Merriweather Post Pavilion
Color me impressed. I was pretty underwhelmed by their previous releases (despite Jake Z's constant monologues about their awesomeness), I gotta hand it to Animal Collective. Their new one's pretty goddamned good. Here it is.

Listened to 'Sung Tongs' last night!
I'll give Merriweather a listen.
"Water Curses" was a fun EP from 2008.
Speaking of Baltimore how about season 4 of The Wire?
Snoop has slowly emerged into a top 10 character.

Only top 10? Gotta be in my top 5! In no particular order: Snoop, Bunk, Freeman, Omar, Avon.
"Sung Tongs" did nothing for me. And the Panda Bear record wasn't anything too special. Texturally they were cool. "Merriweather" has songs.

The Wire Season 4 - Starring: Felicia "Snoop" Pearson as Felicia "Snoop" Pearson.
So awesome.

Gotta give the show props for having three out-ed main characters that aren't stereotypes. Also, I'm loving how the Animal Collective thread has turned into another "Wire" appreciation post.

Sorry. Back to the music...
I also really like the Animal Collective song "Fireworks".
It was on a mix I got from a colleague last week. Fun stuff.
