Heartbreaks and 808s?




let down


and by the way:
i am pretty sure it is easy to rap (i.e. rhyme words rhythmically and phonically to a beat) when you end EVERY line in the first verse with the same word, "yo."

also,

vocoder and auto-pitch sound stupid on raspy screamed lyrics.


small props:
taiko drums.

Harmony Korine Zines

Harmony Korine made some zines with Mark Gonzales 15 years ago.



Drag City is putting them out as an anthology due November 18th.

Pretty weird.

DROP CROTCH!


It's not a silhouette for the stubby legged, but if you're lean and tall enough to breath gods air then you're set to rock a this look. Its surprisingly versatile depending on materials. Girls, look out for this look in denim.

Two SMASHING points of contention

Billy Corgan is a whiny bitch

and James Iha is way more nautical that I thought he was

Grizzly Bear talk new album (and it's about damn time)


that's Ed Droste.

He told Drowned in Sound (who told Stereogum, who told me)
that they--GRIZZLY BEAR--are nearly 80% done with the tracking for their new album.
here are the details I filtered out:
+there's a children's choir on a few songs
+the drums will be more prominent
++Chris Bear (drummer) is producing again


this is what Ed says: "I can't tell you how excited we all are about it. It's definitely got more variety, higher highs and lower lows. [It's] much more dynamic and [has more] breadth in sound, not to mention a much more collaborative approach to the songwriting. With Yellow House, most of the songs were individually written by either Daniel [Rossen, guitarist] or myself beforehand and then brought to the table, whereas a lot of these were written as a band or brought in at very primitive levels and then fleshed out together, which means more shared lead vocals and back and forth interplay between everyone."

here is "two weeks" on letterman again
cause it is just THAT good

Ponytail!

If Battles and Deerhoof had a lovechild
and then fed that lovechild massive amounts
of sweet treats
and then set it loose on a tropical island

it would be Ponytail

Duhmb, or: Politically Inactive People should stay on the internet

I would have much rather not voted (which i didn't)
than be one of the many voters, like the kids in my Comp class, who were totally uninformed.

in an effort to stay informed about the topics that interest me on election day
i hopped over to pitchfork.tv to watch some "news"


this is what they gave me:




DUHMB.
