Merriweather Post Pavilion
I know I was sort of late on the AC bandwagon (only really got into them since Strawberry Jam) but I just got a vinyl rip of Merriweather and it is so so good. It's very dense but completely accesible and the whole thing just makes me want to dance like an idiot. Summertime Clothes is the catchiest thing I've heard in months. It's on waffles and I assume elsewhere as well. Check it out, definitely worth it.
Oh yeah, check out Summertime Clothes right here. Right click, save target as, all that jazz.
*Edit* Also, while on the subject of good music, has anyone else heard of the band Here We Go Magic (featuring Luke Temple, who some may have heard of)? They (or he i guess, at least on the album recordings) have this self titled album that I think is out now (can't find where to buy it though) and it is amazing. Check out this song called Tunnelvision here. They are playing SXSW and I am excited to see them.

yeah it's pretty good. i've been hearing these songs at their shows since 2007 so it's nice to hear finished recordings. 'bluish' is my favorite right now. 'my girls' is also great.

yep i bought a copy on the 6th and shit is it nice to have another soundscape by these guys to explore for a while. one that i can dance to? even better.
it was also dorkily fun to be walking around the record store on release day with a copy under my arm just like lots of people in there. i didn't know strawberry jam came out - or was even in the works - until my brother casually mentioned it in a letter to me in kenya. then i had to wait for a CD to cross the ocean.
i always say to anyone who'll listen that this is the group of our times and all sorts of other overblown statements. but damn guys, i love this band.
