Didn’t mean to imply you “went after them”, Ethan, just an expression.

Beach House’s Teen Dream? Never heard of them. Will start googling.

Thanks for the comments, everybody.

I’ll hopefully be doing some more music writing for PCN and maybe even a little writing on some of the shows I like (Mad Men, Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad).

Right now the only brand new LP that I’m listening to heavily is Beach House’s Teen Dream. They’re a dream-pop band that I was introduced to back in Baltimore. I’ll probably write something about them soon, either here or on my own blog.

As for Vampire Weekend, I hope it didn’t seem like I was “going after” them. They are one of my favorite bands, I just hold them to a high-standard because of the quality of their first album.

Cheers.

I agree with you, Ethan, the first album grabbed me more, but I like this one as well. After the 3rd listening in my car, I started to truly sing out loud. There are more tracks to point out to the masses, but Diplomat’s Son speaks to me on a personal level.

So, will you be doing more CDs? What band are you going after next? PCN is awesome, but I wouldn’t mind a bit more music coverage.

I will agree with Eirego and take it one step further…THIS BAND HAS SOLD OUT!!!

Loved their first album, haven’t picked this one up yet. From the sound of it, maybe I’ll download some of the tunes you mentioned first.

Welcome to PCN, Ethan.
