You should be listening to "The Pelican" by Menomena. First off, you should have already bought Friend and Foe by Menomena. It's probably one of the best albums to have been released this year. It's really gaining momentum for me. I like it more and more with each listen.Regardless, "The Pelican" is a freakin' awesome song. It reminds me of TV on the Radio without sounding derivative of TVotR. Basically, that's a good thing...a really good thing.
Also, this is BY FAR the best album artwork of the year. You really need to see an actual copy of the artwork to appreciate it. A picture really just doesn't do it justice. All those colored spots are on different layers showing through holes in the cover. It's weird but awesome.
**EDIT: An argument could be made that Casadaga by Bright Eyes has the best artwork. That's a good argument to make. However, since the music on Casadaga is utterly disappointing, Friend and Foe wins.
**EDIT: The picture finally works. Isn't it sweet? By the way, the red spots are an inner layer of the booklet and the yellow spots are on the disc itself. The one blue spot and the speech bubble are also on the disc.

too bad that there's nothing there in the box where the album cover should be on my computer. i'm going to have to find it somewhere else.
well...that's too bad...you could look on iTunes or google...that's where I found it.
quit telling me what to do, i shouldn't be listening to the pelican, i should be studying for my final tomorrow. and i was also quite disappointed with not being able to see the art work.
