Please for the sake of humanity listen to these guys.
Made up of Daniel and Fred, (Daniel being a member of the band Grizzly Bear) DOE was formed at NYU during their freshman years. Their new full length release In Ear Park is being released October 7th. I stumbled across these peculiar fellows while perusing Grizzly Bear's myspace page. Low and behold this is my new favorite band...dare I say of 2008?
You know that music that comes at you when you least expect it? Hits all the right notes that make you smile uncontrollably? Department of Eagles.
I'm not a man of too many words, but I can post some links to give you easy access to the goods...enjoy.

All The Saints sign to Touch and Go Records
From an email that my brother Andy got from Touch and Go's Miranda Lange:
ALL THE SAINTS SIGN TO TOUCH AND GO:
"We could not be happier to announce that All the Saints have joined the roster here at Touch and Go Records! The band's scorching debut album Fire On Corridor X will be released in North America digitally on September 9th and on wax November 4th (all formats available in Europe November 3/UK November 17). The cd version of Fire On Corridor X is available now on Killer Pimp Records. Climbing a wall of sound imbued with equal amounts of noise and melody, All the Saints Fire On Corridor X rains down in sonic sheets. The debut full length from this crew may be steeped in a heavy psych/drone tradition, but under the din lay songs that contradict the cacophony. Comprised of singer/guitarist Matt Lambert, bassist/co-vocalist Titus Brown, and drummer Jim Crook, All the Saints is an Atlanta-by-way-of Alabama behemoth, a power trio with wattage to spare. All the Saints will go out on the road with A Place To Bury Strangers for a handful of shows in late October, including a stop at CMJ New Music Marathon. Psychedelic yet direct, raging but tuneful, expect to hear plenty more from All the Saints in the coming months.

Metal time! Armazilla (from ATL) is supposedly formed by an ex-ZZ Top roadie, Weedeater is from Wilmington, NC, and Music Hates You hates you. All of the bands at Tasty World now play the upstairs bar in what is potentially a shoe-in for "the worst idea of 2008" Flagpole music awards category. But this show should rock your ass anyway. Go.

The kids from Olympus Mans and some other dude play in this band that sets words from W.'s speeches to music. So I guess the president is also a member of this band. (He should get writing credits at least). Anyhow, I know this sounds like a dumbass idea but when you read the lyrics to the songs it is fucking scary that our president actually said this shit.

New Jamz Again
It's been about a month so it seemed like time to update the latest stuff we've been listening to. This is mainly for my own good so I don't lose stuff-also I'm the only person who ever reads this so I'm just making a catalouge of my crappy records and I can pretty much say anything I want and no one will ever know.
Shit stacks.
Turds.
See?
Pegasuses-XL-The Antiphon, Harvey Milk-Life...The Best Game In Town, (I guess life went pretty much according to plan minus a few small road blocks) The Vines-Highly Evolved, Thurston Moore-Trees Outside the Academy, The Jesus and Mary Chain-Come On EP, Melvins-Bullhead, Akimbo-Forging Steel and Laying Stone, The Glands-The Glands, Creedence Clearwater Revival-Green River, Black Mountain-In the Future, Refused-This Just Might Be the Truth.
and some vinyl:
Emmylou Harris-Evangeline, The Byrds-Greatest Hits, Wings-Greatest.
Thats it for now. Let me know if you (if there is a "you" at all) know of any good stuff that I need to get. New or otherwise.
Booty.
