And time goes by, and you've got a lot to learn in your life.

There are a bunch of really amazing albums out right now, and two of my favorites are Sleigh Bells and Future Islands.
In my mind, they're like the light sister and dark brother to one another.
Plus I envy this voice. Plus that cold tin-drum sounding synth. Very The Knife-esque. Love it.

Youth is not wasted on the young.

The Sleigh Bells album is finally out today and I have to say, it's pretty damn awesome.
Lots of hype, for sure, but just ignore that and listen to what they're up to, which is some serious new-species-pop-music.
Just ask Sasha Frere-Jones.
He's with us.
