Yeasayer

This has been the Pitchfork commentary blog lately, but yet again, Pitchfork has failed. They gave Yeasayer's Odd Blood 6.1 rating. This should be on the best new music list. Seriously. I have listened to this album on repeat since I first heard it in December. It is so good! Their last album was so-so. Some good stuff, but also some filler. This album, though, is fabulous. I see what Pitchfork's saying about lyrics being a bit weak, but even the "makin' love til the morning light" lyric comes off catchy to me because of the rhythm and the melody.

And the long line of people waiting in the rain to see them at LA's Natural History Museum a good 10 hours before they were scheduled to perform is evidence that I'm not alone in that feeling.
