In this week’s Culture Gabfest, our critics Stephen Metcalf, Dana Stevens, and Julia Turner discuss the return of MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head and then deconstruct the legacy of literary theory. For their final segment, they’re joined by Slate music critic Jody Rosen to determine whether or not indie rock is slowly becoming adult-contemporary Muzak.

Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX - Running
dawnrecorder.org is a music blog written by a few dudes. We do the hard work and gather an eclectic mix of top-notch tracks and package them all nicely for you. No genre limitations here— we just love music.
Jamie XX remixed Gil Scott-Heron‘s 2010 album “I’m New Here“. When I first heard that, I thought “who cares?”. I hadn’t really listened much to either one.
This album isn’t even out yet and it’s an album-of-the-year contender. Holy crap. “Running”, like many of tracks on “We’re New Here” is a heavy head-nodder that would feel just as comfortable up in the club as it would in your headphones at work. Also, as someone who makes music, that bass drum sound kind of gives me a boner.
“We’re New Here” comes out February 22nd. Please, for goodness sake, preorder here.

Animal Collective - My Girls
Luke: Album - Merriweather Post Pavilion. Released January 6th, this is Animal Collective’s eighth studio album. It’s getting a lot of props from critics so I’m posting it. This song features Marcus Ginyard doing the woos, but don’t quote me on that because it’s not true.

Albert Hammond, Jr. - GfC
Luke: Album: ¿Cómo Te Llama?. This is one of my favorites from 2008. Very beat driven, which is more often a good thing for me. This guy plays rhythm guitar for The Strokes.
