For once, I agree with Kanye

What's the time? 10 to 9...
Throughout December it felt like there would be no new music ever again, and we would have to make do with Alexandra Burke and Jeff Buckley. But now it's January and there's so many new songs, albums and bands hurtling themselves towards me that I don't know where to start. Actually, I do know. With the new Peter Bjorn & John offering, which first appeared ('dropped') on Kanye West's blog ('Kanye West's ghostwriter's blog). If you click the link you'll have to scroll down, then scroll down some more. Just keep scrolling, ok?
Seemingly titled Nothing To Worry About, it's a beat-led stomp that doesn't sound as optimistic as the hook suggests. With singing children. If you thought the Swedish trio flooked it on Young Folks, you now have to admit you were wrong. Peter Bjorn & John are officially serious indie band contenders. Yes, Writer's Block is a beautiful album, but how many bands have two beautiful albums in them? Not many.
You may notice from the picture that I've discovered the Brushes palette on Photoshop. So expect to see a lot more of colour burning and flowing stars on this blog. If you're a graphic designer, you might want to look away in embarrassment.
