Just got home from seeing Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It was absolutely fantastic. Piss Crowns Are Trebled is my absolute favorite piece of music ever made, over classical music, ancient slavic folks music, any other contemporary work or whatever. It's just... the best, and I saw it being played live. It was magical. I honestly almost cried, it was so great. They played the most amazing rendition of Sleep as well. It was sick. I'm half deaf, but it was so *censored*ing amazing.
Man, this year's been good with Joanna, Deafheaven and GY!BE. I'll have a few on my list still, but I'm most excited about Death Grips, Swans and Native Locals later this years.
edit: Royal Nakamura, be *censored*ing jelly. <3
