Plants and Animals - Bye Bye Bye
chris on April 22 2014
This post is a reminder. Alex and I have discussed, and Parc Avenue by Plants and Animals can very well be a top ten album. I'm talking one of those start to finish albums that can compete with the greats. To induct an relatively current album into the hall of greats, it has to have that staying power. And let me tell you this my friend, this album is a fucking banger for life.
Sylvan Esso - Play It Right

Sometimes I feel like the genre of music I love is evolving into something I don't really enjoy listening to. All my spot on music sources have since moved onto either punk garbage, absurdly minimal music, or white people hip hop. I suppose my aural aesthetics are getting old just like me. I remember feeling the same way when I first moved to NYC in 2006.. All I wanted to do was wear cargo camo shorts all the time. Cargo camo shorts are just not cool and out of fear of being judged by New York's Finest Fashion Police I shelved the camo cargoes. However as the fashion world turns camo cargoes inevitably will become fashionable again so my Abercrombie cargo shorts from 2001 wait patiently in my closet. When the time does finally come I'll be rocking a sick pair of vintage camo cargo shorts.
Wild Ones - Paia

I was carrying a guitar in a case down the street a couple weeks ago, and let me tell you something. That shit's a woman magnet like I have never experienced. They had no idea that I can barely play a lick, but it didn't even matter. I had to duck around a corner to lose a few of them at one point. I may just start carrying around an empty case all the time.
