i like Real Estate’s video for It’s Real a lot better….you know the one with the band playing with all the dogs, frolicking in fields and then all the funny close-ups of the band’s eyes n stuff. man, i love that song!

my guess is they get flooded with new music to review on a daily basis and they just cant get to everything…and again, it’s up to them to review what they want to review, it’s their website. they don’t review non-jam, indie bands all the time. for example, the last we are scientists record didn’t get reviewed on pitchfork. look at other popular indie blogs and there’s plenty of stuff that doesn’t get covered on pitchfork vs. here or wherever. there’s just so much damned music being released all the time.

there’s nothing ‘disgusting’ about it all actually. its their prerogative to cover whatever they want. maybe they feel jam bands are irrelevant in however they define what is relevant. they deliberately stopped reviewing stuff for the sake of bashing it – which is prolly what would happen if they did review a black crowes, string cheese incident, etc record. Although i miss reading the occasional, scathing nickleback track review. good for a laugh, ya know?

good lord josh homme is one funny motherfucker

anyone else hear ace ventura’s dolphin voice at the :53 mark?

thanks! just what i was lookin’ for

i’ve been forcing myself to not listen to a note of this before i get my copy of it, but i just wanna know…ya know how the walkmen can make both the wintriest and summeriest music? – what would you say, if there is one, the seasonal feel to this record?

i went to your place earlier today and read your review of Jeff the Brotherhood’s Sixpack. sounded very similar to stereogum’s review.

to me, it read more incoherent than anything

to be fair, their first 3 records are pretty solid. but then they decided to ditch everything they had going for them on that shit sandwich, ‘Everyday’ and they lost me. i cant stand DMB as they are today cuz the music’s gone to complete shit but almost more so because of the absolute cult they’ve amassed which is populated by those frat boys you described and other such people who refuse to acknowledge that they should just hang it up already.

same here. Francis Florentine is the mad note

i think you forgot to type the word ‘what’

agreed, although i saw him open for the strokes in ’02 and it was terrible. literally booed off the stage.
