Other than CMJ, this is by far the best music festival in the US.  I don’t have the time and/or patience to list the hundreds of bands announced to play, but some of my favorites include: Alabama Shakes, Built to Spill, The Magnetic Fields, Talib Kweli, The Drums, Bear In Heaven, Deerhoof, The War on Drugs, Miniature Tigers, SBTRKT, Best Coast, M. Ward, Youth Lagoon, Tennis, Dan Deacon, Lana Del Rey, The Ting Tings, YACHT, Band of Skulls, White Rabbits, Freelance Whales, and Sharon Van Etten.

Short and sweet today (aka laziness).

Gorgeous, hypnotic new ethereal pop (that still manages to bump) from the amazing Grimes, taken from one of our most anticipated records of 2012, her forthcoming LP Visions. [source]

The Alabama Shakes are going to have a HUGE 2012.  If you don’t believe me, listen to the track below and enjoy that feeling of “I told you so”.

This last Summer, Pepper Rabbit released their followup to 2010’s Beauregard.  The new LP was a big favorite of mine and on the cusp of being one of my top 10 favorites.  If you’re a fan of experimental dream pop, you definitely need to give Pepper Rabbit a proper listen.
