Before some other hipster asshole gets to tell you any different, I'll jump the gun and inform everyone that the new Yeasayer album, Odd Blood, is really cool. Especially cool when compared to their last release, which I kind of hated. This new one is a crazy psychedelic disco pop record straight out of the '80s. It's fucking weird, but so groovy and fresh, it's hard to sit still.
The Animal Collective comparisons are inevitable. Don't get hung up on them. They both have the psychedelic thing going on, but take their inspirations from different decades and play radically different styles of pop.
Bonnaroo announcements today. I doubt I'll care much about the lineup, but I am enjoying this totally absurd announcement system of refreshing their myspace page every six minutes with one new band.
Oh, and although it's still a month a way, there's a chance that the new Titus Andronicus disc might be one of the greatest things you'll hear all year.
