Although I don't care for the way this was handled by Dead Oceans, I still encourage all y'all to go out and buy this album for the artists' sake. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Some of these albums may be 128 and 160, and for that I apologize.

However, as strange of a selection that these albums are, I feel all are under-appreciated.

I strongly suggest all of 'em.

Too cool that this is on the internet.

Hope to start uploading fresh albums from our future year soon enough.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH (reup'd)

160 rip.

Don't complain!

P.S. This album is mindblowing. Download immediately.

For christmas today, I got some clothes, some money, a new martin guitar, but most impotantly, a low quality leak of this wonderful album.

Kate: I got a Wii and am having much more fun with it than I am with the new AC. Anybody have some good games to recommend?

Christmas Megapost!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our christmas present to you has been delayed a bit. Last night my mom fell and broke her ankle & Kate and I haven't quite had the time to get everything uploaded that we need to in order to post the links to our favorite albums.

However, tomorrow night, I'm hoping to have every album that we plan to uploaded done.

It's sort of like your gift is still in the mail, you know?

However, at least we can tell you what's coming!

To create our "Top 25 of 2008", both Henry and I made a list of our own top 25 first. 1st place received 25 points, 2nd - 24, 3rd - 23, and so on. We put our lists together, adding up the points each received to get our overall top 25. (There were some ties). I personally think this method was more complex than necessary, but Henry was set to do it. So, here it is:

I suppose it was stupid on my part to post anything released on a Major.

On a related note, any artist, label, hell, even music fan, can request ANY download content removed. I, in no way, am unwilling to comply to requests for removal. My goal for this blog is not to help people steal music, it's instead to share music. The same way people take their friends to different restaurants you know? You take them there so that if they like it, they'll start going there and maybe take some friends of their own. I try the hardest any broke college student can to support artists and pay legitimately for music, but I also understand where musicians are coming from.

It's okay though, TYT will live on as long as we aren't shut down completely by blogger.

And even though I don't necessarily like how this situation was handled, a label's action shouldn't reflect an artist's view. I say, if you are able, go out and buy the new Erykah Badu. It's such a sick record. The song Soldier is one of the best tracks I've heard this year.

But most importantly support all of your favorite artists. I try to attend a concert or two a month and I try to buy around two or three albums every month too. Lastly, I just wanna say that Blogger was also really cool with how they handled this and I greatly appreciate their hosting. Without it we'd be nothing!

I believe in you

Bon Iver covering Talk Talk's I Believe in You from the Spirit of Eden LP.

It's nearing the end of the year, and as always, every person on the internet who thinks their opinion matters is going about making their top ten lists for 2008. However, we here at TYT aren't just going to tell you about who came out the strongest this year, we're going to share with you the strongest (In our opinions.) I've already got my top 25 list, and Kate's still working on hers, but once we get all the votes calculated, we will start on the christmas megapost of albums. We will also have a top five list of EPs, I believe, that I'll try to get up as a christmas eve present or something. We'll see.

I hate to bore y'all with news posts and all, but I hope this is exciting for a change. I added links to both Kate and I's facebooks to the bottom of the page, in case you want to contact either of us. I also encourage you to add either of us as friends via last.fm if ya like what we listen to. If you have anything you want to hear or have anything to say to us, you can either leave a comment, comment in the comment box, or contact me by email.

On an unrelated note, if anyone out there has a blog they'd like posted in a new bloglinks section on here, feel free to leave a comment. I try to keep a good list of links on here so that this can sort of be a blog hub, for people who don't want 500 bookmarks. It doesn't necessarily have to be a music blog, but it should preferably be an active blog.

I'm off to study for finals week. Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season (only 11 days until christmas! & eight days until hanukkah! & 12 days until kwanzaa!)

If you want more I also have:
All albums, and I plan on uploading Spirit of Eden eventually, it's my favorite of their records, though very heavily contested with this one as far as being the 'best.'

I know I say to try out most everything on here, but I personally dare you to take a listen to this album and see what happens. Upon only one listening of this album, I went out and bought it the next day. Then I went out and bought Spirit of Eden. I can't recommend this band enough. Mark Hollis was the future of music, but for some reason he was not embraced.
