Mad new albums

I have picked up some CD's. Way too friggin many but not in a like let's go to a music store and drop a hundred plus bucks but more in a like oh look there's a record store, i can buy three cd's...oh, look there's another, i can buy three more, etc. so let's see what have i listened to so far? the New Built to Spill is kinda good but like needs to grow on me or something. this may sound so typical indie rock but i like their earlier stuff better. oh, no! i said it. i did. anyway also there has been mad amounts of M83. two albums by them out of three. basically i know like five of their songs and i picked up two albums and on the albums i now have like three songs i know from the radio plus like two more i really like and the rest of the albums aren't doing it for me 100%. so there's one more album by them i'm interested in...i'll probably pick it up. M83 is funny because the thing that i really like about them is their samplin' from my bloody valentine and well they have something in common with my bloody valentine- on any given album they have a few AWESOME songs and some others that are like...well...forgettable. anyway i also picked up twin cities by Sun Kil Moon...this is the one where they cover Modest Mouse. It is friggin wild the difference in the songs as played by Modest Mouse and Sun Kil Moon. It's weird because I would like a context-free Sun Kil Moon album that I could appreciate just because they're an awesome band but instead I get this album where they're covering another band I like a lot and it's like I'm comparing the songs to the original all the time. Apparently the Sun Kil Moon guy likes doing entire albums of covers. Like it's his thing or something. Well I've heard what he can write on his own and it's like dude- you write good shit, don't bother with the covers, ok? it's just too much.
