06.Jul.2010 after every party I die

Its been more than a while since I shared my musical flavorings so here is a snapshot of what I’ve been listening to for the past 3 months.

Radiohead made it into the top position based solely on this past 4th of July weekend.  The Absentminded Professor inquired “which Radiohead album do you think I would most be into” or the like. It was like diamonds and sunshine out of my heart and eyes to hear such. And just as I was about to make a dash to my hard drive to cherry pick some tunes, AP informed me he already had in his possession the entire discography (well, not the complete In Rainbows). The diamonds flung themselves from me with joy.  So, I started from Pablo Honey and ended with the gimp version of In Ranbows.

IAMX – Hypergeneric Mike gave me some tunes a while back which I mostly ignored until I exhausted my current selections.  IAMX, Bat for Lashes, & Florence & The Machine were included. I feel silly for waiting so long to peep em (something the new and unknown makes me anxious) but was so delighted when I did.  They had me at “After Every Party I Die” and I spent 2 weeks of having the album “The Alternative” on loop. Last time something like that happened, the instant infatuation that is, must have been when someone clued me into Interpol.  Here’s the track:

And on a final note, while I talked a bit of shit about Crystal Castles before, I’m really really digging the new album. Intimacy anyone?

What have ya’ll been listening to?
