Edd Hannay put together a really neat player that shows you “the track list, there’s a list of which songs are being played, as they’re played.”

I know the image may be a little… strange, but I really have fallen for Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti’s new single, “Round and Round.” I’ve nearly got the above video on repeat! It’s a little weird and somewhat awkward at the beginning. Once the song hits its stride, holy carp, amazing things happen! Their new album, Before Today is due out June 8, and if this is any indication for how the rest of the album is going to be, it’s going to be one genius record!

Sounds of Silver was, hands-down, my favorite album of 2007 (which is saying something considering In Rainbows came out the same year); so, needless to say I was extremely excited to hear about a follow up: This is Happening!

Due to leaks DFA has put the album, in its entirety, up. And while it’s no Sounds of Silver (not that it should be), This is Happening is a great album and still full of that wit and passion that I love from Mr. Murphy. “Dance Yrself Clean” is epically good! AND he added another NYC show! Excitement!

Man, so far, 2010 has been an amazing year of music (Vampire Weekend, Gorillaz, Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Caribou)… Have a fan-taboulous weekend!

I’ve been rocking out to Phoenix’s new album for roughly a week, now, so, needless to say this tickled me greatly!

’09 will be a great year of music if Animal Collective has anything to say about it! There is something that absolutely fascinates me about the evolution of a band/artist. To watch them transform and still remain true to themselves. Animal Collective has made this look/sound nearly effortless, intriguing, and beautiful. Keep rollin’ fellas!

Rating: 9.6
Since their inception, Animal Collective have wandered the territorial edges of music, scoping out where boundaries had been erected and looking beyond them. They’ve punctuated perfectly likeable indie rock songs with bleating vocalizations. They’ve seeded pretty instrumentals with irritating noise. They’ve juxtaposed West African rhythms and melodies cribbed from British folk. They’ve stayed on a single chord for 10 minutes. But Merriweather feels like a joyous meeting in a well-earned, middle place– the result of all their explorations pieced together to create something accessible and complete.

Although it will be tagged as Animal Collective’s “pop” album, Merriweather Post Pavilion remains drenched in their idiosyncratic sound, a record that no one else could have made. The album is named for a Maryland venue that last year played host to Santana, Sheryl Crow, and John Mayer, but its songs won’t be heard on the radio, and besides, Animal Collective’s M.O. requires them to exist outside of rigid formats. Nonetheless, they’ve found a natural way to integrate the sing-along melodies, sticky hooks, and driving percussion that have long been hallmarks of celebratory popular music.

I’ve been so into the apartment recently, I’ve been slacking off on keeping up with my music. I was going to put this “Weekly Album” series on a little hiatus, or until I found some really good music. I still think I’m planning on doing this; so it’ll be more “Great Albums” and less “Weekly.”

Well, just this morning, my great friend, Morgan, pointed me in the direction of Lykke Li and I have fallen head over heals for her in the past few hours I’ve been listening and researching. Beautiful words, beautiful voice and a beautiful face. …If nothing else her dancing, much like MIA, makes me happy through and through!

With so many surprises in the arrangements, you might overlook what a strength Li herself is, how well she unifies Youth Novels’ scattershot imagination. It’s easy to dismiss her style as overly cutesy– the babytalk chorus on first single “Little Bit”, for instance– and her fragility can seem annoyingly affected. But don’t be fooled– she’s in total command of the songs, and her breathy fuzziness fits the wireframe aesthetic better than a fuller voice would. There are also hints that Li would be as happy with a richer sound– on the beautiful “My” she’s rolled and washed by cymbal, string, and echo and lets them envelop her without erasing her.

And this is my new favorite song, “Little Bit”:
