Best New Music: Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (II)

I saw them about 2 years ago opening for Metric. I thought they had something quite interesting if they took a slight bit of the edge off. This album does more than that. They move slightly more to the pop spectrum bringing in some disco and shoegaze influences. Strong album overall. Looking forward to what they do next.

Highlights:

  • Baptism
  • Empathy
  • Vietnam
  • Pap Smear

Best New Music: Japandroids - Post-Nothing

I'm going back and posting my favorites of this year. Japandroids' Post-Nothing is one of my favorite albums of the year. A great summer album, it just has that excitement of youth "Summer of '69" feel to all their songs. Great Indie Rock!

Highlights:
  • The Boys are Leaving Town
  • Young Hearts Spark Fire
  • Wet Hair
  • Heart Sweats

Constantly Learning, Fearlessly Doing


Passionate about technology start-ups (especially at the intersection of social, mobile, and game technologies), I am currently exploring the large corporate world by helping a $4 billion multi-national improve their innovation strategy.
In my spare time, I try to find the best indie music bands to supplement my massive music collection and share with my friends.
