The production seems somewhat minimal which is also a good thing
Some of the songs remind me of what Prince would do musically.

Funny, Twin Shadow reminds me of a modern indie new wave kinda Prince.

Getting into the new Bloc Party album. Looks like Kele has purged his dance music influences in The Boxer, thus making Four a more rock-sounding album. They've been drawing quite a bit from 90s alt-rock, to be precise.

Is it me or has there not been a lot of output from Brandon since the move back to Pitchfork? He seemed more prolific with writing during his Stereogum gig.

Silent Alarm is one of my all time favs. I dont think this one is near as good though. I was excited by reading that they were kinda returning to their roots but its just not that good....still gonna give it time thouh.

He definitely doesn't put out as many "Show No Mercy" columns but I think he's got more responsibilities with his latest role at P4K compared to what he was doing before at Stereogum.

At least, that's been my impression.

Dismember's Like an Everflowing Stream

The weird part about this was that I didn't even remember it was in my iPod until having to randomly shuffle through the album menu. Classic death metal.

The high-pitched humming in my ears when I have ear plugs in. Yeah, I probably have tinnitus. Though, it's not so bad that it affects me.

Earlier, though, I went to Best Buy to pick up my copy of the new XX album. I got through the beginning of "Try" before I got back to the office. Sadly, I can't listen to it anymore because I have this loud server in my office temporarily while I'm getting it set up.
