New Music Tuesday: Bjork, Casiokids, Andrew Bird and Other Stuff Too!

A lot has happened since last Tuesday... I won 17 TRILLION dollars in the lottery and I now live on the moon in a space bubble made out of the tears of wood elfs. So you can excuse me if I find this weeks list of new albums a little under whelming compared to the last couple of weeks. I guess Bjork is pretty cool and I DO love me some Andrew Bird... maybe I will beam them up here for an impromptu moon concert... Tupac would get a kick out of it I bet!

New Music Tuesday: What Laura Says, Ratatat, The Drums, Ariel Pinks Haunted Graffiti, Blitzen Trapper, Casiokids, Deer Tick

Holy poo poo in the face today is a good day for new releases. First off I am going to mention What Laura Says' new album Bloom Cheek is out today despite the email I got last week that it was pushed to June 22nd, I have been listening to that album for months now and it's still amazing. The rest of my pics are in BOLD N' GOLD after the break, along with all the other pics. Why the bee picture you ask, I have a bee hive in the tree in my backyard and it seamed appropriate.

mp3: Casiokids "Finn Bikkjen!"

I am lovin' me some Casiokids. Try listening to this song and not liking it. It's almost totally impossible! But if I know the internet EVERYTHING is possible. Also fun fact, when they release their new album Topp stemning på lokal bar on 5/28 it will be the first all Norwegian-language pop music ever to be released in the U.S.


Casiokids - "Finn Bikkjen!"

Video: Casiokids "En Vill Hest"

You can always count on Norwegians to come up with some pretty awesome shit. You see they don't have any problems in Norway, they all have tons of money, tons of oil, super awesome human rights and bitchen fjordes. About the only thing they DO have to worry about is the cold, but that just gives them more time to stay inside and be awesome. If you happen to be in Oslo tonight you can catch the Casiokids at Bylarm @ Teltel... whatever the fuck that means.
