yeah, lots of good music I've discovered/been exposed to.

Two new bands of note:
Thank you to my dear Caleb for showing me Mumford & Sons all those weeks ago,
and to Philip for Department of Eagles.  It's like Grizzly Bear, but with wings.  And no, not Wings with Paul McCartney, but they do have a lot of Beatles influence.  Nice.

Hmmmm, what else?
Oh yes, Mew.  Their new album, "No More Stories Are Told Today I'm Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I'm Tired Let's Wash Away" is really good stuff.  Dago burned that one for me, didn't even know about it til Saturday.

New Deftones "Diamond Eyes" is good, except for the bassist in a 2 year coma part.  But the rest of the record is great!  Thant one I owe thanks to Mr. Allred and his iPhone.

Animal Collective is pretty sweet music.  Definitely not mass appeal, but I like it.  And thanks to Greg via Denver, Gerken, for that one.

The Hours are really catchy experimental/percussive semi-electronic music.  Mr. Godbout and Mr. Thompson are whom I owe thanks to for that one.

The National-High Violet, great record.  Been jamming that all day.  I think my two favorite songs, right off the bat (and I know it'll change the more this record grows on me) are "Afraid of Everyone" and "Runaway"

Found a band, just browsing dif band sites, called The Ropes, and they are cool.  Nothing prolific, but interesting sounds/melodies.  Good indie rock, from New York, so it's a bit late on the cusp, but still some sweet music.

And for some reason, she isn't new of course, but I just found my copy of Jenny Lewis' "Rabbit Fur Coat" which made me stoked.  Always love listening to her sing!

The Ember Days played in Provo on Monday at the Rock.  They are great.  Really great.  Haven't felt a rush of believable music like that in a long long time.

And Coldplay are rumored to have a new record out by Christmas this year, but we'll see how quickly that comes to fruition.  They are working with Brian Eno again on this record, but it'll be a left turn from Viva la Vida.  I'm obviously excited for it, but I'm eager to hear their ideas of a "left turn".  Supposably going to be more stripped down, and raw.  We'll see.

Trying to write, but I've got writers block.  Had some cool ideas.  Don't know how dry I've gotten, could just be my own reflection.  At any rate, I'm going to bed.
