What, are you listening too? (July 2012)

Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Really impressive.
Aesop Rock - Skelethon
Been waiting for this album for a while and I'm pretty damn happy with it.
Baroness - Yellow & Green
Green > Yellow
I feel like they've been on a bit of a decline since Red but this was still a pretty solid album.
Childish Gambino - Royalty
I like it better than Camp.
Mawaru Penguindrum OST
Probably one of my favorite anime OSTs in a long time.
Ab-Soul - Control System
iamamiwhoami - kin
Mount Eerie - Clear Moon
Good album but I liked Wind's Poem much better.
Feeling really silly now to think that in the beginning of the year I wasn't looking forward to much music-wise. So much good stuff has been coming out lately and there's still a bunch of releases later this year that I'm excited for.
I don't listen to music regularly, but I always find time to listen to High Violet. Two years later, it's still my favorite album by The National and the album I return to the most. I've also been listening to Jorge Ben's "Taj Mahal" for the past hour after hearing it mentioned on Slate. Great song.

fuck man, i cant stop listening to this album. its incredible, especially the last two songs on the sea & irene. AOTY for me so far
ive had this for a long time but i completely forgot about it until earlier today. wow. not only is the cover art amazing but the production on this is freakin solid.
For anyone who's part of MusicGAF, I'm guest DJ'ing on a radio station tomorrow night (Friday 8-10pm in Korea) and playing a lot of my favorite tracks of 2012 so far.
I'd love for you guys to join me if you are free around that time.
Gwangju Foreigner Network
Stream from the site above, but you should probably use IE because Korean websites hate every other browser.

Just learned that Elsiane released their second album, Mechanics of Emotion.
Elsiane - "Underhelped"
Yes, this! I've been really pleased with this discovery. Great summer music. Everyone should go grab it. Just $5 on their website.

I just realised that tapmusic.net/lastfm is automatically updating my post with new scrobbles.

I set it to 1 month, so it's closer.
Sadly, captions just get in the way of a couple of albums.

Oh gah, are we just stereotypes running amok. I have every single one of those. (Except for thew new DP.)
Anyway, I guess I messed some tags up.
I wanna do it too.
niiiiiiiice.
I've been listening to Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give it, by Stars on repeat a lot. It's a terrible title but a pretty great song

I'd forgotten how much I love Flying Lotus and going back to Cosmogramma has been great.
Also, J Dilla's "Body Movin'" is wonderful. I'm hoping to find other tracks by him that are like that.

Can't stop listening, so gooooooood!!!!!!!!!
I really like some of the songs on the album. Great stuff!

Go - Motion City Soundtrack
Very disappointing in regards to the actual music, My Dinosaur Life was such a step in the right direction while this was not. I still like the lyrics and vocals.
How much of it sounds like it could be System material?
Aril Brikha - Embrace
It's interesting when you start delving into a genre basically from scratch (techno in this case). I've spent my whole life ignorant of techno/general electronic music. Some of it I still find to be pretty bad, but I really enjoy mellower stuff like this.

Swans - The Seer
that coverart lol
how is it?
i still havent listened to the album prior to this one
Passion Pit - Gossamer
I've been streaming it from NPR all week. It's definitely more tame than Manners. I wasn't expecting the album to be so heavy-handed. However, if you click on the album cover you can read a Pitchfork interview with frontman Michael Angelakos that really frames the album.
Apparently, he suffers from severe bipolar disorder. I really recommend giving the interview a read and the album a listen.
NPR currently has three good albums up for streaming, so that's what I'm listening to right now:
Passion Pit - Gossamer
Purity Ring - Shrines
The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten
Before that I was listening to some Frank Ocean (Nostalgia, Ultra mostly), Metric (Synthethica) and Japandroids (Celebration Rock).
Maybe it's just because I've put in more effort to stay "up to date" compared to the last couple of years, but this year has been great so far in terms of quality album. They just keep coming one after the others.
EDIT: Oh, and since I'm seeing Refused tomorrow night, I've been rocking some Shape of Punk to Come and Songs to Fan the Flame of Discontent as well.

It's good, closest to the Swans Are Dead live material in sound although not quite as punishing. I like it better than My Father... but both are definitely worth checking out
I am a gigantic Swans fan. Glad to hear the album is good. Seeing them live in September and I can't wait.
I did. It's like The Avalanches, I guess.
Awesome, Xiu Xiu is a fitting opener too. I'll hopefully get to see them when they make it up here
Starting out with the top, the newer stuff. Just some of my favorite songs from the albums/singles.
Pyramids- came out a while ago but still remains my favorite song from the album. It's beautiful. Lost is great too but I keep going back to Pyramids
No Lie - holy fuck this song goes hard. Hoping for some more bangers from the album next month.
Jet - no explanation needed.
Lost in the World - I still can't get over how fucking great this song is. I keep going back to MBDTF. <3
Destructo Spin - I recently visited my brother and he still had his collection of music from back in our high school days. Man, I'm so glad I found this. I really need to back to finding more of this stuff. Might have to get one of Converge's cds ;_;
A Box Full of Sharp Objects - I remembered first seeing the music video for this song on Headbangers Ball in one of it's very early episodes. Might've been the first episode actually. Still love this album to this very day.
