EURO-POP

Drunk. Brought to you by... about 5 Stella's, some jager, some patron (i feel like i'm missing an accent), and some Coors....

I got my Lykke Li records from Sweden! Really pumped about it. I almost ruined them, but i didn't. Just so you know.....

AUTECHRE.

What else? Oh yeah! Lykke Li is playing SXSW. And you know what?! I'm considering spending way too much money to see her, because i love her that much. I'm not actually going to do it, but i'm considering it......

Róisín Murphy. Hot. Irish. Redhead. Good singer. That's all you need to know.

I'M IN MY EURO-POP PHASE JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS.

NEW KYLIE IS AMAZING. "X". GET IT.

This might be a lot of Panda Bear....

This post is brought to you by two 16 oz. Coors (with Frost Brew Liner) on an empty stomach.

SO FUNNY STORY. My car broken got into the other night. Motherfucker didn't get anything but half a pack of cigarettes and my lighter. He TRIED to steal by CD player, but thankfully, i have a bad ass CD player, and it's virtually unstealable. Anyways, the only thing was he tried to rip off the face plate, so now i can't use any of the buttons to change anything.

Here's the best/super hilarious part.... So at the time of the attempted stealing of my CD player Panda Bear's Person Pitch was in the CD player, and the volume was REALLY loud, because i was rocking out when i had come home from work on Monday night. Well, now i have Person Pitch playing on repeat, with no ability to eject the CD, change the track, or turn the volume down. I will be blasting Panda Bear for................ who knows how long....... it's like a sitcom, except happening to me in real life.

Good thing i'm really into Panda Bear right now, or i'd be REALLY FUCKING PISSED, YOU CRACKHEAD ASSHOLE.

SOBER POST: This Week's Last.fm Chart Analysis/I'm bored and need something to do

Panda Bear - 94 listens
I recently purchased Person Pitch on CD, and it's been in heavy rotation. The heaviest even above Lykke Li. That's surprising... and Person Pitch has only 7 tracks, so wow...

Lykke Li - 76 listens
Nothing needs to be said that hasn't been said already. (see last 3 posts)

Prinzhorn Dance School - 47 listens
Weird British duo. Think of a deconstructed White Stripes, with heavy accents, and no rock guitar, just bass and drums. But it's good..

Gui Boratto - 42 listens

Minus the Field's album, Chromophobia is the best Kompakt Records release in the last year.

Boards of Canada - 39 listens

I don't even remember listening to BoC this week.... strange....

My Bloody Valentine - 28 listens
You Made Me Realise, Isn't Anything, and Loveless.

Kylie Minogue - 22 listens
I have no shame in admitting that i like Kylie or that i anxiously awaited this new album, entitled X, which is excellent.

Amon Tobin - 21 listens
Bricolage. Excellent album from '97. Gavin really like this, so i've been playing it at the coffee shop a lot.

Efterklang - 21 listens
One of those bands i've heard of for forever, but just recently got around to listening to. Danish band. Think like Sigur Rós mixed with more electronics? maybe? I don't know, i need to listen to them some more.

Squarepusher - 20 listens

Hell yeah, Squarepusher. I feel like 15 of these 20 listens are probably "Theme From Ernest Borgnine" off of Feed Me Weird Things, but i could be wrong.

Radiohead - 20 listens
In Rainbows. Twice

Hot Chip - 19 listens
New Hot Chip. Made in the Dark. And it sounds like it was MADE IN THE DARK because it's MEDIOCRE. Hoowah! *I high-five myself*

Autechre - 18 listens
Probably just Draft 7.30.

The Breeders - 15 listens
I've broken out Last Splash at work a couple times.

Burial - 13 listens
Wow, i'm stopped listening to Burial everyday.... when did that happen?

Lykke Li has me at a loss...

Okay, i need to be serious for second with you guys. Lykke Li has done a number on me. She's bewitched me with her cute dancing and weird bun in her hair. I don't know what to do. I can't stop thinking about her. I can't stop watching this video. All i can think about is having Swedish babies with her. What am i supposed to do?

I'm not sure i've fallen in love this intensely with anyone before. I don't know what to do. I mean, sure, i'm drunk, and have no perception of reality, but whatever!

Lykke is the perfect woman/person/human being/female companion i'd like to have relations with. Don't judge me.

Have you watched the video yet? JUST DO IT. What's the deal?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

LYKKE FUCKING LI, YA'LL


This post brought to you by a Thrashers victory/obscene amounts of many kinds of beer.

Look. I don't know what to tell you. Learn how to download torrents. Get Lykke Li's album. Watch the "Little Bit" video over and over and over, and just fall in love with her like i have. Just do it. Stop asking questions.

I don't care if it's costs you $30 something dollars to get her album shipped to you here in the states. DO IT> JUST FUCKING DO IT IT"S SO FUCKING GOOD I CAN"T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT I WANT TO MARRY HER AND HAVE HOT SWEDISH BABIES.

Is that wrong to say out loud?

SOBER POST: Thank you, God, for Swedes



This is Lykke Li. I love her.

::Next day edit:: It has now been 24 hours since i first heard the voice of Lykke Li. I have listened to her album Youth Novels at least 6 times, and i've watched the above video about 20 times. I cannot get enough.

KOMPAKT. YES.

This post is brought to you by a couple Brooklyn lager something or others, and about 3 or 4 Coors? With the Frost Brew Liner? Yes.

SO. Let's chat about some tunes, yes? Yes.

I listened to the new Hot Chip today. It's entitled Made in the Dark. First impressions. Good, but not as good as the first one.... whatever it was called. I'm drawing a blank... The Warning! That's right.

Two Kompakt albums you need to know about!!!!!! (ps. Kompakt is an amazing label based out of Cologne, Deutchland. I can't remember my German, how do you spell that again? Duetchland? fuck.

Hug - Heroes
Gui Boratto - Chromophobia

Both delicious. Gui Boratto especially. (ps. The Field is a Kompakt artist. Amazing. Their best, probably.)

Also, any Efterklang album. Just go ahead and get it. If you like Sigur Rós or Amiina, just get Efterklang. Danes. Good people. Good music. Also Under Byen is a good Danish band.

And just for general information, Autechre rules. Draft 7.30 was the album that was finally able to make me take Untrue by Burial out of the CD player in the car. That's a big deal. I've been listening to Draft 7.30 nonstop now. On repeat. In the car. It hasn't left the CD player since i got it at Criminal however long ago that was. I"M GOING TO BED I"M FUCKING TIRED.

I will probably listen to Gui Boratto while i fall asleep. Because that's what i put on. And it's too good to turn off. JUST BUY EVERYTHING ON KOMPAKT RECORDS> IT"S GOOD>

Night. night.
