Grossly belated as this may be, there are certain gospels that need preaching at any possible opportunity. And though Floridian Yuno (previously unouomedude) may have released the distinctly estival Sunlight last August, it's a scintillating ray that's still well worth the spreading. Like a jejune Deerhunter intermingled with earlier AnCo recordings and the poppier sensibilities of a certain Chazwick Bundick, it's a suitably warming sliver of shimmering Southeast Coast ebullience, even amid these gelid February climes. The ultimate all year round wonder then, get enlightened below... Sunlight by Yuno Yuno's [...]

![[News] Governors Ball 2013 Announces Full Lineup, and It's Awesome](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4735337_lg.jpg)
The Governors Ball Music Festival , which takes place every June on Randall's Island in NYC, has announced the lineup for the 2013 festival, and it's absolutely awesome. With headliners like Kanye West and Kings of Leon, the lineup goes from "meh" to "holy crap" very quickly. Continuing the awesomeness are Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Beach House, Grizzly Bear, The xx, Cut Copy, Animal Collective, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Bloc Party, Local Natives, Crystal Castles, Dirty Projectors, Holy Ghost!, Death From Above 1979, Japandroids, and so many more. Of note, there's one name that is blacked out, which we're [...]
Just after the lineup was revealed for the Roots Picnic, a much bigger summer festival lineup hits the Internet. It seems like the Governor's Ball in New York City grows every year, this time bringing on some huge headliners in Kanye West and Kings of Leon. There seems to be another named blacked out on the poster, so we are hoping that gets revealed in the near future. Anyway, other notables on the three-day Randall's Island festival lineup include Freddie Gibbs, Pretty Lights, Nas, Erykah Badu, Beach House, Thievery Corporation, the XX, Kendrick Lamar, Bloc Party, Yeasayer, Dirty [...]
I had a great time at the Governors Ball last year. With the 2013 lineup announcement, it seems like the festival is growing a lot bigger. Not only is there another day added (June 7,8,9) but the quality and size of the artists particiapting this year seem to be on an all-around grander scale. Headliners include Kanye West, Kings Of Leon and a secret guest that will be announced later. Also playing are Nas, Grizzly Bear, The xx, Kendrick Lamar, Beach House, Cut Copy, Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Bloc Party, Beirut, Local Natives, Death From Above 1979, [...]

Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 2 (50-1) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]
My top ten for the year, with a brief explanation/comment. Enjoy & Happy New Year! ...... 1. Grizzly Bear – Shields The guys in Grizzly Bear killing it, once again. This record is almost perfect. The compositions are strange & beautiful, and they complement the haunting singing styles of Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen. If you didn’t get this album – you missed (but there's still time!). Check Out: Yet Again [mp3] [...]
Two Thousand Twelve / Songs “Thinkin’ Bout You” / Frank Ocean No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool / Enough to kick it / Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho / Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute / That's why I kiss you / Got a fighter jet, I don't get to fly it, though And it goes [...]
We debated, we disagreed, we came up with our collective best 50 albums of 2012.
Podría arrancar esta nota con algún latiguillo aburrido como "Se nos termina un nuevo año y..." . Pero no lo voy a hacer, más que nada porque supongo que todos ya saben que está terminando el año. Y los que no lo saben se están dando cuenta mientras leen estas líneas donde indirectamente -y a mi pesar- lo termino diciendo. La cuestión es que para estas fechas aparecen siempre los balances anuales, esa especie de trampa psicológica que la gente usa para convencerse que las cosas salieron bastante bien y que seguramente el año que viene, si el universo [...]
We're all going to die on December 21, which is fine. Nothing like going down in a big, fiery blaze because some long-dead culture decided December 21, 2012 was the [...] The post The 12 Other Albums You Should've Listened to This Year appeared first on The Smoking Section .

A number of people have asked about this, so we've made available a very small number of our original, framed polaroids for sale . Part of the proceeds from each photograph will go to benefit a very important cause . Read more here .
Oh, what glorious days for us, indiekiddo’s. Psychedelische goden Animal Collective persten twee nieuwe liedjes op 7” ( http://www.myanimalhome.net/ ) en Beach House zette zomaar eventjes zijn hele nieuwe cd ‘In Bloom’ te streamen. Voor diegenen wiens internet niet overspoeld werd door de leak enkele weken geleden: NPR is je vriend . Rejoice!
It was a cold and rainy day but didn't stop people for Record Store Day 2012. Surprised by the turnout when I got to Vertigo Records at 8:30am. There was already people in line, I was around the 20th person. Last year I was one of five people who got there at around that time. I guess the buzz and hype surrounding Record Store Day is a good thing for the indie record shops. I totally zoom by this year's event. Here is a list of what I bought. [...]
