Missed this. I know though, I felt guilty until I fixed it. Which is good too, because I've been listening to a lot of Janet lately.
I've heard a few critics say the same though, that it doesn't quite work at times. I don't know, I'm stuck on it.
Alright, for you and Con:
1. Dirty Beaches' Badlands.
2. Alexi Murdoch's Towards The Sun.
3. Josh T. Pearson's The Last Of The Country Gentleman.
4. Kurt Vile's Smoke Ring For My Halo.
5. Tim Hecker's Ravedeath, 1972. Mostly instrumental, not sure if you two are into that.
Dirty Beaches' album is like left-field Jimi Hendrix meets Grouper, it's excellent. It's probably the only real "standout" on the list, but you guys are more into Indie Rock. I tend to be impatient with it because so much of it sounds the same. All of them have really nice songs but the albums as wholes tend to drone. But see for yourselves. I still have about fifteen albums to get through, I tried to get through all the Rock first so hopefully I'll have some different (and better) material next time.
And I just found out that The Foo Fighters and TV On The Radio both have new albums, but I'm sure you knew that.
