Best Album Covers of the Past 10 years?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Gigwise recently posted what they think are “The 50 Best Album Covers of the 2000s”! You can check out all of their top 50 picks, but here are my fave four (with their ranking included)!

santogold-santogold-33
18. Santogold: ‘Santogold’
Maybe it’s just because I love glitter, but I think it really makes this album cover. The more glitter the better I say!

10-animalcollective-merriweath
10. Animal Collective: ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’
Trippy right?! Yeah that’s just a picture! Optical illusions are so confusing but I like them! Downside? Makes my brain hurt if I look at it for too long.

9deathfromabove1979
9. Death From Above 1979: ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine’
Not only is this a fantastic album by a fantastic band (that is now broken up *tear*), but this is a fantastic album cover. Simple looking and simply effortlessly cool. Kinda Andy Warholish too. Rad.

3yeahyeahyeahs-itsblitz
3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: ‘It’s Blitz!’
Is is blitz! I don’t like eggs usually as a food, but this cracked egg makes some pretty great art!

And now for my own personal choice that didn’t make the list…
vampireweekendcd2
Vampire Weekend: ‘Vampire Weekend’
This album cover makes me miss Polaroid cameras and the way that they could instantly capture a moment. Also this cover completely reflects Vampire Weekend and their preppy fun good times sound! Woohoo!

What album covers are your faves? Did they make the list?

Listen To The New Moon Soundtrack Now!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

twilight-new-moon-first-spin

Remember the time when I told you Twilight fans about listening to previews of the New Moon Soundtrack? Well I’m about to one up that, you can now listen to the full soundtrack (except for 4 tracks which are 30 seconds) right here!

A lot of movies in the past have been accompanied with a subpar soundtrack however this isn’t the case for Twilight’s New Moon, due out in theatres November 20. The likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Muse, The Killers & Radiohead’s Thom Yorke have all contributed to a soundtrack that is definitely going to be a hit, just like the movie will be.

Full tracklist after the jump.

Vampire Weekend Release New Single

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

vampire-weekend-horchata

Yesterday the guys in Vampire Weekend released the lead single Horchata off their upcoming album Contra. Their sophomore album is set to be released on January 12, 2010.

After listening to Horchata on repeat for a while, it’s safe to say that Vampire Weekend stuck to their roots and produced a track that is catchy and is very good. If this is any indication, Contra should be amazing!

You can download Horchata for free from Vampire Weekend’s website.

New Foo Fighters Song Released

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

foofighters

With a greatest hits album comes a few previously unreleased tracks or new tracks all together and the Foo Fighters are no exception to this. The guys are set to release a greatest hits album in November and have decided to add two new tracks. One of which is called Wheels and has been recently posted on their MySpace.

After a few listens it’s clear that it’s a catchy tune that will probably be played everywhere. Although Wheels is a lot softer in nature than previous Foo Fighters songs, their unique traits are still apparent in the song. Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Check out the track listing for their greatest hits album after the jump, it really is great!

Pearl Jam Do The Evolution

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

pearljam-backspacer

September 20th marked the release of Pearl Jam’s ninth studio album ‘Backspacer’. From start to finish this album brings out some classic Pearl Jam and also shows a mature side to the alt grunge rockers. Clocking in at 37 minutes in length it is definitely their shortest album to date and there is no shortage of quality music on this album.

During their Toronto stop last month they played two new tracks, the single The Fixer and Got Some. Both tracks were received well by the crowd and listening to the tracks more, it’s no wonder why since they are both great tracks.

Brand New Delivers A Fresh Daisy

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

092209-daisy

If you are a Brand New fan it’s more than likely that you were (and still are) completely obsessed with The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me (TDAGARIM) released in 2006. Let’s be serious, the album was an instant classic, and solidified what would continue to be a committal love affair with any and every future release put out by the band.

It seems like ions ago that TDAGARIM came out (why does Brand New always like to keep us hanging like that?) and in a way it has been. Three years later, Brand New has delivered what has to be one of the year’s most anticipated albums, Daisy. So the answer to the long awaited question is here. Was it worth the wait?

NEW MOON TAKES A BITE OUT OF INDIE

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

newmoon

The tracklist for the New Moon soundtrack was revealed yesterday (finally!) and bares both: the good and the bad (nothing involving RPats and Tay Tay could ever be ugly).

So, in with the good: THE SOUNDTRACK IS GOING TO BE TWI-MAZING (too much?) and out with the bad: RPatz will NOT be serenading you into an obsess-icoma this time around – well, at least not musically. Not to worry though, while he may not be on the tracklist for the New Moon soundtrack, this dreamy fang boat will still be on the album cover. So all’s not completely lost, right?

Tracklist after the jump!
