i was confused by the Best New Artist nom at first because it's not like Bon Iver are exactly /new/ apparently the award stipulates: "for a new artist who releases [...] the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist" marks for effort i guess?? but next time try and submit your homework on time.

I liked the Fleet Foxes album as much as the next person but second best of 2011? i mean it /is/ the second best Fleet Foxes album, but that’s because they only have two.

"Suck It And See finds the Arctic Monkeys especially comfortable in their maturing skin" probably the most remarkable thing for me when I saw them on their curent tour a couple days ago, was that, though it was the 4th time I'd see them, it was the first time I'd ever seen Alex truly comfortable on stage, and that definitely reflected in the music (not only in how they played their newer songs, but also in how they played stuff from their first two albums). I thought the album was fantastic, but yeah, it did take a couple of listens through (that said, 'That's Where You're Wrong' and 'Suck It And See' where instant favourites. so good!!)

"I can't wait til we choose stage names. Which do you think is better: Trevor St. McGoodbody or... DAVID" THIS LINE KILLED ME

yeah for a second there I had thought we had briefly turned into arthistorygum, but then I actually read the rest of the headline

I don't really understand how other people gauge their "favourite movie", but if by that they mean "most watched", "most consistently enjoyable", and "most widely recommended to other people who haven't seen it yet", then 24 Hour Party People, definitely.

the "Probably Forgotten By Now But I'm Streets-behind Like That Videogum Reference": lots and lots of champagne http://i56.tinypic.com/2sai9.gif

I feel like it's the internet's campaign to make me buy a corgi. so cute! http://i52.tinypic.com/27zdh5u.gif

finally have an excuse to post this .gif on videogum http://i55.tinypic.com/2mf1aba.gif the two hours I spent making this are finally vindicated

personally, I prefer the tumblr No One Man Should Have All That Flour: Kanye lyrics rewritten to be about food http://noonemanshouldhaveallthatflour.tumblr.com/

the Donna Darko meme has gotten to the point where I now sometimes think the film is actually called that also, Donna Darko

in all honesty all I can think of when I look at this picture (and let me tell you I've looked at it a lot!) is "I want to go there" when my eyes zoom in on JGL http://i52.tinypic.com/35isz0y.gif

Also! Best Documentary Feature * Exit through the Gift Shop I don't even really care if it wins (okay that's a lie, I kind of really want it to), I just want either Banksy or Thierry Guetta to show up to the ceremony

I feel like the only person who had Balmorhea's "Constellations" and Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore's "Dear Companion" at the top of their 2010 list. both were crazy amazing
