The Useless Critic 2.0

Hey everyone! I have returned to present you one very belated music mix. Sounds about right. It was intended more for late summer, but let's not kid ourselves. I hope y'all enjoy it. I've got Beach House, Andrew Bird, some new Spoon, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. The Neighbourhood is on there as well because that song gets stuck in my head all the time. Zach has some content planned for October btws. Besides pumpkin spice lattes and football at bad neighborhood sports bars, there's another thing to love about fall!

Song of the Day Supergroup of Spoon, Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs. AWESOME

it's like I'm shouting at you! I feel like the new Arcade Fire just emerged out of no where. no where! and then, while doing my daily hype machine (holla) cruise, I came across it! and I was like- mind explooooooooode! I still feel like Neon Bible was not that long ago. when in actuality, it was. I was still a sophomore. crap, I remember how it felt when Funeral was big. in high school! "have you heard of Arcade Fire?" oh wow I'm aging myself. I was like, tenth or eleventh grade. no, eleventh, because it was around Footsteps time. hey Jason, if you read this, I'm giving you a shoutout. I just listened to "The Suburbs" and it's not bad. not bad at all. but then again it's Arcade Fire I'm sure this new album is going to be like Revolver good or something. Have you heard it? What are your thoughts? They're playing in Maryland in August with Spoon. SPOON. SPOON. JESUS. I will probably not go because I am broke and not driving. but I woul...

- New Beach House. - New Spoon. - New Surfer Blood. of the above, what is the best? O_O also, isn't the Coachella line-up pretty swell? THE WHITE STRIPES? SIGUR ROS? OMG WHO WANTS TO TAKE ME THERE

got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows. http://www.sendspace.com/file/1mk9z7 (I almost saw Spoon last summer at the New American Music Union Festival in Pittsburgh. which would have been so fucking awesome....except my friend cancelled on me. I luckily sold my ticket in the knick of time, but found out later that a bunch of my friends ended up going and getting drunk and I was like "oh you guys! did you at least check out THE DUKE SPIRIT?" and they were all like "LOL WE WERE SO WASTED" I wanted to cry. Speaking of, I take it they're not having another one? that kind of sucks. it was a good deal for what you got- Bob Dylan, Spoon, The Duke Spirit, Gnarls Barkley, The Raconteurs. I guess the next closest thing you have is The Virgin Mobile Free Fest. And they never had another Kuyahoga, either. I dreamt I organized a music festival. had a pretty kickass line-up, No Doubt and Passion Pit. I should do that for a living.) Christopher Bell (what I heard of him) ...
