I recommend you give Astro Coast a listen. Especially since I see you have an interest in 90's music. Surfer Blood are a good mix of alt influences (Pixies, Pavement) and indie (Vampire Weekend). If you are up for something different, try Causers of This. Its my favorite album so far (although I haven't listened to Joanna Newsom's album yet, I hear it is AMAZING.)

I just started to listen to Astro Coast yesterday. I'm going to get around to Causers of This. Astro Coast is good so far, I've only played it a couple of times. I think they kind of sound like the Shins with more guitars. I think I'll be getting Plastic Beach soon, I haven't been let down by the Gorrilaz yet.

Nice taste dude, I saw that you went to an Urge concert they were gods when I went to school lol.

LOL, I did not know it was possible to be good at RYM but I try to be.

I agree with your review for "How to Disappear Completely" 100%.

Thanks, Man!

Thanks, dude!! Beck is one of my two favorite artists so it makes me sad that I don't like his new album. I have another friend who thinks it's one of his best. Other than the amazing "Blue Moon" and great "Wave", I am just completely underwhelmed by it. A lot of people love it though so you shouldn't feel alone!
