"Time moves faster when you're loaded." - Phoenix, Summer Days [buy the album]
The editors at The Fader Magazine editorialize this month:
In recent months we've grown more convinced than ever that there's a new music listener in America: you. We see you out there, someone who thinks about hip-hop but doesn't need to wear baggy pants all the time, someone who's into garage rock when it's real and not a major label Next Big Thing fabrication, someone who wants to know more about dancehall patois and production but doesn't need the weirdo homophobia, someone who wants to know what in the hell is going on with music in London right now beyond Dizzee Rascal...You can collect records without being a geek. You can check blogs without living out your fantasies online (well, most of them). You can go to a show without going home with someone in the band. Right now, it's just about the music and you have to have it. Right. Now. All. The. Time.Yes. Exactly that.
