Couple of very good 2013-in-review shoegazer/dreampop posts if you're a fan of the genre:

Plenty of good stuff to pile through this year if you're a fan of the genre. the MBV release was obviously the highlight but there's a whole lot more.

I really disliked the mbv album. Way too ambient for their them to go on full abstract mode, and the textural guitar abrasion was just amplified for some reason.
I still think Isn't anything is their best outing
Yeah, its bloody fantastic. Too bad I haven't listened to it a lot since I have a long backlog to go through, but from the little I heard of it, it was just a pleasurable honest album.

Sup dudes. Kind of some self promotion here, but me and my band (Exes) just recorded an acoustic set. Here's the first one!
Exes || "Ex's"
Hopefully you guys like it!

I knew it sounded like you! I got the EP some time ago from somewhere, probably here. Forgot about it, finally added it to my Google Play and listened to it. I was like "is this Timberwolf?" but you're listed as from LA so I figured you just sounded generic.
I bought St. Vincent's "Marry Me" vinyl today and the download code doesn't seem to work.
It's for Beggars Banquet... it looks like the last update on their website was 2011... are they not around anymore or something?
it says to go to www.beggarsgroupus.com/promo which doesn't go anywhere.

Haha, no need for the sad face. It's definitely me, just started a rock band with a couple friends on top of the timberwolf stuff. I guess I sound unique enough that you knew it was me, so that can be good I guess!

Duuuuudeeee
When it all kicks in on that first track
* rooooooocks heaaaad baaack and forth *
Very tasty.
Really digging this new track from A Sunny Day in Glasgow
"In Love With Useless (The Timeless Geometry In The Tradition Of Passing)"

Anyone had a listen to the new Toy album ''Join the Dots''?
as someone who didn't like the first album, the new one is definitely up to my ally. Very shoegazey and the psychedelic pop is more apparent.
They are coming to Birmingham next. Can't wait to see them live... again!
Some songs from the new album:

It's really good, a big improvement over that last album IMO.

I can't compared it. This record went with a totally different sound than their previous work. You have tracks like "Hi" and "Biggy" having that trip-hop sound. Shit, I think they used a Maschine for the drums in those tracks. This Album is way more moody and less in your face than their previous efforts, and quite honestly very shocking for Warpaint. "Go In" is my favorite track in this whole record but as apparent they went snyth heavy on that track as well, killing that dirty grimy sound they had before. "Love Is to Die" sounded amazing at the Pitchfork Media festival in France, but the studio mix is shit tier compared to that version. That breakdown that the live version had is amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5LNsyzd5_E
Is it great record? Fuck Yeah it is. But is it the typical Warpaint sound, no. I like them even more now and curious what they will do next.
The new XIU XIU us god-awful, avoid it all costs, unless you're a sadomasochist
Real Estate's new album is going to be great
So its like everything they've ever done?
double points for you thanks to kitty avatar <3
It's just as enjoyable as the previous one to me. Nothing special really, but some Nice tunes.
The new Damien Jurado is amazing how ever.

OK, I have no idea where to post this, but it'll have to be here:
So, I'm headed to a Panic at the Disco concert on Friday with my girlfriend, but have no idea what they got going on as a band. Can you guys recommend some tracks you find good? Thanks!

My condolences, bring earplugs.
It's like he's now working in self-parody, they're songs about double penetration, violent sex, and rape...There's a song entitled,"Black Dick"

I honestly thought they died out around 2009.
They had that one song that was in every EA game I guess, not gonna find many fans here.
Well now I feel like I need to hear it.

I'm really considering it. Reeeeeeally considering it.
I thought so too. Apparently not. -_-
Thanks anyway!

Just saw Oasis was added to streaming services, all that does is make me confused about how a band who made The Masterplan a b-side compilation could struggle to make a decent album afterwards
Against Me!'s Transgender Dysphoria Blues stream:
http://www.npr.org/2014/01/12/26109...sic&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=20140112
Singer/songwriter Laura Jane Grace announced about a year and a half ago that she has battled with gender dysphoria and would begin to live as a woman. I've been an Against Me fan for awhile and I think this is one of their best.

I've been ignoring that NPR is streaming it for a couple of days now, but Jesus, I better just give it a listen. I've already ordered the CD from smile.amazon.com (look into it!), but I can't wait.
Edit: A triumph!
The Amazon Smile thing is pretty cool, never heard of that.
I got the vinyl at the NYE show and made an OK rip, looking forward to the download code working on Tuesday.
For some reason "Paralytic States" feels out of place tone wise to me, though it is a catchy song... I think it feels a tad generic to me. Otherwise I honestly feel like the whole album is right up there with the best of Laura's writing. Some of the songs have a very classic feel to them ("True Trans"), a few of the intros could be mistaken for a lost Springsteen song from the 80s era. The title song is so damn catchy, "Two Coffins" is haunting as hell, and the fast songs are hard and angry.
good interview here:

Depends on what you consider a "decent album." Oasis' full discography was something I "discovered" while expanding my music listening back in college. I think all of the albums have something to offer and are "decent," particularly the last three.
Be Here Now is definitely a mess, though, especially after What's the Story? which is in my opinion the band's best.
