Summer Cleaning

Back in action I guess, hopefully for good. It's been a while since I've cared to update here, probably because of the lack of comments and lack of new music or whatever.

BUT I've been starting to recommend music almost daily at http://www.twitter.com/theaudio and I've been extremely active in finding new music. This summer's had me hitting a huge range of influences, from folk to electro to straight alt-rock, so hopefully I can coordinate a post or something with every Recommended Audio.

Recommend me to your friends pleaseee! I'm working on changing this default template and maybe Branding myself a bit. It'll be a lot of work, and I picked the WRONG week to start. But it'll all be worth it in the end.

Today's Recommended Audio is LCD Soundsystem's "Dance Yrself Clean," a song I couldn't be happier with right now. It satisfies all my cravings for dance and electro music, and somehow also manages to find a ear-pleasing lyrical melody as well. And there's like one random scream in there, nothing crazy, but brings the whole thing together for me. LCD Soundsystem's new album This Is Happening was my major spin for the day, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a solid energetic soundtrack for your summer.

On a side note, I don't know where the trend for spelling "your" as "yr" began to hit big, but NYC-based Kevin Devine does it too, so maybe it's just some New Yrk thing I just don't get.

I actually wonder about the whole "your" as "Yr" thing, and I found this blog on this search. My best guess is that it's a reference to Sonic Youth (As in Kill Yr Idols, Expressway to Yr Skull), but I have no clue.
