Material Support describe themselves as “Filipina-fronted agit punk band from NYC, agitated by state repression, government corruption, and patriarchy.” So they had me from the word GO.

Kids See Ghost (Kanye and Kid Cudi) is amazing.

I did not even know these guys released a new album this year. What a nice surprise.

I've been listening to Snail Mail's debut album Lush all through this weekend and it is fantastic!

Neko Case never fails to deliver. The new album Hell-On is great, with some gems like this one.

Any recommendations on any New Pornographers albums I should listen to? I only really listened to Challengers because one of their songs was featured on the TV show Chuck but never really ventured out to their other albums.

I like everything they do, but the first three are first class: Mass Romantic, Electric Version, Twin Cinema.

Solo work - Destroyer, Rubies. AC Newman - Shut Down The Streets.

Agreed. I'd recommend going in chronological order.

The solo works from Destroyer, AC Newman and Neko case are great too. And don't forget Zumpano!

Low getting weird.

Truly a super-group. Members have played in other bands like Limblifter, Cub, Sadies, Evaporators, Immaculate Machine.

I wonder if the entire album is like that.

Subpop put out 4 videos on their Youtube channel today. It does seem like that's typical of what the album is like. It's different from what their usual style, that's for sure.

Yeah, what Troutman et al said.

I also heartily recommend Destroyer, although, I'd recommend the album Kaputt first.

[snootchiebootchies]

Dan Bejar is a drunk and Destroyer sucks. He is the worst.

[troutman]

Being a drunk would disqualify a lot of musicians.

This sounds like a personal grudge. Did he steal your girlfriend/boyfriend? Spill a drink on your shoe? Ignore your latest demo tape?

I heard your record, it's alright.
