Joel's Choices

Ambinate - Horizon EP: For some reason I've listened to this more while trying to get motivated than as a decompression tool, and I think that stems from the fact that imagining myself pulling three footers gets me excited now that I'm pot-free. If you've ever needed a reason to sit and do nothing, Ambinate is the perfect fucking soundtrack. Plus I hear he's Armenian.

A Silent Film - Sand & Snow: This band is fucking awesome. Also, this is the one album my wife has joined me in adoring the piss out of. It sounds super-produced and I think it was a purposeful intention, because it sounds monstrously fucking gorgeous. Del LeFevre is a piece of shit.

Scoundrels - Sexy Weekend EP: The voice on this dude is one of my favorite voices in rock today, it's both labored and effortless, and if their laundry bill have anything to say about them, these muthafuckers stink. I like my rock singers like I like my prison wardens: contrarian, shingle-hoofed, and named Shamus. I LOVE THIS BAND.
