New Sigur Rós
This little snippet/preview got me all excited for Sigur Rós' new album. Check it over at gorilla vs. bear.
M83 – Saturdays = Youth
As an M83 listener you might be a little disappointed at first that Saturdays = Youth doesn't sound as big or "epic" as Before the Dawn Heals Us. I had that same feeling for half a listen. Like Stereogum says, that shit is plenty epic. Even the P4kers like it, they call it the vertical push ...
Air – “Run”
My favorite Air track, according to Last.fm. MP3: Air - "Run" If you've never heard of the french duo Air, their band name best describes their music..

Minimalism to dream away on... MP3: Dntel - “Rock My Boat (ft. Mia Doi Todd)”
Aphex Twin Mashups & Pet Sounds

Movies
Inception (2010)
Astounding piece of imagination (and not forget sci-fi logic). Nolan is a master at creating suspense and never breaking away from that bomb-rushing moment.
