Really? It's been that long? I'm living in Brooklyn now, a Junior in college, and I love it. It's such a turn around from the depressing town I'm from. I'm planning to study in London in the fall, so hopefully everything will go through with that. Besides that, I just got internet in my apartment + a new computer so I've been hoarding all the new music I can because I've been so out of the loop for the last couple of months. How are things? P.s. You wouldn't happen to be going to Coachella this year, would you?

We can finally be friends on Facebook! I just added you. Anyway, recommendations: Robyn's new album (s) Body Talk. [I know, I know, but it's really fucking catchy], The Naked and Famous, King Khan********, Weezer's new album Hurley, Sleigh Bells, The Radio Dept. **, Mumford & Sons if you haven't heard the yet, Blind Pilot******************************* Anyway, it's been a long time. How've you been?

I'm reading Catch-22 right now. What a great book.

Good taste.

a happy new year to you, make it yours! how are you?

unfortunately nooooooo dude. i wish, i'm really fucking curious about how this is gonna turn out hahaha. are you going?

haahha i thought the same thing when i read dead air space! honestly though the song makes me really excited for their future stuff. it's so much DARKER than in rainbows.

There are more songs than the eight on Octahedron? I'll check out your recommendations, I already like Vampire Weekend. I'm doing all right, heading off to NYC for school in the fall. I'm nervous but excited. Are you back from across the seas?

was it really? how so?? ahh fuck i regret not going dude.

How have you been? The new Mars Volta is decent, I'd say. A few of the songs have boring intros, but are otherwise really good. Any bands you think I might like? I think you would probably enjoy Jens Lekman. Maybe even Why? or his side project, Hymie's Basement.

i actually wasn't expecting a better show than the one at the disney concert hall, but fuck. that was ridiculous. and yeah hahah we defffinitely lost our spot. we ran up to our friend's car and by the time we were back the people we were with were already inside. so i wasn't in the pit, but that standing area right behind it.

so grizzly bear was retardedly awesome...

DUDE listen to "Glory Box" as SOON as you hear start hearing thunder. You will implode upon the listen, but it will be worth it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O08iK3cWOXw Best cover of Army of Me by far, imho. Any new music for me? I'm experiencing a drought.

I've been great dude! Yeah I graduate in a couple weeks and then it's off to UCSB, so that should be interesting. Looks like I'll be seeing you at some shows before then though haha. How about you?

BIZARRE. i didn't even see your shout when i left mine. i went on your profile and i saw you were listening to it!

i was about to alert you of the SR leak, but alas it seems you are way ahead of me. i just finished the first song. badass.

you little bitch! how dare you use patrick watson?! he's mine! don't do it! i'll give you flaming lips but don't take my man! make your mix shorter!

nice page you have here :)

Ohhhh very good music, i love Sunset Rubdown T_T

whahey! veckatimest is amazing! how are you over there? i am in the middle of recordings w/ siva. we are finished by the end of the month. so much to do! i hope you are doing well! beste grüße, andres.

I've since decided to judge the shit out of it. Verdict: absolutely fucking incredible. Everything is perfect. Or it's going to be once I can get a high quality copy. Speaking of cymbals, I love the backwards ones in Southern Point. So good. I can't wait to buy this...

No problem, brotha! All the songs sound incredible. It's gonna take a lot to match Yellow House, and I'm not gonna judge off a mediocre rip, but it's definitely got potential.

GRIZZLY BEAR LEAKEDDDDDDDD shitty bitrate but even so IT SOUNDS SOOOOO GREAT.

ps: love the henry darger image.

wuduuuup!

Fuck, man! I'm gonna give it a listen fo sho.

My fucking god I know. I'm just starting to get ridiculously excited again. Also, how's the new Swan Lake? I downloaded it but haven't listened yet. And have you heard Dan Deacon's new one yet? I love it. Unconditionally.

I don't know why we aren't friends! you're #2 on my neighbors list.

hey, do you know where i could find fifths of sevens album on the internet I've looked all over and can't find it anywhere. you have awesome taste in music as well by the way.

Yeah I was at Amoeba! Hahaha you should have said hi! But anyway FUCK I'm depressed, dude. I can't believe it. I mean what'd we do to deserve that?

HAhahaha I'm expecting a weird show fo sho, but I can't wait to be in the same fuckin room as Panda Bear & Co.

RIDICULOUSLY. And yourself?

This is the best album I've heard in a long, long time. And that's impressive, given the insane amount of hype.

Not a Robot, But a Ghost is freaking great!

hows that new new andrew bird?

heeey, i am fine, thank you! wie geht es dir? how long will you be here, then? next week is pretty hectic, since we will be recording with siva. but it's not all day long of course... sometimes we start at five in the afternoon, maybe we can meet in the afternoon? have a good day!

I could see it, yeah. ARGHHH IT'S SO EFFING GREAT.

HAVE YOU HEARD MY GIRLS?

I know I can't wait for new Grizzly Bear.

NOICE. Thanks dude. I had some of Chad Vangaalen's first album and I've been meaning to check Soft Airplane out. And I've been really into noise stuff lately, so Women shall be a hit. I wish I had some recs for you, but I'm so utterly consumed with waiting for the Merriweather leak that I can't even think. I trust you heard Brosport? And those two little clips? Or are you abstaining from leaked stuff?

http://www.last.fm/event/750050 i know you want to go so bad.... just in case you need tickets i'm sending this pretty sweet site... http://www.mayercraftcarrier.com/ what a dreamboat.

any recommendations for me? I have a ton for you.

That's really funny, because right before I saw that shout I tried and failed multiple times to comprehend that steaming pile of bullshit. But hey the score is a plus!

heeej, were you there? i did not see you at festsaal, it was pretty crowded... hmm. have fun in barcelona!

cool, i am looking forward to it! i bet it will be busy there hehe. but great to finally get to meet each other! so this means you are going to barcelona tomorrow instead?

oh no, you can't come. i hope prague has been great? i saw rue royale yesterday, they were incredible! i did not make it to animal collective as well, which freaks me out, but hey, i guess they are coming back in time when the album is out. do you have time on wednesday or thursday?

gaaahh. I need that song. And I can't get an mp3 of it.

Holy fucking WOW.

you know what i want? a new grizzly bear! fuck tvontheradio and animal collective, need moar BEAR!!
