M83 - Saturdays=Youth (2008) 05/20/2010
 Track List: 1. "You, Appearing" - 3:39 2. "Kim & Jessie" - 5:23 3. "Skin of the Night" - 6:13 4. "Graveyard Girl" - 4:51 5. "Couleurs" - 8:34 6. "Up!" - 4:28 7. "We Own the Sky" - 5:03 8. "Highway of Endless Dreams" - 4:35 9. "Too Late" - 5:00 10. "Dark Moves of Love" - 3:19 11. "Midnight Souls Still Remain" - 11:11 Woodshed: Shoegaze, ambient, and dream pop are all great genres to categorize this album, if you must do so. "Kim & Jessie" is by far the most logical song for most listeners, propelling ears and minds into the stars right from the jump. Saturdays=Youth is some hazy synth-ballad-pop action that only true alt. bro's such as myself can respect.

"Farewell Fire" - 8:26 Woodshed: I had some university studies to tend to, but it seems to be summer now so I'll close the books momentarily and get back to being the awesome blogger that I am. This is some new wave electro space age hippy shit from 2005, of which you will admire because there's no vocalist to butcher any of it! Oh and I'm done rating albums.... mainly because I'm lazy (yeah piss off), so if the music is good, it will be posted, no matter the degree of goodness! Buy the album here.

 Track List:
Woodshed: Swim is incredibly visual, a multi-leveled modulating planet that orbits over a colorful canvas like Pollock's paintbrush. No rating, not sure if I fully comprehend it all yet, just make sure you listen to "Kaili" all the way through. -----Ok, I'm back and my mind's been blown, amazing album. DL here. 200lb Chimp - Indie Music Blog  Track List:
Woodshed: Simple and refreshing, these 3 ladies from brooklyn have got what it takes to make the Woodshed cut. Still Night, Still Light is filled with pianos and casio-laden goodness, as are most of my picks. What I really enjoy about this album is that it doesn't try to force anything crazy on you, just fair melodies and normalcy. A breath of fresh non-weird indie air.

 Track List: 1. Cynthia 2. Soft Denial 3. Mien 4. Pilfer 5. Day We Met Woodshed: More of the ultra cool chillwave genre coming at ya. Don't know much about these guys but they are currently touring all across the globe and they only have 1,000 or so friends on myspace... (No, I'm not using myspace as a standard now, just thought they would have had a bazillion pals). Rating: 7.5/10 DL here. 200lb Chimp - Indie Music Blog LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening (2010) 04/14/2010
 Track List: 1. Dance Yrself Clean 2. Drunk Girls 3. One Touch 4. All I Want 5. Change 6. Hit 7. Pow Pow 8. Somebody’s Calling Me 9. What You Need Wizard Staff: Just got this album. I am about to put it in the ipod, so I haven't had time to write a review. I know you want it badly so here ya go. Review to follow soon. Woodshed: Weak sauce. Another album that had the platform and the pull to be huge. Fail. Most of the songs are like 6 - 7 minutes long and redundant as piss. There are a few decent head nodders on here but for the most part I'm turning my nose up on this album. Sorry LCD, you and MGMT can release your redeeming albums any time now, we're waiting. Rating: 6/10 Mr. O: I hate to disagree with you Woodshed, but I'm digging this quite a bit. The first listen through was a little slow for me, but like Sound of Silver this is an album that is going to grow and grow on me. I'm two times through the album and I think its pretty great. I love long songs so that doesn't bother me, and the beats and vocals on this are kind of hypnotic, so before I knew it it was over. Oh yeah and "Dance Yrself Clean" is my new jam.

 Track List: 1. Get Up 2. New Theory 3. Hold Out 4. Feel It All Around 5. Lately 6. You'll See It Woodshed: Carles from HipsterRunoff.com coined the term "chillwave" when describing this band. And so the forces that be make it so that I too must refer to them as such. You however, can call it whatever the fuck you want, as long as you use the term "chillwave" alright? Chillwave.

 Track List:
Woodshed: They're Norwegian downbeat, electro, synth-pop, trip-hop gangstas... and you will listen to this album today & 4 always. Thanks.
