best albums so far in no particular order:

univers zéro -- clivages
rogue wave -- permalight
broken bells -- st
yeasayer -- odd blood

all the others I heard won't last too long, some others I haven't heard yet, as the new dillinger escape plan.

Not huge on the album but that freaking Besnard Lakes' Albatross is killer, they need more "albatross" a curse they're worth having

the only thing i don't care for/zone out on is the spoken word stuff.

I knew there was going to be a new one from them this year, but I didn't realize it was coming out so soon. Thanks for the reminder.

01. Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me
02. Beach House - Teen Dream
03. Pantha du Prince - Black Noise
04. Liars - Sisterworld
05. Spoon - Transference

06. Shearwater - The Golden Archipelago
07. Surfer Blood - Astro Coast
08. Fang Island - s/t
09. Local Natives - Gorilla Manor
10. Autechre - (Oversteps)

11. Gonjasufi - A Sufi and a Killer

Been a solid year so far. I have to say, I really like that Pantha du Prince a lot more than I thought I would just from sampling it. He has a great sound and really changes things up nicely within each song.

1. The Morning Benders - Big Echo
2. Vampire Weekend - Contra
3. Beach House - Teen Dream
4. Spoon - Transference

Planning to check these out at some point.

I'm a little surprised that you like that Vampire Weekend so much.

two guns holla · **Posted:** Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:31 pm

I wouldn't call myself a fanboy, but I've really liked both of their albums a lot. My friends here absolutely love them, so thats a factor too.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:40 pm

Yeah I know quite a few people IRL who really like VW. I just feel like the new one stumbles all over the place.

Need to listen more to it and Four Tet. Both lost in my harddrive death 2010. Need to re-dnld

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Wed Mar 31, 2010 5:17 pm

They're both in kind of a similar vein, but I think the Pantha du Prince is way, way better.

I can upload both for you today.

I appreciate the gesture, but I think I can find them in the TWENTYTEN thread (just found PdP).
