it's finals time, i'm so weighed down with a million papers and shit. crap.

i saw future islands in dc last thursday, they were REALLY REALLY GOOD. the vocals were just as dramatic as i had imagined, i would love to see them again. i probably will, whartscape 2k10 y'all. double dagger played too, it was the first time i've been in a mosh pit in ages. it was nice, some guy's elbow caught me right in the cheek.

future islands - in evening air

i saw tallest man on earth in dc last friday, he was REALLY REALLY GOOD. he's just as good at fingerpicking live as he is on the album. i was so impressed by him, his songs are so great. nurses, the opening band, was fabulous as well. i had never heard them, and i doubt i ever will hear them again. you know how it goes with opening bands.

future islands

i don't know when the newest future islands album, entitled 'in evening air' first leaked, but i just got that shit today. i'm so blown away by it, i love it. i already like future islands quite a bit, but this albums is just the bomb. it's not nearly as exciting as their other albums, but it's better in its own right. homeboy's voice is just as theatrical and zany as ever, i soooo love it.



this album prompted me to re-listen to 'little advances' and 'wave like home,' which i haven't heard in a while. future islands used to be so damn dance-ready.



you can download "into the fall" off of their ep that came out like three weeks ago and "tin man," the hook-y song from 'in evening air' that is bloggable or whatever. it's the only song from their new album that i could find on hype machine. it certainly isn't my favorite song from the album, but it will suffice until the rest of the album gets split up and spread across the internet. their album will be out on thrill jockey, you can find their ep there now.



links to download on this blog, i've never read it before.



Maybe you remember when future islands looked like that^^, i sure don't.

any cool shit happened on the internet recently?
SO DIGGING WEEKENDS AGAIN. apparently they're releasing, like, a professional album soon. raingirls is a badass song, weekends is so badass live. might go to dc to see future islands, tallest man on earth, and weekends in the SAME weekend. i can't even imagine.



when compared to the album below, this cover seems so damn classy. a good/bad thing i'm sure.
