This is the list of full-length albums, EPs, demos, etc that I listened to during this past month of March 2011. I must make the preliminary note that this month’s playlist was dominated by artists that will be performing at this year’s Bonnaroo Festival, as I have been getting myself accustomed to as much of their respective discographys before June. That explains a lot of the choices that may appear out of character with my usual musical inclinations.

NOTES
- The Arcade Fire really is that damn good
- The Arcade Fire really is that damn good
- Fuck yeah on Kylesa, I don’t know why I didn’t get into them earlier
- DeVotchKa blows my fuckin mind; as does STS9
- I love you Wanda Jackson
- We all had a good time listening to Pretty Lights
- Scissor Sisters are just not my thing. Nor are Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. Neither is Eminem.
- Gogol Bordello is cool and everything but they can get kinda annoying too; same thing goes for Foxy Shazam
- Larry & His Flask holds it down
- “Warp Rider” by The Sword was probably the best metal album of 2010
- Yeah I’m on the Dance Gavin Dance bandwagon too
- I can’t believe Sleigh Bells has the guitarist from when Poison The Well was badass, small world…
- Phosphorescent is like the most boring band I’ve ever fucking heard
- I know, I know, I listen to my own damn demos way too much
- MC Lars fucking sucks
- “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” has been like my favorite album since I think 2nd or 3rd grade
- I really like Deer Tick. Twin Shadow too. I like Junip even more.
- “Spending Loud Night” is the worst EP by Confuse; “Contempt for Authority and Take Off the Lie” the best
- I can’t believe what happened in Japan.
- Calexico + Iron & Wine = gold.
- I feel the same way about both Wiz Khalifa and Chiddy Bang: Whatever.
- Of the various Portugal. The Man albums and EPs I listened to this month, “American Ghetto” was the best
- I really deepened my obsession with “Songs for a Blue Guitar” towards the end of the month here
- Wow, Acacia Strain, at this point I think you’re actively trying to be boring
- Girl Talk: mixing Fugazi with Rihanna is at once offensively blasphemous and hilariously dope. Kudos.
I also saw Real Diamond, Calling Home, The Wicked Willows, Reel Big Fish, Trudgers, Heavy Hawaii, and Dom perform live.
