October: a month in which a minor obsession with minimal techno flourishes. Hence Gold Panda (I listened to “You” at least once a day), The Field, more Flying Lotus collabs. Someone buy me the Ninja Tune XX comps please.

Sufjan’s new album is worth a listen or seven.

Brian McBride of Stars of the Lid is keeping the ambient torch lit.

Happy July! I don’t even know what to say about my musical selections for June. I reviewed some albums for Ghettoblaster (Sarah Jaffe), continued to get stoked on the new Hold Steady album, saw David Bazan and mewithoutYou live and crept into a major electronic music phase, which I am currently entrenched in. My monthly playlist for July will be packed with it, don’t you worry.
