I love this album. Of all of the albums I got at the library I'm wearing this one out. I got a bunch of tracks off of Oaklandazurasylum when it came out and I wasn't that impressed. I thought it sounded neat but not much else. This album is a huge step up from that one. I am a big fan of cLOUDDEAD but never thought to check this out until I saw it at the library. It cracks me up how much thi

WHY? - These Hands / January Twenty Something from anticon. on Vimeo.Last February one of my roommates recommended me WHY?'s "Alopecia". I vaguely remember some message board ramblings as well as a heavy recommendation by Colour Revolt. For whatever reason, they just didn't click with me up until a few weeks ago, and [...]

So far, 2008 has provided albums that are simply new releases from established artists (The Magnetic Fields, Xiu Xiu, The Mae Shi, Atmosphere, Portishead) with a few debuts (No Age, Santogold, Vampire Weekend). A few have made waves, but nothing's been pegged as the album of the year. I think this is different after listening to the new album by Bay Area indiekids Why?, titled Alopecia. Fre...

New WaxLast year's Why? album Alopecia, for lack of better terminology, kicked my ass. It was the first I'd heard of Yoni Wolf and company's hip-hop infused art rock and it worked itself into my top ten albums of the year. Wolf's wordplay, which is, as far as I'm concerned, without comparison, is equal parts genius and untethered absurdity. Wolf still juggles poignant introspection with too-muc...

I like to listen to as many new albums as I can during the year and then rate and rank them resulting in a year-end list. I don't shoot for a specific number (hence this year there are 32); the list is based on the records I rated high, typically 7.5/10 or above. WHY?

ok, i'm going to out myself: *i just do not like hip hop. or rap. or really, anything resembling either of them.* i don't even know if those are the right terms anymore. i mean, there are a few exceptions, - i like *why?*, or at least, i like that one song. i like *the roots*, or at least, that one song, or maybe two or three. probably, i like them the most, on account of they have real i...
