On a non new music note, I've lately been listening to Elvis Costello for the first time, and loving it. So far just "My Aim is True" and "This Years Model," and their both great. I'm not sure how I've gone this far without ever hearing his stuff (with the exception of his SNL performance).

Elvis Costello rules so hard. I was pretty much the same as you until like 6 months ago. Knew he was probably cool, but just never got around to listening.

I think Armed Forces is probably my favorite album, but This Year's Model is right up there.

The new Band of Horses is really good, officially comes out Oct 9th. I don't think I like it as much as Everything all the Time, but it's definitely not a disappointment. They were also great live, so try to catch them if you still can

I can't remember if I mentioned Bear vs Shark in the last therad, but they are also really good, but sadly broken up. They are kind of rawer (actual word?) sound, but both of their albums rock. You can check out a few of their songs on myspace, www.myspace.com/bearvsshark

Down With Webster is playing at a bar near campus the day after my 19th (Canada FTW) and I've heard pretty good things about them. Can anyone tell me a thing or two about their music?

i saw bear vs shark live 2 years ago, they were pretty awesome. as far as what i'm listening to, here's some things:

shout out louds- "tonight i have to leave it." i haven't heard the whole album (their 2nd i believe), but i like this single.

kanye's new cd is good, although it's by far his worst.

the new tegan and sara is good, also.

if anyone likes the blood brothers, they have a new side project called jaguar love, the 4 tracks they have so far are pretty awesome.

i just heard a new minus the bear song on tv, i liked menos el oso a lot, but i'm not sure how much i like this. the song is called "knights" if anyone hasn't heard it.

Can't stop listening to MIA.

Can't wait.

Last night was LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire. I was definitely more excited about LCD going in, but both bands put on great shows. It seemed like every member of Arcade Fire made an appearance on stage with LCD at some point. A lot of idiots showed up halfway through or even after LCD's performance just wanting to see AF.

just got the Black Lips' Good Bad Not Evil and Jens Lekman's Night Falls Over Kortedala and love love love both of them, loved both of them right away. Could both be top-5 on the year.

I mention this now because the Black Lips are playing here in Austin tonight, if anyone's around. I won't be going, because Sonic Youth / Meat Puppets is also tonight.

Also, I don't have any fully formed thoughts on Mobius Band's new album yet, but I like them, and I think they're playing here Monday.
