I was willing to hear Phair’s opinion, I still have respect for her, but did she really have to use an emoticon in an opinion piece? Is that some kind of anarcho-feminist shit-stirring, to take on the male grammar establishment?
I thought Elizabeth Taylor was dead.
This was a decent performance, I was kinda rooting for her, but I still don’t get the persona. Having a persona is fine, being a singer who’s actually more of an actress is fine too, but she needs to figure out what the persona actually is and stick with it. For now, the contradictory messages and the flimsiness of the album make her sound unprepared. And having such a big media machine push an unprepared girl in this way makes me uncomfortable. I kinda feel bad for her.
And really, Stereogum, are you Gawker now? Paparazzi pictures? It’s like this girl is finally allowing you to scratch the trashy itch that’s been bothering you for months.
How could I stay mad at a Ween avatar?
Movement. Think about it.

Yr Starbuck’s a Sucker
Neither, Loder did mastering.
Good point though. It was actually recorded by Albini’s old friend Iain Burgess, in part if Burgess’s studio in France. But Albini probably still had more control on the recording than anyone else in the room.
Seriously though: Helmet’s “Meantime”. A genuine watershed of an album, even if Helmet didn’t end up aging particularly well.
Now let’s do the same list, but for Bob Weston.
No love for Weiland’s “Happy in Galoshes”?
Albini only recorded Comfort, not Fantastic Planet.
Or is that… Ease Down the Throat?
I See a Dark Roast?
There could be a top 10 of Gwar members that don’t play anything. Sexecutioner, Sleazy P. Martini, Slymenstra Hymen, Gor-Gor, or anyone from their army of onstage slaves.
If tambourines and maracas don’t count as playing something, I guess we could also count Martin Swope.
But really my first thought was Public Enemy’s Professor Griff and S1W.
Come on, I’m sure you can find a more whimsical way to express that, can’t you?
Like, “You’re gloomy in the gut-a-roni”. That’s just off the top of my head.
Tom could wager that. He’d probably lose, but he can wager.
This is quintessential Shins. Hearing a Band of Horses influence means Tom probably never gave Mercer and co much ear time before.
I’m not thumbing down the sentiment, but I’m definitely thumbing down the use of “jazzed in the ol’ pantaloons”.
Fever was not The Bee Gees’ reinvention – that was “Mr Natural” – but I can’t think of a single act that ever had this tremendous a success 10 years into their career.
Paired with The Clash, that album is about the best way to define 1977.
Huh…
I know they’re very unhip calls, but :
Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath
and
Saturday Night Fever by The Bee-Gee’s.
What, no top 10 of “Indie’s power couples” or “Indie rock’s most eligible bachelors”?
Yes, goddammit, yes.
I gotta admit I truly would’ve enjoyed this in 1998.
I believe Mr Knut’s reaction is not directed against hip hop in general, just against mediocrity. There’s quite a gap between dismissing Wacka Flocka and believing hip hop isn’t music.
The Quietus put it on their list, a list I thoroughly endorse.
The Egyptian sun-goddess doesn’t approve of being eclipsed. This was supposed to be an event where people positively unite in awe of Her.
