new music: The Henry Clay People - California Wildfire
sometimes I forget that THCP are from California. they're so uncool and they embrace it and rock your socks off. kinda like Pavement, who are also from California.
anyways, this song is from their forthcoming This Is a Desert EP, and it's awesome.
video: The National - Conversation 16
LOOK, IT'S ROGER!!! and Mel from Flight of the Concords, minus the craziness.
this is actually my favourite National song and I listened to it a LOT yesterday. the video is...strange. but so are Matt's lyrics.

The Strokes Post #633
there is a reason that 30 sec previews don't do The Strokes (or Julian) justice.
Strokes magic (the natural phenomenon which doctors recommend you experience on a daily basis) lies in build up build up build up and RELEASE.

this has a much faster, more upbeat energy than the instrumental band's previous work, but at the end it leaves you as breathless and awed as any of their other songs.

The Strokes Post #632
Albert's smile makes my heart go warm and fuzzy.
BONUS:
SPIN has a photo shoot about the band called "10 Years of Downtown Cool",which includes a photo with Ryan Adams (and Courtney Love, unfortunately) which I had never seen before:
I liked this one too:
my only complaint is that SPIN, like a lot of other mags/blogs, continues to talk about Drew Barrymore as Fab's (ex) love interest and don't talk a lot about Binki, whom Fab has been with for a good few years now. at least since 2008, which was three years ago, and probably a little longer.
the guitar tone on Nick's solo is the purest sound I've ever heard

The Strokes Post #629
mmmm Angles is building up to be monumental.
my attempts at lyrics:
Animals will take these things about some pain that they once felt
There’s no one that I disapprove more of or root for more than myself
I wanted to pretend that it was better better better on the phone
I didn’t wanna tell you I was jealous jealous jealous and alone
So we talked about ourselves in hell
To forget the love we never felt
Are we all jokes, then what’s the world?
It matters too
Don’t try to stop us, don’t try to stop us, don’t try to stop us
Get out of the way
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see
She sees her father in the poor man’s eyes
It’s crippling he says (?)
Animals on tv singing about something they felt at some point
I wanted to tell you it was better better better
What’s the point?
As I watched the veil
With dreams so clear
And the door was closed
For forty years
Cause we hide what we don’t wanna hear
As we hide our dream here
He is coming from a part of hell
Well why then do I not go down well (?)
We can tell it well
I’m barely up
It’s a picture man, we dig as well
Making fools out of the best of us
Making robots of the rest of us
And the tale to tell a million girls today
Where’s our time just look
Don’t try to stop us don’t try to stop us don’t try to stop it
Get out of the way
