i drove home from VT last night, so i had a lot of quality time with my ipod to catch up on music listening. among the albums that kept me company through the night:
MGMT - Congratulations: didn't do much for me. the 1960's farfisa-life organ bugged. i can almost appreciate what they were trying to do, but that doesn't mean it makes for an interesting album.
The Dead Weather - Sea Of Cowards: need another listen. some good moments but nothing that really stuck with me. main thing that i remember from my first listen-through is "yup, sounds exactly like what i'd expect a new dead weather album to sound like".
Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record: amazing, best thing i heard all night. loved the synths. can't wait for the june shows.
The Temper Trap - Conditions: yes, i'm behind the times on this one. better late than never... at times sounded like an indie'r (and generally more interesting) version of coldplay.
Yeasayer - Odd Blood: weirded me out. i wasn't in the mood for it, so i bailed three songs in. will have to try again.
... and a bunch of electronic sh*t that your delicate tastes are probably better off not hearing about.
