oh and 5. Spiritualized

i guess they really don’t give a fuck about American indie rock … pavement, built to spill, superchunk, etc.
oh well

there is a song from the Clash’s first album.

This sounds like Rebecca Black after her first joint.
“We have fun we have fun we have fun when we please”

is this a Mylo Xyloto bonus track?

Not everything Dangermouse turns to gold, a lot of it turns to shit: “The Odd Couple,” “Attack and Release,” “Modern Guilt” and “Broken Bells” are all either one of the weaker efforts or downright worst efforts by the central artists involved.

Yeah, I love the Black keys, but there is nothing special about Aurbach’s guitar playing.
Totally agree about McCready and White, though.

Shouldn’t Paste’s folk-leaning brand be the biggest reason why the Civil Wars should be nowhere near this fucking list? It’s tantamount to a hip-hop publication listing Kraeshawn’s bullshit as some of the year’s best work. Shouldn’t Paste have at least a modicum of expertise?
The Civil Wars make me ill. Buy some fucking standards Paste, not every Rye Whiskey Washboard band has to get press just because they bought an old hat.

Drake is the least charismatic MC ever, he just sound bored by his own forced introspection, “uh, i have to rap about myself, ugh”
The only time he has any personality is when he’s borrowing a Kanye pronunciation

Abbey Road

Joan Cusack

it actually kind of sounds the way an acoustic guitar does when it’s sent through a bunch of effects pedals and/or recorded through a shitty mic and preamp. But it’s hard to tell.

TRL was not a “good music” show. That was the last pathetic dying breath of videos on the channel. I still watched it…
