This coming Tuesday is the date that one of the most anticipated indie albums of 2009 is released. The Dirty Projectors newest album Bitte Orca has been blogged about incessantly for many moon now and the biggest question on my mind before I listened to it was, will it live up to the hype? Upon first listen my answer would have to be yes. Each song on the album is delicately crafted and soothingly draws the listener in. I recommend Bitte Orca to anyone looking for calming pop music that pushes the envelope of song writing just enough to make the album extremely interesting. Check out the full album stream here.
On another more serious note:
Right now the music world is in a rut. The popular music has all become the same formulaic garbage recycled over and over again. The rock music coming out no longer carries the same force that it had in the glory days of Rock N Roll. The down turn in rock music may have caused many to give up. Certain people who shall remain nameless have made extreme claims such as "rock n roll is dead". I scoff at this statement. ROCK N ROLL WILL NEVER DIE. I will admit rock may be bleak right now but one just has to know where to find the rock because I am sure that it lives on and will continue to live on forever. The day in which I can no longer rock the fuck out is the day that I will draw my last breath.

Rocking out,
The person that is remaining nameless would like to say that this album while innovative and original is not really my cup of tea. The odd noises produced mostly likely by music sampling and synthesizer chords throw off the flow of the overall sound, and in my opinion hinder the progressiveness of the album: although, I did hear a lot of songs which were completely bearable and interesting I believe this might be a little off the reservation for my taste.
I would definitely be interested in seeing part of a live show from this band.
Loving on the new collaboration. Rocking out is truly inching closer to blissful, uninterupted, perfected gettin' er done.
All I know how to do.
Agreed, loving d squared action on the blog. BTW. IF I CANNOT ROCK, I CANNOT LIVE. ROCK!
