Music

M83's "Saturdays=youth" is something I'd been looking forward to for a good while. And now that it's here I wanted to let you all know (despite you not caring) that it is pretty awesome.

I can't rank it amongst their other albums, it's too early for that, but it's certainly better than the previous effort, which was a bit of a letdown in some ways (and yet so awesome in others).

The songs sound more like songs than on the other albums though...meaning, I can actually imagine hearing some of these on the radio. "Graveyard girl" and "Kim & Jessie" in particular.

Whether that's good or not, I'm not sure yet. It's just kind of odd.

I am sure that it's full of great music from start to finish though. If you like this sort of stuff, anyway.

Another band I wanted to mention is Faunts.

I first learned of them upon beating Mass Effect and hearing the end credits song "M4 (part II)". I did some research and got some of their CD's and have been listening since.

Plus, they are from Edmonton. That's kinda cool in my book.
