Although all I got is buckshot for those fags in VW. I’m just glad to see I got in your brain, brau. Although all I got is buckshot for those fags in VW.

Hit me up if you need the record. It's really great.

I might have to listen to something released on Anticon. Thanks for pointing that out, woulda never given it a chance. King Khan is the first musician from my home town that I'm generally excited about. In fact I'm kind of embarassed that he had to become internet-famous for me to find out about him. I do recall going to a Spaceshits show 7 or so years ago but God knows how much beer was consumed that night. As for Vampire Weekend and Herculese...can't support. I guess there's only room in my collection for ONE quasi-gay disco-dance band and that slot's filled. Oh damn, that “Why?” song is clutch. I might have to listen to something released on Anticon.

I'm not feeling this year's hipster bands Vampire Weekend and Hercules at all. And maybe I'm lacking in some intellectual or emotional capacity but the new Erykah Badu just sounds like mundane noodling to me. I've yet to locate more than three good tunes on that disc. Maybe I should listen to it more, but I don't much feel like doing so.

As much as it is a giant hipster cliche, now that the spotlight is off them I appreciate them more and want to listen to "Apologies..." again after like two years ignoring it. Ah, the things hype does to the soul... I think Sunset Rubdown got all the remaining Wolf Parade love.

I simply can't get behind Vampire Weekend, but The Kills, Portishead and King Khan discs are so damn good. Nice list.
