Friday Links

I was going to do a Sunday Links thing every Sunday, but why should I discriminate against the other perfectly capable days of the week? Oh yes, I went there.

So to the question of when these will happen will be subject to my personal discretion, or sometimes based on impulse or caprice (or in other words, whenever I want to). Here are your Friday Links, I expect you to click them all, because they’re all pretty much amazing.

Listen to, Preview, and HEART all of the music posted on PMA.

Frank(ie) Ramz posted this fantastic video on Pigeons & Planes. If you sort of like Asher Roth, or even sort of hate him, you might enjoy this. “I Hate High School.”

MGMT cover Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer.” Not sure how old this is, but I like it. Saw it at Rollo & Grady via Bleakey. I wanna fuck you like a DINOSAUR!

Stereogum told us that Radiohead are fast at work on an In Rainbows follow-up. Mass hysteria ensues.

New Music Tues. Giveaway Asher Roth, Pet Shop Boys, et al giveawaysAsher Roth, Asleep In The Bread Aisle
[Buy][iTunes]
Two-Listen Verdict: “Asleep In The Bread Aisle,” is not a horrible album, but the sometimes witty Asher Roth and the sporadic good lines can’t save this bland, boring album. 5.2/10

New Music Tues. Giveaway Asher Roth, Pet Shop Boys, et al giveawaysPet Shop Boys, Yes
[buy][iTunes]
Two-Listen Verdict: It’s been a while since PSB have released an album that has been so modern, classic, and downright danceable. Just so you know, this deserves for than just two listens. 7.7/10

Depeche Mode, Sounds Of The Universe
[Buy][iTunes]
Two-Listen Verdict: It happened. Depeche Mode have released two back to back albums that shoves everyone’s “washed-up” remarks back into their despicable faces. It’s tremblingly dark and starkly original. 7/10

Asher Roth – I Love College

Asher Roth I Love College listen
[rating:67/100]
I really, really didn’t like Asher Roth, or “I Love College” when I first took a listen. Even when this guy was the hip hop blogs’ little bitch, I couldn’t get over how much he sounds like Eminem. It was almost insulting that he was getting so much attention when it seemed that he was just mimicking Slim Shady circa-The Slim Shady LP. He even sounds like Eminem during “I Love College”’s speaking parts.

So why do I like it now? Blame these two stations. After repeated plays by a couple of my regular traffic-jam radio stations, I took a mild liking towards Asher Roth’s “I Love College.” The beat is laid back and it has a very stoned feeling to it. Or maybe it has a sentimental drunk feeling to it. Also, to be honest, Roth speaks nothing but the truth about what college is like nowadays. For all of us who are done with college, can we really say not say: i cant tell you what i learned from school/but i could tell you a story or two? I can definitely relate to this. It’s also good to know that this song doesn’t just belittle the standing getting an actual education has in the Average Joe’s college career — it also teaches us some valuable life lessons, that any Joe can pick up in college.
