http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ2f60fGLHQ see what i mean?
compared to their previous albums, and especially their first two, this is absolutely pussified. not to say it's bad. but i feel like if Ceremony the in 2008 met Ceremony in 2012, these new guys would get their asses beat.
does this have a b side?
if this is folk music, i have absolutely no idea what folk music is.
it was just a bad idea to use ebay. that's all there is to it.
can he count as absent when he's in ODDSAC?
this is a lot like A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall by Bob Dylan. a lot like it.
Coldplay suck, Taylor Swift sucks. no excuse.
i don't know if commenting nine days late is a party foul or something, but Phil Collins, Tom Petty, and Weezer are pretty useless.
then you come to this site for the wrong reasons. there're plenty of boring blogs you can read.
i actually used to love Cold War Kids, and i would attack you for saying they should tour with Jack Johnson if that weren't the kind of thing i say all the time.
you used the wrong "its". also, it doesn't matter how much time she spent crafting it and designing it so that people would react a certain way. because in the end it's a shitty cover. and sure part of being an artist is making something that might not be classically beautiful. but there's a difference between something that's so ugly it's beautiful and something that just looks shitty, like the cover of Steely Dan's Can't Buy A Thrill. it's just crap.
saying 'There is a new (ish) design aesthetic heralded as "the new ugly."' is not defense of this album cover. it's just pointing out a classification that may apply to it. it doesn't defend the cover, because it doesn't say anything about how good the cover looks. you haven't really made a point. other than that thing about music not being static anymore. well, itunes can't use GIFs as album artwork, so even on the digital front we're shit out of luck, huh?
honestly, this guy has become one of my favorite things about stereogum. i really hope he never leaves.
people need to start capitalizing The xx right.
shut up internet, Joanna Newsom is hot.
i love you, blogmaster.
