Kozelek and Patton? If I was to collect a Tarantino-ish gang of bad muthafackers that also could sing, say for a Netflix series about a team of badass musicians doing some heavy badassery, I'd probably start with those two.
Swish is a mobile payment service, http://www.swishme.com, that's very popular in Sweden, everyone uses it to send money between friends. Share a cab? I pay, you swish me your part.
Not sure if that helps Kanye though.
Hey, I'm going! Third year in a row, the last two years has been great but this year, damn, the line-up announcement almost made me cry. Titus, Destroyer, Beach Slang, Dungen, Tame Impala, AnCo, Thee Oh Sees, White Reaper, Sheer Mag, Car Seat Headrest, Sigúr Ros, Alex G, Royal Headache etc etc...... and BRIAN EFFING WILSON PLAYING PET SOUNDS?
You should really feel sorry for me though because I'll surely be having nightmares until then about all the schedule clashes that are bound to happen...
My list was kind of full of different stuff than the others but if I'd just pick one I'd go for Pet Symmetry - Pets Hounds. Catchy power-poppish emo. https://petsymmetryband.bandcamp.com/
Not an instant classic but hey, 2016 FTW! A new album by Teenage Fanclub AND one by Nada Surf!? And of course that means they'll both tour. Ah, this is too good, bad news will probably follow soon.

Left out but could be in on another day: My Morning Jacket, Father John Misty, Hot Chip, The Sidekicks, PWR BTTM, FIDLAR, Toro y Moi, Desaparecidos, The Good Life and... Speedy Ortiz. Yeah, I know, I suck for not including more women in there. :( Also, another day - another order. But you all know that.
The Thee Oh Sees album is not on Spotify, might be why it doesn't get the love it deserves. I saw them live twice this year at the Primavera festival, first at the festival site and then at the after party on a club. The club one is on my top 10 fave gigs ever list (that I still have to compile..) and I'm old, seen "everything" and nothing really should get me that excited anymore. The two drummer setting really worked well with the new songs.
Atari Teenage Fanclub Riot. Am I doing this right? Okay, one more then: ABC/DC. There's probably already a mashup out there.
Damn, now they just keep on coming: Built Toto Spill. Jon Bon Iver. Red Beach House Painters. Sun Kil Moonface. Spork (that's Spoon and... well I'm sure there's a band called Fork somewhere out there). Say Lou Lou Barlow. I'll stop while I'm still winning.
YESYESYESYES. I love this album, gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. Would've been album of the year if it wasn't for that little thing Titus dropped.
Some weeks ago me, the wife and a bunch of our kids was at an empty beach, my phone playing the new Destroyer through a bluetooth speaker, when I accidently put my elbow on the phone and the screen broke and became unusable. Destroyer kept playing though and we stayed at that beach for the whole day, it was probably the best day of the summer, and Poison Season was the perfect soundtrack. Although a bit short, it felt like Dan Bejar was singing about Times Square that whole day. Even so, that album kicks most other albums asses, including everything else released this week.
A problem can be that all their other stuff sounds bleak in comparison but if you don't like Zebra, you won't like anything by Beach House. Also, there's probably something wrong with you and you might wanna have that checked.

Wtf when I first read it, it said 10/10. So either you can edit posts now or my vision is blurring. Clearly it most be the latter because the first would be stupid. Then people like me wouldn't make COMPLETE ASSHOLES of themselves in front of all mankind and that wouldn't be any fun.
It's illegal to use weed so I guess that's why they drugtested him. How they should've proved he'd done it in Sweden I'm not sure of. This is probably one of the last countries that'll legalize marijuana, it's a heavy drug to Swedes. Alcohol, on the other hand, is consumed at large. You can't really discuss it here without being looked at as if you were a colombian drug lord.
Of course they can dress however they like but, yeah, Taylor's shorts combined with the garter belt thingies? Really? And why did Lorde borrow a pair of Kevin Smith's jorts?
This is just wonderful news for the whole world to enjoy! If you need more Gustav Ejstes before the album is released, check out Swedish indie supergroup (that's what Swedish media calls them) Amason: http://amasonband.com/
Actually, this one, not linked from Spotify themselves, seem to be free: http://routenote.com. So it looks like I'm wrong then. I'll give you this one, Michael, but one day... [embedd funny Arya Stark gif to make everyone forget the fact that I probably was wrong]
