stopping to digest
I've given most of yesterday's binge a listen-through, and I've divided them into rough categories, all of which are fairly self-explanatory.
[Updated: Monday, May 10] listened to the other stuff, added a new category:
- Fuck, Why Wasn't I Listening to This When It Came Out?
- Pavement - Terror Twilight
- Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Love at First Listen: - The Walkmen - Bows and Arrows
- Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
- The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
- Metric - Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
Affection: - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak
- British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power
- Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica (not the rerelease)
- Les Savy Fav - Inches
Will Probably Grow On Me: - The Walkmen - Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone
- Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
