I am big fan of pop music. I like the idea of a well crafted song spanning a few minutes, catchy and accessible. I really enjoy Gnarles Barkley and basically everything Danger Mouse has had his hands in, The Black Key's album "Attack and Release", the Grey Album mixing Jay Z and the Beattles, Gorillaz "Demon Days" and even Beck's "Modern Guilt" album. His new project with James Mercer, lead singer of The Shins, has me really excited. They are called Broken Bells. Check out the link to hear their song "High Road". The moving pink orb is a great added feature of the website, it's Otis's favorite.
Another great pop band, Spoon releases their new one in a few days called Transference. NPR is streaming the whole album here. Its sparse like their early stuff.
Finally, Vampire Weekend came out with their latest "Contra". Here is a video of them on Pitchfork. It is very similar to their first album which is very catchy and and great to wash dishes to.
