<p>I&#8217;ve been tempted to post another Sleigh Bells song, but I have finally gotten around to checking out <em>The Suburbs</em> a bit over the past week or two. This YouTube video has been around for three months, so I&#8217;m definitely way behind. Anyone reading this has probably already listened to this song. Oh well. At least I&#8217;m documenting my listening habits with these posts.</p>
<p><em>The Suburbs</em> is a grower, but even after a few listens, I still prefer a bunch of other albums this year &#8212; including the one from the aforementioned Sleigh Bells. Fuck, that album is just too fun. I also still prefer <em>Neon Bible</em>, if only because there&#8217;s a few songs on that album that are just phenomenal, and better than anything on <em>The Suburbs</em> for me. But we&#8217;ll see if it grows on me anymore in the coming months.</p>

<p>Now, I pretty much only listen to rock music, as is probably evident by the songs I have posted on here, but I find most indie &#8220;rock&#8221; bands to be total shit. I usually don&#8217;t even bother checking out any band classified as &#8220;indie rock&#8221; anymore. It&#8217;s almost all the same impotent, whiny, boring garbage. Spoon is a big exception to this personal rule of thumb. I actually had a hard time deciding which of their songs off of their latest album, <em>Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga</em>, to post. I chose this song because you probably have no soul if you don&#8217;t involuntarily move some part of your body to its beat. So unless you don&#8217;t have a soul, I recommend out of rest of the album<em></em>, while I continue checking out the rest of Spoon&#8217;s entire discography.</p>
