Jamie's Album Recommendations

Heavy Rotation

Deerhunter - Microcastle (2008)
shoegaze, ambient, indie

One of my favorites this year.








Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing (2008)

electronic noise, ambient

Nick, this is what we listened to in Montreal that you said you liked (and I recall you wanted to start a band based on this style).






Flying Lotus - Los Angeles (2008)

They call this experimental hip-hop. Kind of sometimes ambient, tribal space beats. Very short ideas make it more tolerable than if they had been turned into top 40 rap beats.





Guilty Pleasures


Kings of Leon - Only By The Night (2008)
rock

It's kind of lame bro music but I like it every now and then.

  1. weshotjr.com, a DFW area indie music blog, asked of kings of leon, "When did it become cool to sound like a watered-down Peter Gabriel record?"

    those are pretty sharp images of record covers. where did you find them?

  2. The first one is from wikipedia and the others are from amazon.

    kings of leon doesnt really satisfy any progressive taste in music but i actually enjoy the guys voice and they can rock sometimes.

  3. i think Leon was the name of one of the lizard brothers from Rocko's Modern Life.
