Spoon, Transference
The fact that this is the first self-produced Spoon album was a surprise to me. They've always been so ridiculously full of sound-purpose and sound-awareness. As you might expect, it sounds just as good as anything they've paid some dude with a massive beard and a concerned look on his face to record.
Mozipedia: The Encyclopaedia of Morrissey and the Smiths
I used to despise Morrissey. I don't know what it was but he really got under my skin. Perhaps it was the chin, I don't know, but I couldn't stand the sight of him. Of course, the more I ignored him the closer he got; I was wasting my time. Now I'm one his biggest gayest fans. I even know people who've touched him.

Description:
How much do you cringe at the words 'avant-garde' and well, 'rock'? 'Avant-garde' makes me think of malnourished wankers dressed entirely in black (including sunglasses), standing around getting all huffy about genericism and the norm. And 'rock' just makes me remember trying to weave through all the AC/DC turds performing mass exodus at Central Station last weekend.

Something OLD. Smudge. Quintessential 90s Sydney indie band. They sound exactly how you think they sound... Probably better, actually. Something NEW. The Laurels. Absolutely gorgeous psych-rock kids, seem a little odd on the indie bill but not at all unappreciated. Something BORROWED.
