Agreed. I don't think The Killers were ever not subtle.
They lost me at Day & Age but this one is pretty good.
This is basically in reverse chronological order lol
I can almost guarantee that nobody here listened to it AFTER the Pitchfork review went up.
If you're so bored by it then why do you comment on *EVERY* Frank Ocean post?
Judging from your comment history it seems you really hate indie-darling buzz. So why are you even here? We're all here to talk about indie-darling buzz.
This whole thing is great.
You're basically saying Fiona is too good for even positive criticism? Also, It is a good comparison because they are both great albums.
I actually don't hate LDR but not *everything* relates back to her.
'It seems pernicious in the extreme for Del Rey to be so excoriated for this highly common gesture.' Yes.
Yes, but I also mentioned beats, lyric and attitude. Not that an elephant being molested by a chainsaw doesn't have attitude.
The combination of the beats/lyrics/attitude and how off-putting/awkward it is makes this so great. There really isn't anything else that sounds like this, which is what grabbed me. IMHO yall.
Diving is a universal problem. And both leagues are great, why choose?

Surprised not to see Diplo on here. Also feel like Calvin Harris should be richer. Doesn't he write songs for Rihanna now?
Can you really say a band like Animal Collective doesn't continue to be creative despite the fact that their sound has remained the same? They are two completely different things.
Have to agree that Perfume Genius should be on here. It might even be #1 on my list as of now. Santigold is also on my top 5.
If that's what he meant, it's not what he said. "makes me wonder how so many bands are totally fine with sounding exactly like another band."
He probably just doesn't realize how many bands are emulating Beach House.
That was my first thought. It's fine to like what you like and what he said really isn't a big deal, but I doubt he could back up that statement with any examples.
What does that even mean?
I'm not sure why people rag on his ability as a rapper unless you've 'prematurely evaluated' his music. Especially someone that listens to a lot of rap. I think he's a pretty great rapper and actually has stuff to say.. http://youtu.be/RpohPO3ALYQ
Sorry if I misunderstood, but the obvious take away from that comment is that The Weeknd's music is bad.
This entire thread should win This Week's Best Comment.
Ah, gotcha. Agreed on this comment. Trying to combat what you feel are malicious words with more malicious words is pretty lame.
I am the opposite of outraged. Not sure why this reply was directed at me, but I definitely don't feel outrage over the post. I explained very clearly that it is not the best reaction, but it is not hateful and of course it depends on exposure to these types of situations. We're on the same page.
My 2 cents. To everyone backlashing against the backlash here, no one is saying you can't have a reaction as a fan or a reader, etc. No one is saying there isn't any surprise or that "Wow, OK" moment when someone comes out as transgender. It's big news. The issue is more what follows that, and I agree that the double "I guess" comments above (while it's not ignorant/negative/hateful) are not the best.
I think the issue here is more with the "I guess" quip in the post (twice). Being happy for someone having the courage to come out as transgender, ESPECIALLY In the punk/hardcore/metal community is beyond an "i guess." Why does being married with a child make this shocking or unusual? You have to realize that saying that translates to thinking LGBT people are not able to live normal lives.
I was there! And this wasn't even the highlight. The Weeknd is a talented dude.
Johnny Ramone is a fan of The Weeknd cause he has ears.
Unless Burial wants to weigh in, mums the word on anymore LDR Born to Die remixes.
Jack White drove around NYC in a truck all day today. That's all I got. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/04/jack_whites_thi.html
Another one that sounds so much better stripped down.
By your definition, TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix etc. are *not* indie bands. I think we all know that the literal meaning of indie doesn't really apply anymore.
Have you never heard Lana Rey Rey? She's 'pitchy' and lagging behind the piano intentionally. She is supposed to be subdued in the song. Either you like it or you don't.
OH, nicely done.
