May 2009
Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks.
I blast this song and whistle and sing out loud in my car without any shame.
The Cardigans - Explode.
The Cardigans are one of those underrated bands out there. They’re more than just “Lovefool.”
Radiohead - Airbag.
OK Computer is one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s cliched, perhaps, but I love that fucking album.
Animal Collective - Taste.
One of my favorite songs off Merriweather Post Pavilion.
My dad’s finally coming home from renovating their new house in LA after two months. Now that I have a 9-5 job and have to take my mom to work at 11 and pick her up at 7, sleep’s been kinda hard to attain. On top of that, I’ve pretty much had to take care of all the chores my dad did.
As much as I’m happy he’s coming home, I’m so fucking tired right now — and his flight arrives at O’Hare at midnight… Fuck. If I fall asleep at the wheel, you can have my Mac.
Los Campesinos! - We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives.
Did you know they’re already working on a new album? Cripes, three albums in two years…
Menomena - Wet and Rusting.
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?? (Postal Service Remix).
Lykke Li - Tonight (Dntel Remix).
Ah, Lykke Li and Dntel together. What more can you indie kids want? Oh, and it’s available for download on Dntel’s site (under the audio section).
Radiohead - Stop Whispering.
The Clash - Clampdown.
The Shins - Mine’s Not A High Horse.
