Hey, at least they’re getting laid.

I agree, Zooropa is very underrated.
And Achtung Baby would have been a great record to use for your stereogum tribute series. (is this it was cool too)

Titus Andronicus, No Age, Bass Drums of Death, White Denim, Crocodiles, The Horror, Ty Segall.

So, which one do you think is bad Brandon?

say what you will about chill-wave, but it does make great make-out music.

why is “irrelevant” the latest dismissive buzz-term anyway? it doesn’t mean anything! I mean, relevant to who or what exactly? relevant to mainstream culture? this is an indie music blog, after all. I’m sure her fans find her ‘relevant’.
It’s like the term ‘FAIL’ as it’s used these days. it’s a quick shorthand way for someone to say they disapprove, but without any thought or consideration.
get off my lawn, you damn kids!

Kinda feel like Okkervil River’s ‘I Am Very Far’ deserves a mention in there. and by ‘kinda’, i mean, really.
Also, where’s Lykke Li? Timber Timbre’s album is fantastic. to name a few.

while we’re at it, I would say that Date with the Night, while a great song, is a little too gritty or harsh to be considered for a ‘summer song’. opinions.

fair enough.

Is “children’s hospital” a funny show? I don’t know! But as long as that clown is in my face, I will steer clear of this blog! AAARRRAAAGGGhH! I hate that clown!

the three of these I listened to sound nothing like radiohead. the “sunday bloody sunday” one is definitely U2 singing their own song. In fact, it’s their Live from Sarajevo version from the “if god will send his angels” single.

I’m not saying there aren’t other more high-energy performances out there. but “most boring eva”? I’m just saying, this one is fine.
