Tame Impala Let It Happen . . .

. . ., only longer and more 'lectronic. It's not your older sister's (or your younger self's) TI, but it's the same creator and same voice, and that's good. You'll see in the widgeted comments an interesting variety of sentiments, some of which you just might share. We tend to agree with the guitarophiles, but we certainly wouldn't post the song if we didn't like it.

Tame Impala - Apocalypse Dreams

We fully realize this one appeared all over the blogosphere in early July, and to widespread ebullitions of gleeee, including our own. We certainly grabbed it then and selfishly squirreled it away for secret listening experiences. Do we feel guilty? Always, but we've dealt with it privately and find our hearts amazingly tame (though we are not impalas.) Our horns have been raised and tootin' for these Perth Aussies since we first heard them at Rollo & Grady's back in early '10, and we are well psyched about Lonerism, their sophomore effort, due out on John Lennon's birthday (one day earlier in Europe and four days earlier in Oz).
