mp3: titus andronicus "four score and seven"
-
Artist:
Cool historical things are a great jumping point for music and stuff (especially for nerds like us), so naturally New Jersey screamers Titus Andronicus have hit on something (our excitement) with The Monitor. Its a concept album loosely based on the Civil War, with guest voice-overs from people playing period characters? We're sold. GET OUT YOUR MUSKETS!

album review: langhorne slim be set free

Artist:

Album:
Folksy guitarman Langhorne Slim takes his jam band to new places with Be Set Free, the latest installment in the prolific band's menagerie of uplifting tunes.

I'm happy to say the colorful personalities of his band mates shine through the lush production and smile-inducing moments abound. The re...

hear new broken bells
-
Artist:
The collaboration from Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and James Mercer (aka that guy from the Shins) called Broken Bells is finally giving us a taste of what to expect. Hit refresh a few times and thank the sleuths at Stereogum.

nickelback (?) declared best band of the decade?
-
Artist:
SOMETHING HAS GONE HORRIBLY WRONG HERE. Nickelback is the top group of the decade, according to Billboard Magazine. And Billboard Magazine just put the nail in its own coffin, made of 100% irrelevancy and sealed with tears. [via The National Post and also my suicide note]

the big pink a brief history of love
-
Artist:
-
Album:
The Big Pink's A Brief History of Love is a deftly produced retrospective on the flawed and fragile state of romantic affairs; in the struggle for power, sexuality autonomy throws companionship to the wayside. Unlike like this messy and often combative "use or be used" ethos, The Big Pink discovers a synergistic listening experience in which classic guitars, electric beats and industrial noise ...

Album:Fall Be Kind
Animal Collective creates music with specific seasons and moods in mind. "Summertime Clothes" off of 2009's Merriweather Post Pavilion is what comes to mind first (that song has a special place in my heart after surviving my first Brooklyn summer sans AC).

mp3: liars "scissor"
-
Artist:
Last week the Baeble staff went to check out a sneak peak of Sisterworld at a listening party with free beer, so naturally we don't remember anything but having a strong urge to get into fights, and drinking a lot of beer. It seemed like everyone was having a good time, ignoring the DJ set, and no one seemed to notice this first track start up until it ripped a hole in the conversation with the us
