Two albums that I honestly believe have the rare distinction of living up to the hype: Of Montreal's new one and any of the material off of Panda Bear's second full length (which is really a collection of singles released over the past year or so). Anyone that was at SXSW this year (or pretty much any year for that matter) knows that hype is cheap, but both of these albums have been pleasant surprises for me so far this year.

anyone listened to "Writers Block" the Peter, Bjorn .. bla bla.. I think it blows ass. discuss

F Of Montreal...Klaxons!

Panda Bear - Bro's is the single, not the full length and has been out for awhile as far as I know. I got it off iTunes in December.... That would explain the Other Music list.

I would agree that with each release Of Montreal gets better and better.

the p. bear and a. bird weren't out last week.
somebody in new york is getting their ass chewed for not dropping those sales from the list.

Hot Chip remix of Rehab for Amy Whinehouse is the shit. Everything else I have heard by her, not so much.

Amy Whinehouse is dead to me

of montreal is dead to me

well its funny because even though I dig just about everything Deerhunter is influenced by, I just haven't been able to get into that record the way other people have. Maybe I need to listen to it a couple more times.

I agree, I love that Of Montreal. Best thing they have done, well, ever. Which is surprising considering the length of their career. I also think that Panda Bear is worthy of all the praise, looking forward to getting it tomorrow.

I am quite a fan of that Deerhunter too though. Not sure if that was a hyped release, but it seemed p-fork talked about it quite a bit.
