Looking back at all my posts, I have basically just blogged about bands that I had heard about for a while but never got around to listening to. This band falls into the same category. Ra Ra Riot is a pretty sweet little band. I don’t really know anything about them except that they make some good music. I like it because it’s not your classic indie Interpol cookie cutter band.

My personal favorite:

This next song may sound familiar if you are obsessed with LP Discovery…That’s because “Can You Discover” is a cover of this song. I like the Ra Ra Riot version better. But that’s just me. Decide for yourself:

Download their album. You won’t regret it.

I’m not blown away…What do you think?

Last few weeks have been an interesting few for the band Polvo.  Stereogum features their song, Beggar’s Bowl, on their music player, and then Pitchfork, not to be outdone, features the song as, the “Best New Single,” or whatever those pompous asshole think no one has heard of that has a good melody.  Well, “Beggar’s Bowl is a good song, but check out their MySpace…they’re not that good.  Congrats Polvo, you struck oil, but it’s almost dried up.  I understand they didn’t want the pressure or immediate recognition from one of their songs, so I’ll have some sympathy when you never hear from them ever again.  Listen to Beggar’s Bowl, and by end, have a moment of silence and leave your condolences.

It certainly has been a while…about a weekend.  Well I was busy in East Lansing…but now I’ve got some stuff to share.  Specifically, my favorite music for the summer time weather.  I’m aware of a couple people’s hard drives who have gotten fried, and so I’ll do my best to assist you with the most pressing downloads.  Here on the site, we won’t give you the links to the torrents…but we’ll let you know what to download (and if we tell you what to download, trust us, there is a torrent). 

Discovery – LP:
They are psychic:

Devendra Banhart:

I just like how weird he is.  Period.  Freak Folk will always have a special place in my heart during the summer.  Get on a boat and jam out to:

I suggest you rush to nearest torrent dealer and pick up serious quantity in both Devendra and Discovery. I guess today was a D-day.
