I'm listening to the new Cloud Nothings album for the first time today and I'm liking it. Possibly the first good album of 2012 for me.

Their last album was full of hooks, but was too saccharin and became annoying really fast. The new one, Attack on Memory sounds different, more mature and seems like it may have a bit more staying power.

I can't quite put my thumb on it, but this feels a bit like the first Foo Fighters album to me. It sits somewhere between grunge, punk and arena rock. (Pitchfork compared the second track to Everlong, so maybe it's a comparison I've made subconciously. I don't think it sounds like that song, but could have come straight off the preceding Foo Fighters album.) I'm sure there are better (or at least more indie cred-worthy) touchstones for this album than that one, but they're lost on me.

The new Dr. Dog album "Be The Void" came out today, and it is fantastic.

Pitchfork: Bradford Cox Shocks Audience in Minneapolis, Covers "My Sharona" for an Hour

Wears ski mask, tells audience to remove clothes and pick up chairs, dedicates show to "the death of folk and the birth of punk"
"It morphed into something bizarre," City Pages wrote, noting that he was joined by the night's openers, Frankie Broyles and Carnivores, for "an unending cover that rivaled the length of a Phish concert." He ordered the man who asked for the song to take the stage and strip down to his underwear, and repeatedly stated that "this is what happens when you make requests."

Pitchfork:
Bradford Cox Talks "Shocking" Minneapolis Show

choice quotes:

"It was one of the best performances I've done since Deerhunter started,"

"I am just a little, tiny punk person," he said. "It's not like fucking Lana Del Rey carved an upside down cross on her cheek and defecated all over herself on stage at fucking Bonnaroo."

"...the only person I asked to strip was the person who commandeered my stage [by requesting 'My Sharona'] and made the show about his self-interest. I tried to emasculate somebody whose ego was super potent. He asked me to strip when he called out the name of the song. It was a joke; he's basically throwing a dollar bill at the foot of the stripper. And I?m just saying hey, let's reverse the roles. Come on stage. Do something entertaining. Entertain me."

"I am a terrorist. As a homosexual, my job is simply to sodomize mediocrity. I am terrified and horrified and shocked that anyone would mention Phish in any article related to me."

'I'm like Sly from the Family Stone. I'm all about smiling and good times and white teeth. It was a very natural show and the people that didn?t like it can suck my dick. They got the full fucking set of emotional fucking sincere whiny white people music. And then they got fucking 'My Sharona' as interpreted by Faust. It was like a death trance.'
