i said in a post a couple months back that I couldn't wait to get to this album. I finally got to it:

Agaes Byrjun by Sigur Ros

What an amazing album, especially the Svefn-g-englar track. I have a list of World songs that struck me viscerally for their exoticness and beauty, and this went to #2 (behind Polegnala e Todora, from Les Mysterieux des Voix Bulgaire)

Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet

This is a album of great magnitude. How the duck did it slip my knowledge so damn long?!?!!

Anyway, I'm head over heals for it.

Also, really discovered The Feelies' "Crazy Rhythms" for the first time this week as well as "Tonight's the night" by Neil Young.

Not the best of weeks for discoveries, not a lot of listening time and some awkward choices. In this context, Sideroxylon by The Celibate Rifles was the best new listen.

Aw, yeah, so much love for this band, that's cool! Hope you liked it, megan 😄

I saw they did a cover of Two Headed Boy when wandering through their songs on Deezer, and I wanted to listen to it, but I forgot. If it sucks, I definitely want to hear it!

People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World by Andrew Jackson Jihad

Sounds like a mix between The Pogues and Neutral Milk Hotel. I don't like The Pogues, but this is absolutely amazing. Extremely short, too (25 minutes), but each second is fantastic.

Yah, everyone listen to this, it is really good. ^_^

And I'm pretty sure they've actually covered Two Headed Boy but it sucks. XD

I don't like The Pogues either, but/so I'm intrigued. I'll give it a go. 25 minutes sounds easy enough, too. 😁

My favourite discovery of the week:

80/100

I've had a bad week for new discoveries though 😕 I've somehow managed to listen to a whole bunch of shit or just average albums for the past few days.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

Even if you've heard every one of those songs many times, like almost everyone has, they are all even more powerful in the context of the album. It's really amazing to listen to that album start to finish, 8 masterpieces lined up in a perfect row.
