Discovery - LP
Discovery is a new side project of Wes Miles from Ra Ra Riot and Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend. They also enlist the help of Ezra Koenig (also from Vampire Weekend) and Angel Deradoorian (from Dirty Projectors) for a couple of songs. Additionally, Batmanglij and Koenig are former members of Dirty Projectors…so there’s a lot of cross-pollination going on.

That Pitchfork Sound
There are several bands that I cannot seem to get into and most of them seem to be nearly universally liked by the public at large. The first examples that spring to mind are Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Bon Iver, and Fleet Foxes.

Top 3 Overrated Albums of 2008
There were quite a few albums that showed up multiple times when I cross-referenced the best albums of 2008 and this list is skewed against the ones that were on the most Top 10 lists. The other criterion is that I didn’t like them, but they are only scored by frequency of recommendation…I dislike these all equally and I’m sharing this information to further elucidate my musical tastes.
