I think from time to time (read: whenever I feel like it) I'll do entries where I shamelessly plug amazing albums/songs that are available to download for free, legally, courtesy of the artists who created them starting off with probably the most wildly inaccessible band of the bunch, The Armed. anyone who digs really abrasive, chaotic hardcore punk/mathcore in the vein of Botch or The Chariot should look these guys up their entire discography is available to download free in either high q
so the indie pop band Tegan and Sara have released a new single from their upcoming 2013 album, entitled "Closer" it's different but good the emphasis is definitely on the pop this time around, it sounds a lot like a modern radio dance-pop track except.. it has a sort of M83 vibe running through the music, and overall is much stronger and more enjoyable to me than the radio-pop it resembles I hope they have more of their characteristic pop-rock fare on the album, but if the entire thin
absolutely loved it. without spoiling anything: 10 Cloverfield Lane is an all-around better film than Cloverfield, a very different film in some ways, a very similar film in other ways, and a worthy successor in every possible way.

was gonna do a top 10 but I haven't actually gotten to listen to all of the albums I wanted to from last year, so I'm just gonna do the top 5 instead which I'm pretty sure of at this point. even if I did listen to the rest, the top 5 isn't likely to change. 5.
