if you thought her choice in oscar apparel was bad...bjork reveals the artwork for her new album. makes me glad i'm getting most of my music electronically these days.

btw, update on last week's downloads:

panda bear 'person pitch': very much digging this release, much more so than 'young prayer' or even the animal collective's 'feels'. that most of it sounds like brian wilson leading a church choir through a series of joyful ovations in a room down the hall detracts not from its hypnotic yet catchy charms.

besnard lakes 'the besnard lakes are the dark horse': also channel brian wilson but in a different way (more guitar for one). also digging large after only two listens.
