		<description><![CDATA[All My Life I Will Wait To Attain It By Taylor K. Long At some point in our 20s, we inevitably feel what can best be described as a burden of proof. We begin noticing milestones, the age of achievements. How Michelangelo was 29 when he finished “David.” How Franz Liszt was famous and touring Europe by the age of 30. The stream of brilliant young minds is endless; every generation will have its Mark Zuckerbergs and Beyoncés and Téa Obrehts to compare themselves to. This feeling causes us to scratch at the walls, imagined or otherwise, desperate to push things out into the world, to keep pace, to claim our stake in front of the eyes of our peers. Robin Pecknold, primary Fleet Foxes scribe, was 22 when their self-titled debut was released, an album that has since reached Platinum-level (1,000,000+) sales in the UK and very nearly Gold (408,000+) in the US. What do you do when you’re 23 and you know your next work will be devoured by the judgmental ears of over a million people? If you’re Pecknold, you take three years and you write an album, scrap it, then write another one, moving to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Taylor K. Long While record browsing with a friend at Greenpoint’s Permanent Records last week, I found a copy of the Long Winters album, When I Pretend To Fall in the .99 section and realized that though I love it, I don’t own it in any physical form. The kind clerk informed me that .99 CDs were three for $1, so essentially I could pick out two more CDs for free. When deciding which CDs to get, I wondered, Should I pick something random and hope it’s good? What are the odds of something in the .99 section being good? There are things here that I like, should I go with something safe that I already know I like? Should I get something I might not otherwise want to pay full price for? There are many forces influencing the albums, films and books we choose, so here is a snapshot of the forces that drove me to buy the albums I bought that day (both for .99 and otherwise). The Long Winters, When I Pretend To Fall As mentioned, found in the .99 section, but the price certainly doesn’t reflect quality. This is my favorite album from the Seattle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Love is a battley by Howard Lee Lyon By Howard Lee Lyon Some acquaintance (friend) was at the bar the other night pontificating freely, wrickedly raging upset and morbosed-out about some era-bygone classmate&#8217;s commit to suicide. They found him that morning, bored a hole in his face with a piece of metal on metal quick-action, probably something semi-automatic. (One&#8217;s gotta question that phrase, &#8220;semi-automatic.&#8221; For us literate-brained querists, how is something &#8220;somewhat automatic&#8221;? Automatic sounds like a term dealing with absolutes and when you start adding prefixes to it, that means we got variants and degrees hidden in &#8220;automatics.&#8221; Thus, absolutes are just another aspect of tragi-comic modern life as warfare, nothing is intrinsic and nothing has meaning, parody we slowly see setting in, which of course is microcosmic of suicide in itself, and the questions raised around suicide. Is it a semi-automatic reaction, I would guess not, I would say a thorough assessment and assertion of the facts at hand. I&#8217;ve gone too far.) As this dear friend continued his lament of the one-finite-decision made individual, he became visually irked with this idea, which I have propagated mindfully in past times, that suicide is selfish, a rash quick-fix decision [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I Had An Orchard, I&#8217;d Work &#8216;Til I&#8217;m Raw By Taylor K. Long Sometimes it feels like a song has been written with a piece of you. Like someone invaded your house when you weren’t there, sat on your bed with a cup of tea, and looked at your old photos, read all your e-mails, and all of your notebooks. This is what it feels like every time I hear &#8220;Helplessness Blues,&#8221; the first single and title track from the Fleet Foxes’ second album. It feels like Robin Pecknold found a portal into my head, Being John Malkovich style. Fleet Foxes, Helplessness Blues (download) I was raised up believing I was somehow unique Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes Unique in each way you can see Most of us have aspirations of doing wonderful, special things. We want to live our own individual stories, in which we create or do something never done before. In the spinning of our tales, we do and have it all, and we get it in the most magnificent fashion. We have a legacy. And now after some thinking I’d say I’d rather be A functioning cog in some great machinery Serving something beyond [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Wild Beasts came to New York City last fall, they found themselves in the pressured position of having a lot to prove. They&#8217;d made only one US trek beforehand, to SXSW. Members of the press came out in droves to hear and see the UK foursome, now on their second album, Two Dancers, which had been graced with Pitchfork&#8217;s coveted &#8220;Best New Music&#8221; moniker. The Beasts didn&#8217;t crack under the pressure, they roared, seducing all ears and eyes in their path. Closing out their first full US tour in Brooklyn, the Wild Beasts were relaxed and giddy, coming off what must&#8217;ve been a successful run of dates. It helped, no doubt, that the crowd was rapturous and vocal in their support. &#8220;You guys are great and we&#8217;ve hardly even started,&#8221; Tom said after the second song, &#8220;We Still Got The Taste Dancing On Our Tongues.&#8221; One guy jumped up on stage during the boisterous &#8220;Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants,&#8221; to join the band in their singing &#38; dancing. And do they ever dance! None of this &#8220;sullen,&#8221; &#8220;tortured&#8221; act that too many artists try to use as an excuse for behaving as though they don&#8217;t enjoy their own music.

		<description><![CDATA[Alternately titled: How I got in to Two Sold Out Yeasayer Shows in New York City, A Tale of Happiness &#38; Triumph One of the biggest challenges a music writer can face is writing about a band you adore. Sometimes you like something so much that the task of describing it is an overwhelming pressure. You want to do it justice, you don&#8217;t want to over-sell it, but you want to convey just what makes it so fantastic. Sometimes all that comes out of your mind is a jumble of generic positivity (which, if you ask me, is more the reason behind the hyperbolic tendencies of the blogosphere than anything else). This week, I attended my sixth and seventh Yeasayer shows &#8211; all within the past two years. I&#8217;ve seen the psych-pop-folk-rock outfit from Brooklyn more times than any other band in those years, and although they&#8217;ve completely shown-up every band they opened for (MGMT, the National, Man Man) or played with (Amazing Baby, Suckers), I only wrote about one of those shows. There&#8217;s a reason for this, and that reason is the challenge of describing what I like about Yeasayer in anything other than hyperbole. There&#8217;s also the fact [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not so smug as to think that I can pin-point the albums that will, in retrospect, stand out the most from the 2000s. Nor would it be accurate to argue that the albums that affected me the most on a personal level were &#8220;the best.&#8221; But if I were to completely take the personal part out of my own list, you might as well just read anyone&#8217;s list. There has to be an aspect of me in my list. So, these are neither the most personal albums nor the albums that I think shaped the 2000s. They are a combination of those two things: The albums that shaped my personal taste in the 2000s. For an album to qualify, it either had to (a) suffer endless replay &#8211; including currently, not just the year it was released &#8211; or (b) be an album that completely redefined how I listened to and thought about music. If it fit both qualities, even better. This system cut out a lot of sentimental favorites that I haven&#8217;t touched since I outgrew them, albums that were so digestible as to be unable to stand the test of time, and a lot of &#8220;popular&#8221; or [...]]]></description>
