Condemned To Rock N’ Roll ponders MP3 Blogs vs. Music Blogs: Different Purposes?

To which Raptoravatar responds:

MP3 Blogs = Copy & Paste The Band Bio From The Press Kit

Music Blogs = restate 40%-60% of said bio, add 2-5 puns, snark as needed, add insightful comment if you are feeling frisky

That being said, ahem. Brooklyn underdogs Oxford Collapse have a new record called BITS; their second for Sub Pop (and fourth overall). They’ve always had a distinctly ’80s college-rock vibe, and an obvious infatuation with the old school SST sound, but on the new record, their sound gets a bit thicker; a bit more fleshed out. I guess you could say they’ve let the restraining walls of their sound collapse, and are now starting to explore a wider range. I like this new material, although I secretly hope they don’t stray *too far* from their core sound, lest they get drafted into the “What The Hell Have You Done To Your Music?!? Club” recently founded by My Morning Jacket.
