Deafhaven is just NOT for me. I tried to give that one song a chance from the Pitchfork rate, I listened to a touch of their new album earlier in the year... I can't do it.
I remember seeing Catfish on prezli's (or someone's) year-end a lot so I should check them out. I was really digging that first song you posted. Algiers in particular also seems interesting. Gotta check it out too!
Uhm, The Clippers >>>> Lakers though One is a team with Grandpa Kobe and his useless grandchildren and one is a decent team with Deandre Jordan who is hysterical
And yes of course I would pick The Holiest Day because I am not deaf and recognize that it is the best song of the album
