I know I suck...

You can always rely on the Chive for a relevant pic!

Felt like sharing again so I turned on the ol' internets.  So this will probably be like the the first two weeks of the year at any gym across the country, and I will get bored or find something else to occupy my time again. But I discovered how to properly use Google Reader and RSS feeds in general and it is making perusing a stupid amount of music blogs, sites, etc. much more digestible.  So let's see what I found, shall we?  Let's start with some hip hop:

Neon Indian is making moves

 Alan Palomo and Co. are doing everything in their power to be the kings of this "chillwave" throwback 80's movement.  This includes some of the following:

They released their first album on Lefse, but it was reported that Neon Indian signed with Fader Label.  Check out the stories here:  (via Pitchfork/Billboard)


In other Neon Indian news, you like that segue? You can't teach that.  Neon Indian's single that was released on Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound, Sleep Paralysist, now has a music video which is the band's first.  I have to say that this is probably the most polished of all of Alan's tracks and I believe it, in part, is because he worked with Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor.  Great lyrics and a well written song.  Check out the video below and download the track for free here (thanks PMA):

Information Overload

This should keep you bastards busy for a little.  Bunch of new stuff I was tuned onto the past couple days.  So when you read this, imagine me with my nerd glasses on perusing the interwebs over my lunch break for new stuff to talk about.  Cause that's exactly how it goes down:

Not for Parrotheads

Not sure why I didn't include this that barrage of new stuff that came out this week.  But I saw this duo over at the Starlight Ballroom and was thoroughly feeling the sound that they had.  As my buddy put it, this album is much cleaner than the live stuff, but the album is still A-OK.  This is an album that I am definitely coming around, kudos to the Tuckers for pointing me in the right direction.
