that's a good album, although I still prefer Fevers & Mirrors, even though it features some annoying stuff, like when they go during the next to last song, which is up to that point nothing less but brilliant, into a (fake?) interview with Oberst, which is rather overpositive (and putting such a thing on your record seems rather arrogant) and it's accompanied by a horrible sound.

Well that's a good decision. I especially like the song called Dear God Please Help Me.

I haven't heard Fevers & Mirrors, only Wide Awake, It's Morning, and Lifted (etc., etc., etc.)

Having just listened to the new song, I have to say I enjoy it immensely. I'd never heard any Morrissey, just The Smiths.

offtopic...Régine Chassagne is hot.

In my av on the right btw.

Animal Collective is rather weird folkmusic, they do loops of their own voices & stuff. I've only heard Sung Tongs, which I like quite a bit, it's really joyful stuff, I think.

Architecture in Helsinki might also be something for you. They are often compared to Arcade Fire, but I like them a lot more. They're from Australia by the way... whatever their name might suggest.

Speaking of bands using names for places they aren't from: Of Montreal is really good 60s psychedelia stuff. If you liked Sgt. Pepper's Beatles, you'd like Of Montreal.

Yeah, I suppose you could call Animal Collective bizarre folk, which would explain my current infatuation with the likes of Banhart.

Hmm...I'll check them out next weekend I think. Animal Collective sounds also interesting.

By the way...I really don't understand what's so special about architecture in Helsinki.

I mentioned them earlier too. I like them.
