merriweather post pavilion
i fully admit that i didn't grow 100% fond of "strawberry jam." it was a great album, but it did not really stick with me like previous albums had. not only am i very excited about their newest release "merriweather post pavilion," but i'm pretty sure that it will easily be one of my favorite albums this year. there is a side of them that i didn't know existed until this album was made. it is highly romantic; the type of album that one would buy if they were dating someone and wanted to send a gift that says, "the mere sound of your name gives me butterflies in my stomach." it can be danceable, soothing, and at some times almost ambient. in other words, if you like animal collective, go grab a copy of this album.
in other news, i spotted two squirrels having a little chase in the backyard and two basset hounds that were playing in a front yard! i had a lovely walk in the grand weather that we had today and saw all sorts of great sites. the planet earth is a very great place.
i will now go make some dinner!

Anything would be better than what was apparently Album of the Year. Allison Krause and Robert Plant? Yikes!
oh god! i heard that review on NPR. you know, i don't mind alison krauss too bad, but robert plant isn't really my thing these days. i didn't mind led zepplin, but i never was one of those kids that listened to them and tried to explain how it was the greatest music ever made. i could say it more about the beatles than zepplin, personally.
that also doesn't mean that i will not make fun of every mccartney/starr album made until they both pass, however.
actually--you have yet to see the heart of gold movie with all the prairie wind stuff from neil young, right? alison krauss is in that, but she is really good in it.
