This was a funky month for music. I saw The Antlers and Minus the Bear and Vampire Weekend live, so those were obvious adds. Jay-Z and Oceana put out great videos for “Empire State of Mind” and “The Family Disease,” respectively. And a box set of the entire works of Buddy Holly, flaws and all, came out last week. Not bad, not bad.
- The Antlers – “Thirteen” (Hospice)
- Minus the Bear – “Knights” (Planet of Ice)
- Julian Casablancas – “Out of the Blue” (Phrazes for the Young)
- The Drive-By Truckers – “The Three Great Alabama Icons” (Southern Rock Opera)
- Floating Action – “50 Lashes” (Floating Action)
- Burial – “Fostercare” (5: Five Years of Hyperdub)
- Oceana – “The Family Disease” (Birth.Eater)
- Bellwether – “Miss You Twice” (7&6)
- The Mountain Goats – “Against Pollution” (We Shall All Be Healed)
- Vampire Weekend – “Horchata”
- Jay-Z – “Empire State of Mind” (The Blueprint 3)
- The High Strung – “Standing at the Door of Self Discovery” (Ode to the Inverse of the Dude)
- The Hold Steady – “Slapped Actress” (Stay Positive)
