Alternately: even after moving West for a fresh start, Daniel Pantaleo couldn't help but revert to his old ways.
Idunno, man. Anyone who puts Bieber in a chokehold is doing the Lord's work.
Uh-oh, Jay is gonna send the BeyHive after Mumford and Lily Allen. Hope you like having your Instagram and Facebook pages flooded with 200,000 comments from semiliterate, emoji-addicted teenagers, y'all.
Fagen has a history of writing impishly trollish bullshit, so take all of this with a small boulder of salt.
I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was with the last two I&W albums, and I LOVED "The Shepherd's Dog" even more than the first two.
This would've been really awesome in 2008.
I think I've got a song title. FWIW I had a very similar experience around that age, except it also involved me ditching a set of friends who were into that stuff. I was a dick at 15.
There aren't many things that bring me more joy than seeing John Darnielle have his moment in the sun. I got on board with TMG with The Sunset Tree, which makes me a dilettante by comparison with his boombox-era fans, and it's been a delight to sit back as he cranks out album after killer album.
This sounds like '80s Bryan Ferry, which is a DAMN GOOD THING.
"He's got the American Dream now, what he always wanted, messin' with those white women." --Twenty-something black dude, talking on the phone, inbound BART Dublin/Pleasanton Line between Bay Fair and San Leandro, sometime in 2012
Gaye's 31 years in the ground now. The fact that our intellectual property regime allows the holders of his copyrights to continue to profit from his work this long after his death is ridiculous. They have had ample opportunity to earn money from his work and put it into other investments to ensure their financial security. We don't tolerate this shit with patents, and we shouldn't tolerate it with copyright either. It shouldn't take this long for cultural products to enter the public domain.
Pimping a butterfly is the American dream? Idunno about that. According to the gentleman I overheard on BART a while back, I'm pretty sure messing with white women is the real American dream.
The "Dude, fix your fucking FACE!" part of "Vanilla Sky" is arguably his greatest moment on film.

Meh, I'm sure Ira from Yo La Tengo could kick his ass at Seinfeld trivia. Probably wouldn't say "fookin'" quite so endearingly, though.
Dudes I know have been using it for a good ten years now, but Kozelek sent it to the next level. I love it.
Maybe RTJ can do that hip-hop remix of "Richard Ramirez Died of Natural Causes Today" that I've been wanting to hear for a year now.
When we say "'90s-tinged indie rock," you're talking about the stuff informed more by grunge and classic college rock than any sort of post-rock revival, right? 'Cuz I sure as hell haven't seen the latter.
