Spotify has been RAPED by my good self today.
This is what happens when the iPod decides it dislikes you.
So I felt the need to share the worthwhile experiences.

Currently listening to - Discovery.
Discovery being Vampire Weekend's keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot's lead singer Wes Miles.
The album, 'LP' takes using synths to a whole new level, and from the sounds of it they've had fun on production duties...
Included on the album is a Discovery-ed version of Ra Ra Riot's album track 'Can You Tell', oh-so-cleverly re-titled 'Can You Discover?', and, seeming very fitting (or not-so dependent on your view) given the day that's in it, a cover of Jackson 5's (oh yes) 'I Want You Back'.

Now, I was quite a fan of this little pairing's efforts, and the album, in places at least, is enough to make you get up and have a dance. But, the synths get a little bit too much sometimes...

Verdict: Worth I listen, but one to be kept on shuffle...

(And no, I'm not watching Jacko's funeral...)
