Download a free live album from Yeasayer →
givingupthegun: This band produced one of the finest albums of 2010. seconding katie’s assessment here, and also insisting that you download. i saw yeasayer in 2009 and it remains one of the best shows of my life. i am only on “wait for the summertime” right now, but i can tell you that this is one of the best christmas presents i have received this year. thank you chris,...

1. your current favorite artist
EPIC THREE WAY TIE. here they are, in no order. i have written enough about all these bands so i will refrain from captioning, but if you click the link you can watch really great live performance videos.  MENOMENA.  OBERHOFER.  THE WALKMEN.  thinking about the ridiculousness of this list is really fun. i mean, these are my three favorite bands right now, and they are NOT alike. i suppose...

OBERHOFER. “LANDLINE.” tell me this is not one of the best songs and most fun shoutable choruses ever conceived by mankind. then go listen to the whole EP (which brad will still email to you for free if you just ask) and tell me it is not one of the most concise and self-defining and unique pieces of work you have heard in a while. then go see this band live, and then honestly tell me...

xmas 2k10
jonathan lethem: You still collect precious artifacts? You showed me a few amazing things earlier. Patti let me hold Arthur Rimbaud’s calling card this morning.
patti smith: I have such nice things. I have a couple of letters of H.P. Lovecraft’s, a watercolor of Hermann Hesse’s, a page from Jim Morrison’s last notebook. All of these things we don’t really own; we have a guardianship of them for a while. I look at them, I play with them.
