Boss Stuff on the Interwebs: Wednesday Links 16/03/11
Your musical education continues with Neon Filler's list of the top 100 indie/alternative albums of all time.This week: 60-51 (including Bon Iver and my favourite Modest Mouse album).
Fellow Canucks be proud: Spinner looks at the invasion of Canadian music at SXSW including Broken Social Scene, Feist, and The New Pornographers. But it's "aboat" not "aboot", Stuart.
The National has a new song Think You Can Wait, and it confirms my long-held belief that Matt Berninger just wants everyone to cry and moodily drink whisky all the time. Hear it at Stereogum.
My former flatmate's favourite musician was Joanna Newsom, and--swear to God-- she once casually uttered the phrase "I find dirt really interesting." So the suggestion that she may have once "considered befriending a squirrel" seems pretty dead on. Flavorwire will hilariously stereotype you, too, by your favourite indie band.
Dance-punk/ noise rock duo Death From Above 1979 has reunited, is rehearsing for Coachella, and is testing out a badass bass-cam video. As cool as that sounds, Dominic at This Moving Picture manages to make it sound even cooler.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Sunnybrook a band who describes their sound as "your running through a field of dandelions laughing uncontrollably". Sunnybrook you need to come to my parties. And bring whatever it is that made you write that. (Universal Yellow Keys)
I've had a complicated, shitty week, so I genuinely appreciate Young Minds'Change of Pace (no pun intended). It'sa catchy lo-fi track that will make the world feel simple and upbeat for two and a half minutes. Thanks to guerolitomusic for the tranquilizer.
Any music posted is for sampling purposes only. If you like anything you hear on this blog, please support the artist by buying their music. Then maybe send them an e-mail of encouragement because money can't give them the warm fuzzies like a nice letter can.
If you represent an artist on this site and would like a song removed, e-mail me. I'll tear the song down and buy you a beer. Then we'll become best friends, I just know it.
You are too good to me! Thanks also wanted to send you my band but I don't know how so I'll post it in here. thanks again
