Best of 2k10 (so far)

The year is half-way over, and we’ve listened to some amazing music, and some that we initially loved but have since deemed slight disappointments (I’m looking at you She & Him and Vampire Weekend). Anyway, here’s our lists of our Top 10 Albums of 2k10 (so far), for whatever they’re worth:

Oh really Facebook ads?

Really surprised by this. Didn’t realize I had so much in common with fans of Arrested Development. I mean I like Arrested Development and so do they, but then I also like music and then…what do you know?!…Arrested Development fans like music as well!

Informative! The internet, teaching you something new everyday.

Music News (5/27)

The web has been hit with a bunch of high-profile stuff the past few days; I will now recap:

  • First off, Arcade Fire leaked 2 new songs in full:
  • Month of May
  • The Suburbs
  • When not doing that, they found the time to post the album art for their upcoming third record:
  • They also posted the back cover art, which is equally amazing:
  • In non-Arcade Fire news, Vampire Weekend got all Louis XIV-vacays-in-Cali on us in their new video for “Holiday”:
  • Lastly, the new albums from LCD Soundsystem, the Black Keys, and Band of Horses all debuted in the Billboard Top 10 today.  The mainstreamization of indie bands continues…

Have You Heard of Hip Hop?

You may have been under the impression that you heard it all, right? Like you probably think you’re some sort of music expert, correct? Well you haven’t heard nothing yet until you’ve heard this hip-hop stuff (“hip-hop” pictured below).

CHECK OUT DJ E!!!

The Broken Bells’ video for “The High Road”

  • Is this album going to be good?
  • Is James Mercer still relevant?
  • Is Danger Mouse cool/overrated?

Do you like Neon Native Americanz new single? Is it “TIGHT”? Is it “CHILL”?

Did you catch my tween mistake?! I mentioned Selena Gomez starred in “Camp Rock” but I was totally wrong! It was Demi Lovato!!! MY MISTAKE KIDZZZZZ

Star

Will Sleigh Bells be big in 2k10? Do you know who Sleigh Bells is? Do you wish you could live down the hall from a writer for Stereogum?

Is Real Estate still relevant? Is lo-fi over? Will there next album be huge?

Buy some Phoenix tickets for their show in Norfolk at the Norva

You into this pic?

Aesthetic Octopus Radio Show Live Blog 2/6/10

Every week we will be live blogging our radio show. Post requests/comments/famous-sayings in the comments section. Call in at 757-221-3268 to talk to us on the airz!

Would Lady GaGa’s relationship just turn out to be a bad romance? Are we really lame for making such a pun? Should she hook up with James Franco and James Franco’s pillow?

The Sigur Ros documentary is playing at the Kimball Theater two weeks from today. Let’s go see it as a family!

Kids know how to get viral these dayz…

  • Are the kidz already taking over?
  • Could you have come up with this at 5 or 7? Could you come up with this now?
  • Should keyboards be alphabetical?

Lady GaGa + Joanna Newsom collab the greatest thing everz?!!!

We should all get radon checks!!!! A healthy family is a good one.

Backs out of contractz

Justin Bieber unfortunately backed out oh his contract to perform a Soulja Boy medley with Lady GaGa on our show. So blame him. Lady GaGa isn’t here because she is busy getting a boyfriend.

If anyone wants to come into the station and sing Soulja Boy you are more than welcome!!!

Woman are a natural resource

  • Should we start offshore drilling for women? Mining? Do we need alternative sources of women to sustain our civilization?

New Favorite Spam. In reference to a post on a Longcat Fleece Scarf. “Bullet Proof Vests are so important. I have a wife and kids to think about. Always safety first.”

  • Can someone please think about the kids and make a Bullet Proof Longcat Fleece Scarf?!

Snowpocalyspe

Rememberz to lock your doors and windows!!!! Burglar No Burglaring!

Is wearing a live cat on your shirt cool or trying to hard?

  • Is this offensive?

END SHOW!

Ezra Koenig and Chris Baio Explain Contra Track By Track

Informative! Too bad Rostam wasn’t there, because he is the best. Not necessarily any more the best than the other members of Vampire Weekend, but still.

Perhaps you have already read this (if so, you the best as well!), but here is our view of Contra.
