old with the old

This blog has been pretty dead the past month or two. Not because I'm any less excited about all the new music I've been jammin out too lately, but more because I haven't had the time to muster up the writing to accompany it. And that seems to have been the problem with this whole venture from the start: trying to digest the music quick enough to compose a paragraph or two about it that's actually worth reading is not really sustainable given the internet's relentlessly real-time pace. It's time to tweek the medium.

So I've upgraded, moved to a new location and a new incarnation --- one thats stripped down and much better for what this blog is trying to do: share the music.

Atlas Sound - Walkabout

[no cover today. if you've seen it you know why....]

It's so balmy out it feels like summer right now. Gotta post some warm weather music. Here's a track from Atlas Sound, the impressive side project of Deerhunter's Bradford Cox. The man is prolific. This song is from last year's excellent and hazy Logos, and features help on vocals from Animal Collective's Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear).
