Let's just agree that 2012 is already one of the best years ever in music and doesn't look like it's going to decline from here until September. Exciting times to be a music nerd. :parrot:

2012 has the potential to be the best year of music of the new decade (maybe even since 06-07). Swans, Neurosis, Modest Mouse, Death Grips, Matthew Dear, Animal Collective, Why?, Gojira, Converge, Aesop Rock...most of my favorite artists are releasing albums this year. Man if only Tom Waits and Radiohead and plans to release albums this year...

EDIT - I suppose there is a chance that Radiohead may release an album this year. A quick scour of google just says that Radiohead entered the studio in winter of 2012 but given their nature of not announcing albums until a week before or so maybe they'll knock one out before the end of the year.

EDIT - Holy shit. Forgot about Scott Walker releasing an album this fall. I'm gonna go broke from buying CDs again.

I really like the semi-new Passion Pit song, way better than the totally terrible "Take a Walk" that came out a little bit back

has anyone listened the album yet? i think its pretty good. wasn't immediate like manners was but it definitely gets better from the first to second listen.

Oh it's out? Or leaked? Decent quality?

Damn, just went to my third Dam-Funk show, and I think it was the best one I've seen yet. He is now performing with a super talented bassist and the former Mars Volta drummer, who is surprisingly funky. His encore was a big medley of 70s funk instrumentals, which he began with Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover." Perfect.

I have a 268 VBR leak and it sounds just as good as albums I've ripped myself.

A few times. It's not as consistent as Manners, nor does it have the same highs, but it's a good album all the same.

well i saw refused last night and liars on saturday. liars were okay, but refused, holy shit guys. my expectations were pretty low, aging punks i mean what do they have after all these years? turns out it was amongst the 10 best shows i have ever seen, completely mindblowing and fun experience, they sound as tight and loud as ever and dennis lyxzen's voice is completely intact. pretty sure i don't need to see another hardcore band for as long as i live.
