M83 - We Own the Sky

Perfect soundtrack to sitting up in spite of beeing dead tired, after a lazy day with rain outside.

Each shade of blue
Is kept in our eyes
Keep blowing and lighting
Because we own the sky

Secrets from the winds
Burnt stars crying

Soft soft or cruel
Can't we change our minds?
We kill what we build
Because we own the sky

absolutely this. i listen to it quite often. both the album and this song in particular. nice to walk around the city to. am seeing them again in November sometime. One of the best shows I have seen

^ it's arguable, but I don't know if I'm gonna go there without some heavy back-up.

EDIT: FactMagazine - 20 Best: US hardcore - I'd say they do a pretty good job. (their other 20 Best features are good too.)

i think this is a pretty good list. i disagree with the top choice, i would have moved out of step up a few notches, but i do like the unexpected inclusion of bikini kill and heroin, both of which are essential is their sub-genres. i wonder if one of the youth crew bands belongs on this list.

np: black heart procession, the spell

I'm stoked on the discussion that's come out of this. I haven't been buying (or downloading) too many albums in recent years (and I've lost just about all of the ones I did have...) and I need to get up to speed... Factmag also did a sick top 20 Japrock feature that looks really promising, too.

Like I said, got a lot of catching up/recovering to do, so if anyone has suggestions of what I should pick up - pm!

He better come to the US. I understand that your last manager fucked you over, so hire a new one and hire a good lawyer. Millions of people and dollars are waiting for you...

Search the New York Times - there was a good article on them a month ago or so.
