A very indie release week and a not-very-hardcore one. Sorry brosephs.

I haven’t heard anything on here but the new Decemberists record, so I can’t recommend a whole lot first-hand.

Ones that I’ll probably give a listen: Dan Deacon, 1990s, Fever Ray, Fireworks, Merzbow, Mastodon, MF Doom, Fridge, Mono and Obits. Looks like I’ve got a busy day ahead of me.

   I’m not a huge Mastodon fan but the new one seems alright to me. I like Remission like every other dork, and it will be hard to top something like that.

   I’m not a huge Mastodon fan either, but they’ve got some good stuff. I’ve heard the new one and I like it better than Blood Mountain (which was pretty decent in my opinion), so I’ll probably pick it up at some point.

    I totally want to go to the 10th anniversary show too. I would go with you. It would be the most epic experience ever. But I live in California, so odds are pretty slim.
