Stream New CDs: National, Elkland, Annie

  • The National Alligator
  • Elkland Golden
  • Annie Anniemal

    Stereogum-fave Annie is playing her first US show ever this week.
    THU 4/14 @ Tribeca Grand
    It's free. She's also DJing at Misshapes.
    SAT 4/16 @ Luke & Leroys

    Maybe it's a blessing in disguise I'll be out of town. These events are going to be fuckingpacked. If you like Annie and Bloc Party (and Boredoms and Kano), read Vice: Behind The Label (link via Brooklyn Vegan).

    Ah, Vice magazine: Advertising many brands of clothing no-one outside of New York has EVER heard of!!

    PS. Anniemal is new? I picked it up at the Times Square Virgin Megastore back in February. (Import, obvs.)

    Ah Vice, dictating to hipsters everywhere their special blend of what's cool, which includes $100 t-shirts and mountain dew ads apparently. $100 T-shirts are so punk rock. Dig That Annie CD though.

    Man, Elkland might be the very worst lyricists ever. EVER! (but the music's not bad)

    Uh, I'd like to say that Elkland are terrific lyricists. I mean, common, they do not have to rely on the same-o same-o gutter sex lyrics that are the only thing that make other bands famous. To write songs that speak of the purity of love such as Abandon, We Share A Heart, Night Cranes, and Apart shows great talent and explain why Elkland are making a 10 year 6 figure income. Elkland does not prostitute themselves. They also do not have to be gay to make it in a predominately gay style of music.
