who?

no... why? haha.
a lot of people like why? i do.
so here is a project yoni did with andy broder (aka The Fog). there is a background story to this project.... it was made in a basement in two weeks and some other stuff. if you plan on buying the cd, don't be alarmed by the red marks on the cover. it threw me off and i thought the guy at the record store was a turd and marked my cd case. but he wasn't a turd, he was a person.
anyway, i REALLY like track one. the rest is okay. YES!

babies

if mum's 'Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy' had a baby with arcade fire.
sometimes i like this album, sometimes its just okay. just try to be in a good mood when you listen to this. and if you don't like it, its okay to be a hater. i'll suggest adding them on myspace and commenting on their page about how much they should stop making music and that you are glad you didn't waste your money buying this album... but you wish you wouldn't have wasted the time it took to download it.

celebration post II

when i heard about celebration putting out another album i had the feeling of what it was like having a roni. so very sweet.

celebration

is like yeah yeah yeahs plus TV on the radio. rad!
i actually bought this without knowing anything about the band. listened to 30 seconds of track one and thought it was garbage. but track 2 through the rest of the album is wonderfulness.
moral of the story: skip track 1.. yuk

Department of Eagles

i didn't know this until yesterday, but Daniel Rossen (grizzly bear) and college roommate, Fred Nicolaus, have a band together... and it also has an animal in the name.
their debut, 'the cold nose', was originally released in 1995, then released again last year with more songs. i only have the 1995 release... but i do have a few recent demo songs that should start some hype for their next release.

evangelicals

josh jones (of evangelicals) described 'The Evening Descends' like a meeting between marvin gaye and the rocky horror picture show.
my description: if evangelicals was a smoothie, it would taste like celebration, blonde redhead, and pears.

pit er pat

this album sounds like a dream i had once: there was a monster ripping people's heads off and putting the heads over other people's heads. it was a very frightening dream.... but don't worry, this album didn't provoke that dream. it just sounds like the music that would play in the background if that dream was a movie... a movie made for kids.
