i love bandcamp so much of late, so much of my listening comes directly from there. am kind of surprised how much of the stuff on their list i already knew about/loved that i _didn't_ get to through bandcamp, though!
having said that:
"The thing about dark magic is that it really isn’t something to trifle with, not something you can achieve with a couple of crystals from Urban Outfitters, a Stevie Nicks album, a leather corset, a smudge stick and a change to your Twitter handle."
this is false and i have the photos to prove it.

Arabrot is a headscratch record... feels like a contrarian statement to have that one on 1 but hey the rest of the list is good and at last I see an indie-focused list without that painfully average Car Head Seatrest album.

<3 Doran and the gang but this happened with Grumbling Fur a few years ago and appears to be based largely on friendship with the band in question. Which is probably fine, these bands often require a boost, although I've not liked either record myself.

I couldn't get in to that Bees album. Think someone on the Spiritualized thread said something along the lines of it being the best thing Jason Pierce had been involved in and whilst it was nice enough, it was nothing that I particularly wanted to listen to repeatedly.
