I was so excited when I left Oneonta last Friday! I could barely contain my excitement during the car ride home at the thought of seeing my friends!! I was acting the exact opposite of a dog in a car on his way to the vet!!! However, about twenty minutes before I reached my house I realized after texting several of my friends that no one but I has the luxury of having this week off. So, for the past few days I have had to find ways to occupy my time. With that said I have a few songs, all with running times of 10 minutes or more, for you to listen to if you are in the same boat as me and have a lot of time to kill all by yourself. And don't worry; you are not alone. And yet... you are.
Fuck Buttons- Olympians
Olympians by Fuck Buttons, (am I allowed to say fuck on the Internet?) is by far one of the most epic songs I have heard in a while. Tarot Sport was a sleeper album that caught many listeners and critics off guard in 2009 and for good reason; its really flippin' good. (is that more appropriate?)

Panda Bear- Bro's
I suppose no album can be classified as perfect, except for Person Pitch by Panda Bear. It is so good that to describe it exceeds my limitations of the english language, so I'll just ask you to listen to Bro's instead, please.
Panda Bear- Bros
Panda Bear- Bros
Deerhunter- Calvary Scars/ Aux out
Bradford Cox's vocals are beautifully self-deprecating on this track that starts off slow but picks up speed into a wall of guitar distortion. WARNING: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS SONG IF YOU ARE JESUS BECASUE YOU MAY BE OFFENDED.
Sigur Ros- Svfen-G-Englar
To quote one music journalist "All we first new about Sigur Ros was that they were from Iceland and Radiohead liked them." Sigur Ros (pronounced si-ur rose) have come a long way since 2000 but the first track off of their second studio album Agaetis Byrjun gets me every time with its ambient guitar drone that swallows you whole like a blue whale devouring krill.
Miles Davis and John Coltrane- So What
The only thing better, I'm assuming, than hearing Miles Davis perform So What live is hearing him perform it live with John Coltrane. I stumbled upon this live track on my iPod a few months ago and have been digging it ever since. It's what I'd imagine it would sound like if Zeus and God jammed out for fifteen minutes.
