This was great.
Also, my favorite track released last year was the Trentemoller remix of Unkle’s “The Answer”. It’s absolutely breathtaking perfection.

I’m listening to it again for the billionth time, and it’s still completely killing me.

Quit playing and tell us who Jeff is!
No need. Just show up at the fairgrounds with enough time to get seats away from the hot dog vendors.
More impressive is how much the camera man sounds like an authentic chorus of Queen backup singers.
This has potential. Garbage made some decent albums back in the day. I credit most of their above par performance to Butch Vig, who is both a member of the band and a long time Producer who stood behind classic albums like Nirvana’s Nevermind and The Smashing Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream. I think we need some rock music these days. Maybe this will give us some of that?
Nailed it.
This is just a perfect performance. The Giants are no doubt fully aware of the tongue in cheek humor of playing “When Will You Die?” on the air for their 30th aniversary. They have outlived the life span of a rock band four times over. And seriously, they will never die. The Johns will play on for ever, because they have built legend within legend like an infinitely unlocking nesting doll.
Impeccable. I love this man’s music so much. In Ear Park is glorious and criminally underrated. I’m so glad he’s putting out some solo tracks, and I am really pleased with the direction the sound seems to be going. Long live Dan Rossen.
Sure. I agree. But “Videogames” is the womb from which she was born. It’s an undeniably “good” song with catchy hooks and a very modern theme of playing videogames with hot chicks that will be impossible for high schoolers and college kids to avoid falling in love with.
For the majority of people, the quality of the music is not of first importance. People want image and they want hooks. Cheesy lyrics poorly sang are quickly forgiven. “Videogames” will sell. A lackluster SNL performance will not stop her from becoming even bigger as the year goes since she is riding on a song like “Videogames”. For better or for worse.
All joking aside. This is still a really amazing song.
It would be great if he said, “He’s Jimmy Fallon”.
And then if the camera panned over and it turned out it was actually Jimmy Fallon. I should write television.
Yeah. It’s definitely edited out, and his mouth seems to agree.
I find I’m more curious what his response was to David to the question about their drummer.
Good showing though. I could see this winning some fans.
Dude…. never tell anyone that you made out with Danny Devito ever again. This is the last time.
You misspelled “weakly”.
I liked the part where the bass player fell down.
Seriously, they should make that a part of their stage act. They should just all fall down at the end of every song.
I like how he says “We are the Mountain Goats”. Great job John.
Yeah. I think she meant “dude”.
You should listen more closely when you talk to your girlfriend I guess.
I would argue that “Eating Paper” is even better than “Wolves at the Door”, and they are two of my favorite songs this year. And the rest of the album is classic Bazan. “Virginia” is beautiful, and perfectly written in mood and lyrics. And just the other day the song “Won’t Let Go” sunk into my brain and I couldn’t turn it off. I listened to it probably 15 times in a row. Great album closer.
Thanks for liking music guys.
I’m sure we could all make a pretty great list of albums that were overlooked this year. I’ll just leave my own personal list here, have my peace, and carry on.
13&God – Own Your Ghost
Future Islands – On The Water
David Bazan – Strange Negotiations
Sam Roberts Band – Collider
Astronautilus – This is Our Science
Fruit Bats – Tripper
Blue Sky Black Death – NOIR
Okay, I feel better now. There’s a lot of really good music out there.
He had the quote correct, though.
“O Kurt Vile, Kurt Vile! wherefore art thou Kurt Vile?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Kaputt.”
I like to imagine that this is the tagline to Braveheart 2.
Apparently, we were born to do a lot of different things: Run, Fly, Roll, Be Somebody, Be Wild, Die, and now Lose, all In the USA!
Not a bad song though.
I don’t hear a lot of hate for her music. People are really just put off by her presentation. It’s not even her that people seem to take issue with; it’s how she is being advertised, and promoted, and how forcefully it is taking place. It invites criticism. In fact, it encourages the love/hate drama. That has become part of the game. The drama and discussion is part of the promotion now.
And really, when you get down to it, most people are indifferent to the whole thing, and are just enjoying the distraction that heckling someone on the internet provides.
Needs more poetry!
Ramona Falls is great, and this song is AMAZING, by the way. High five good sir.
