We All Want Someone To Shout For

Today’s date is April 23rd. Merriweather Post Pavillion leaked online on Christmas day, and officially released on January 6th. We are creeping up at the halfway point of 2009, and MPP is still my #1 album. There are other contenders (Grizzly Bear, The Antlers, Phoenix) but time will tell how they will hold up. Like pretty much any other music fan I have been obsessing over the “hot” tracks. I have practically been living off of ‘My Girls’, ‘Brothersport’, ‘Into The Flowers’, ‘Summertime Clothes’, and ‘Bluish’. However recently I have been drawn back into ‘Taste’ one of my least played tracks for the album. The melodies won’t leave my head, and I realized it is slowly becoming one of my favorite songs off the album. It is funny how that works.

If you check out this stripped down version that they did for la blogotheque you may have a new admiration for it. It really brings out the best parts of the songs. The lyrics really jumped out at me after watching/hearing the version they did for the Take Away show.
