I don't exactly know why, but I really can't stand ironic bluegrass covers of pop songs.

Yup, I am right there with you. So many things going on there.

2 - This album by Flying Lotus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rmFTc51Zk0

I love Flying Lotus so much. He has a station in GTA V and it's pretty cool.

What if they covered it because they actually liked the song? Would you like it then?

Good point. I'm not crazy about it but I don't see the irony. Musicians of one genre have been covering songs from apparently disparate genres forever.

Do you think they really like that song so much they want to make it a part of their repertoire?

Perhaps you're right. More likely it's a cynical bid to trick Miley Cyrus fans into listening to their music.

no way, more like this.

I am approaching One Year of Brooklyn Zoo and I have never loved it more.

I KEEP PLANETS IN ORBIT.

There is a part in Savage Detectives where a character talks about how young men want to make art for desperate people in desperate times, while old men make art for contemplation-- it's a better business strategy because everyone is always getting older. Fuck that.

Most true. Someone invited me to a Brazilian Music group in Facebook and it's truly an embarrassment of riches. Will share more soon.

My really talented roommate recently did a one-man performance of his songs, and I was so impressed. Obviously I can hear him playing in the basement, but seeing it all put together up on stage was awesome.
Now he released recordings of some of them and I do not love the way they were recorded. I think he has said he wants to record them "for real" but someone wanted to release his basement tapes and he said sure.

Also, I don't want to have this argument again but they were released as tapes.

I really like all of his (the ones that say Strong Force) but my favorites are In a Hole and Azrael. He did a cool thing with a guitar pedal on In a Hole that is completely awesome, I can't stop being impressed by it. Especially live, seeing someone making these weird glitchy noises was very cool in the middle of a set of fingerpicking.

Yesterday I put my guitar in a weird tuning (I guess it is just Open D) and learned to play this song, which is incredibly satisfying. Real Estate might be some kind of Indie Rock Kryptonite for me. They are so wimpy, but the guitars kill me. Especially when the bass drum accents each super-reverbed note. So good.
