally (you jabronis need to learn the difference between irony and coincidence), I got into Beck because of my first friends in North Carolina. They adopted me and threw me into the foray that is indie music. Starting with the Arcade Fire, I stopped listening to shitty music (The Darkness comes to mind). Anywhom, they hooked me up with Midnite Vultures. And today, aforementioned friends (now my heterosexual life partners) are back in town. We'll probably just play Super Smash Bros, but that's a good day in my book. Enjoy!

OHOHOHOHOHOH ANDDDDDDDD here's Beck's tribute to Harry Partch/slap in the face to that dude from the Fiery Furnaces. Way better than that Radiohead junk. It's actually done in the 43 tones that Partchy Partch used in his music.
