#musicmonday

March 8, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: #musicmonday

Sorry all of today’s posts are so late today, things at work were kind of crazy. As you can see I was definitely crazy over the new Gorillaz album, and I still stand my previous review. It’s an amazingly fun album that shouldn’t be missed. Here’s are some suggestions for some good tunes.

1) Yo La Tengo – I’ve been listening to YLT as I’ve been going to bed lately, specifically The Sounds of the Sounds of Science. It was created as a score for Jean Painlevé’s eight short documentary-style films that were all about sea critters. There’s no words to any of the songs, it’s just a lot of really laid back, ambient kinda stuff.

2) Jonsí – I was about to get a copy of Jonsí’s new album Go, something I’ve been really looking forward to for a while now. I’ve listened to it a few times now, and honestly I think all the really great songs have been released. I wouldn’t say that Go is a bad album in any way, but I think in some ways I was expecting even more. I think I need to listen to it in the morning on my way to work and not at night when I’m tired as all get out.

3) Beach House – I was thinking the other day that I was kind of burnt out by Beach House’s newest Teen Dream since I was able to hear it last year, but damn, it’s still such an amazing album. Norway still gives me chills and I get re-excited when I get to Lover of Mine. If for some bizarre reason you live under a rock and don’t have this album, you should walk to your local record store and buy it.

As usual feel free to add me on Last.fm by clicking here.

  1. Hey Bobby,
    I came here to tell you that you NEED to listen to the band River City Extension. Simply amazing.

  2. Yes. I recently acquired “Teen Dream” and i am absolutely melted by it. It’s a lover.

    Yo la tengo is timeless. Their compositions are sweet as honey, in a rock ‘n roll way. They are coming to Portugal next week… I still don’t have the tickets… Haste!

  4. I’m not crazy about “teen dream”, I guess I should listen it a bit more. FYI, I just discovered Andy Yorke’s “Simple”, the Thom Yorke’s brother, and let me tell you is really awesome

  6. @Will – That album never clicked with me for some reason, and I think both of those guys are totally amazing.
