Very Special Guest
I'm never going to update again. You should get all your new music from Fox News' star anchor and investigative reporter:
See you later!

Housekeeping
I didn't update today because I was too busy quitting my job and watching 9/11 conspiracy aggregation on the tel-ay. Also, the writing quality of several of my previous posts is abysmal, so expect some improvement when you're an older and closer to being deceased.
Big house-warming at my new apartment tomorrow. Hopefully I can find some cash so that I can pay to continue to live in it!
Hahaha, you just got owned by E/N content.

Bark to the Future
Delorean- Ayrton Senna EP (Released 2009 on Mushroom/Foolhouse)
Monsoon
Ahh, hump day. If you're looking for something to impress people at whatever social gathering you're going to over the weekend, check out Barcelona's Delorean. Explosive dance pop with nothing but flashy synths and washes, there's nothing better than drinking a few wine coolers and getting down to this EP. If I could make a wine cooler that fits my personality, I'd call it "lilac-berry." Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Oh, and the title of this post is if Delorean ever replaced all their vocals with dogspeech.
The EP only has 4 actual songs with some re-mixes, but they're good. And I like them, so give it a download and if you like it you can just put it on your iTunes and go pump some iron, you musclemen.
Groovey Protein shake of the disco soul

Zoo music, girl
Wildbirds and Peacedrums (The Snake- Leaf Records 2009)
Song: There is No Light
Have you ever wanted to hear the intersection of desolate African tribalism and Swedish avant-garde sound? Wildbirds and Peacedrums, a duo bound to get enormous praise when they top Pitchfork's best albums of 2009, compose frightening songs guaranteed to increase the pressure on your guts and organs (Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!). There is No Light has the singer, Mariam Wallentin, acting as a shamaness. Her frantic cries warn the listener of a coming apocalypse, portending that Mariam has been reading all the tea leaves and looking at the storm clouds and only see annihilation. The rest of the album is just as dark and brutal, with the only hope for respite coming from the listener holding on to the drum rhythmns for dear life.
What's interesting is how viable the two person (Often male and female, but not always) drum and other combo has been. Whether electronically with the Knife, or for more twee-pop with Mates of State, whatever music deity exists in the universe, it seems to be BEAMING a lot of creativity into these minimalistic duos capable of creating music more powerful than most 5 pieces. Also, you get the impression that the drummer from the Dodos, Vampire Weekend and Andreas Werliin from Wildbirds and Peacedrums were all penpals as children.
Here's the album!

The Dead Weather
Sometime this summer, I took a whimsical journey to see The Dead Weather. My friend worked at their label, so I bought the band some delectable Laurent-Perrier champagne, but I gave it to a security guard so hopefully they got it.
Here are some pictures of deceased precipitation (I'm an idiot):
NEXT TIME I'M GONNA PUT THIS SHIT (ANAGRAMS) INTO FLICKR

The Fury of Poseidon
The Screaming Females - Power Move (Don Giovanni Records 2009)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm9M5N35G8k
My first exposure to THE SCREAMING FEMMES was before a Dead Weather concert, in Montreal, Quebec. I remember one of my good friends plying me with beer and Earth Peace before the concert to thank me for getting him free tickets to the show, when a girl dressed up in Little House on the Prairie garb stepped onto the stage and started Van Halen-ing all over the guitar (Needs a Shamwow Snuggie to clean up, you roll over it). These guys were Dinosaur Jr., life-sized tumbleweeds of fuzz all over the guitar sound, fronted by an out of her time period, yelping china doll. I cannot say whether or not you'll like the album (Featuring only one larynx straining DOUBLE X Chromosome in the actual group, the bass and drums are rhythming dudes), but they fucking destroyed my face, and the audience sat in awe at how noisey, punky they were. Also, devastating guitar solos being played by someone with extremely tiny, probably very soft, hands. Excellent stuff, haven't stopped listening to them. The sound/style isn't 100% original but it is at the very least very, very rocking and refreshing at a time when indie is at its most wimpy. DON'T BRING UP ANY "SCENES" BASED ON PEPE LEPEW, S'IL TE PLAIT!
Also, here's the entirety of their new album!
