Musical Thoughts
Dec. 22nd, 2010 01:18 pmPandora has a new "Indie Rock" station I've been enjoying. It's reminded me of several tracks I used to adore but haven't listened to in recent years. It's also reminded me of my HATRED for certain indie rock darlings, namely Animal Collective and Joanna Newsom. RANDOM SCREECHING SOUNDS ARE NOT MUSIC!
The person who compiled this station also has an unhealthy fixation with Björk. Remember, kids: Björk is fine every once in awhile, but don't overdo it! Moderation is key. Also, be sure to stay hydrated and listen with a buddy.
So what has everyone else been listening to? Any music recs? What were your favorite albums/songs of the year?

I listen to a lot of internet radio (like Pandora) and troll through The Hype Machine, and tend to find a lot of new stuff that way.
I don't think I would hate Animal Collective as much as I do if I hadn't heard SO DAMN MUCH hype about them a few years ago when they first broke. I had one friend in particular who was INSUFFERABLE about them being the GREATEST BAND EVER. I am nothing if not stubborn, and the best way to get me to hate something is to mention it to me over and over again. :)~
