An Earful of Caribou
Caribou has been playing on my ipod for quite some time now. Idk why it is I like it so much, but I think it's the weird mix of unconventional sounds and overall catchiness. Canadian group Caribou describes their genre as "psychedelic" and really that's probably the only word that can describe their particular approach.

An Earful of Hipster Rave
I'm usually not a fan of that outwardly hipster nu-rave dance shit, but I have always been a sucker for Culture Prophet. This music video was just produced by a student and it is amazing. The editing must have taken 2w3523523 years, but it was well worth it.
Check it:
It starts off a little bit slow, but just appreciate the cinematography mayne. This is way beyond the boundaries of sickening.

An Earful of Home
Remember the poppy-synth-y schizo-mania of Ima Robot? Enter Alex Ebert, vocalist of Ima Robot. After a tragic breakup, Ebert realized that he was sent unto earth to be the ale to the corruption of mankind. He took on a nom de plume in an alternate character: Edward Sharpe. Thus, the birth of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Sharpe is described as a man who has a duty to save mankind, but on the way, gets distracted by shitloads of girls. Sound familiar? His tunes are home-y, much like his song, "Home." and they are all reminiscent of something you can't quite put your finger on.

An Earful of Reviews
Here are my latest feelings towards the most recent crop of the music industry...
3. One Life Stand-- Hot Chip
This album was a huge disappointment after the infectiousness of "Ready for the Floor." Their tunes are more mellowed and less frenzied, more commercialized than original. There's nothing sadder than seeing good bands get lost in fame. This album was a huge letdown for me. "One Life Stand" doesn't even sound like the title of a Hot Chip song. It sounds more like a cheesy soap opera.
2. Transference-- Spoon
This album was solid. The thing I like about Spoon is that they are very consistent with their music. Their style never strays. Still the same ol' gritty rock sound I fell in love with.
1. Of the Blue Colour of the Sky-- Ok Go
I am in love with this album. It's a little less pop-ish and a little more modern-indie than the stuff they've done in the past and I like that. You can tell that more thought was put into this album, whereas their stuff before was less polished. Their riffs are tight, the melodies even tighter, and some of the harmonies are hella complex. "Needing/Getting" specifically struck me. It's such a solid indie rock anthem.
This is so so so sick.

An Earful of Nu Boy-band
These are power boy-bands in the best sense of the word. Not the JT/Backstreet Boys type of boy-band. But the good, indie, boy-band. Like the kind of music where you can listen through a whole song without feeling the slightest bit homo.
kinda sounds a bit like Beirut
And just because....you can never have too much DUB
