One of our Twitter friends requested a list of some great records that came out this year. Some of this is #musictofuckto, some is just really great shit we listened to. And some of it is older stuff that found its way onto the turntable or into our headphones a lot this year.

Rye & V, you have some great music in your arsenal, but I would be a little remiss if I didn't bring the great Marvin Gaye into this conversation. Show him some love.
ReplyDeleteYou know, we have a whole slew of Marvin on vinyl. Haven't listened to a bunch of it lately so it didn't make the list. But shit, if we were to even delve into some of the records in our collection that were left off of this, it would be INTENSE.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you just gave him a good shout yourself. Shine on, Mr. Gaye.

The Black Keys? New album is crazy good!
ReplyDeleteHaven't listened to it yet. Gotta say, our interest has waned since Rubber Factory. But we'll give a listen soon I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWe also left off Fleet Foxes, which was actually just an oversight. Perhaps I'll sneak it in now...

The National are amazing! Saw them this morning at a taping of Q (http://www.cbc.ca/q/weekly/2011/12/02/this-week-on-q-78/). They debuted two new tracks and then invited Bon Iver to join them for Vanderlyle. Sooo fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThey're SO great live. And yeah, we were all over those new tracks yesterday! And Bon Iver coming up with them? Perfect.

It's not an uncommon fetish for a doting man to ballerina on a coffee table cock in hand
ReplyDeleteIsn't it though. Saw them two weeks back with the girlfriend in Montreal and it was one of the best shows of my life. So you're both fucking sexy AND have great taste in music. A nice combo
ReplyDeleteYes, we are definitely that combo. Missed their Beacon shows in NY, which was heartbreaking. But we'll live.
