Mayer Hawthorne - How Do You Do

Stilol need to listen to this. I've heard/read mixed reviews... What do you think of it?

It takes a while to get it. At first it seemed like Lou Reed's and Metallica's styles clashed, so I'd hear it either as Metallica songs with odd beat poetry, sprechgesang vocals or else as Lou Reed songs with oddly inappropriate metal riffing in the background. Once you stop hearing them as Metallica songs or Lou Reed songs, though, they become very compelling on their own terms. The best songs, IMO, are "The View," "Pumping Blood," and "Junior Dad." The latter is actually quite touching in an odd way. The only one I dislike is "Brandenburg Gate."

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Rome

Nous non Plus - Freudian Slip

M83 - Hurry up, We're Dreaming

Zechs Marquise - Getting Paid

I'm sure there were some others, but that's what I've got for now.

Did they use the name from the character off Gundam Wing?

+1 DangerMouse + Daniele Luppi.

uncle acid and the deadbeats....blood lust

Late entry, I just got the Veronica Falls album, it's good.

-1 on Rome, guess i had too high expectations.. It was a bit boring and flat.

Bill Callahan - Apocalypse and Bon Iver is the only two albums i really remember.

My favorite album of 2011 was Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. It's an early frontrunner for 2012 too.

Haha you're, like, 45 years late, but nice choice!

Unduuuuun

Just got into Cults and The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient.
