it's a problem here too because a band like Future Islands can sell out a Tuesday night show a month in advance.

Was getting my hair cut last week and "Season's Change" came over the speakers and I let out a Belly Laugh. My stylist said, "huh?" And I just said, "oh, it's just...nothing, never mind"

steve dave, I'm going to a concert in Omaha in July. I was super steamed that it wasn't in Omaha so we could PAK beforehand.

Downloaded "Singles" last week - Future Islands' newest album. I like it, but it's pretty front loaded. The second half of the album isn't so hot. Still pretty good, though. One gripe - and this isn't specific to Future Islands - is that it's hard to find bands that switch up their style. Every song just sounds like a variation of the previous.

you are wrong on the 2nd half of the album. those songs just take a few listens to grow on you. All 5 of them are fantastic actually

I'm pretty sure Frightened Rabbit has been posted in here, but when I hear songs this good I just want to give up making music. Just not fair.

So I was laying in bed Thursday night and this popped in my head

The last 48 hours has been an amazing ride rediscovering Tevin

MakeItRain · « **Reply #2388 on:** May 18, 2014, 04:10:51 PM »

I was allowing my California bros to wake up and bump around the board a little bit before I got really butthurt about this, but am I the only person who loved Tevin Campbell in the 90's? I have never felt so alone on this board as I do now, SMDH.

Really? I thought it started strong with Seasons, then trailed off but pick up again around track 6

Did anyone else DL the new Drive By Trucker's album English Oceans? It's pretty chill, I dig.

Check out the new Kishi Bashi album, friends. Wish I could have gotten to Middle of the Map to see him.

First single:

I really like when the guy that isn't Patterson Hood sings.

Haha, me too.

I feel like they gave him more songs than usual on this one.
