Actually, turn off the sound and cut out the shots of the musicians and it's not bad. But this song is so bad, from songwriting to overproduction, it could turn people into climate deniers just from its badness.

It's their worst by a country mile. I'm not sure what they were thinking with this, but I think if they'd taken their standard 3 years between albums they could have written some more decent songs and pushed half of these onto the cutting-room floor.

Rule #1: Never read article comments or your Twitter feed, if you're even halfway famous or have a shred of personality.

It is if you know what to expect going in. And with Deerhunter you absolutely, positively should.

Knowing what I know and actually having seen Deerhunter live, I would only be disappointed if the show DIDN'T go off the rails. It actually sounds pretty epic, and I understand that "epic" is played out, so I'm using it in its actual meaning.

Macklemore clearly supports shopping in thrift stores and riding mopeds instead of SUVs, and thus is clearly un-American. If those parents knew he supports equal rights, they'd REALLY be upset!

Numbers are SO '90s... http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9464-shine-on/ The days of reviews like this are long gone (although Jet got kind of hosed in order for the reviewer to be clever), so an "exit strategy" was kind of a foregone conclusion.

Dammit. What I said about making “wanna c my really face?” my catchphrase? Now I can't decide between that and "and you won to suck."

Almost forgot the difference in front windshields - that glass is two sheets, laminated with plastic to prevent a rain of glass on the driver (and ensuing accident) if a truck kicks up a rock on the freeway. That's why your insurance company is happy to fix rock pits free so that it doesn't have to spring for the ungodly price of full replacement if they turn into cracks.

Tempered glass shatters wonderfully, as many people with tempered glass coffee tables can tell you. It's made to break into "pebbles" instead of pointy shards, but if you hit it with force in the right spot (the more focused the contact, the less force it takes - that's the principle behind auto escape tools) it will most certainly create a rain of glass bits.

Or...it can start something new. (Do you think ANYONE of different parties are going to work together in the post-Obama climate? The GOP burned one huge-ass bridge over the past 7 years.) I hate "socialism" just like I hate "capitalism." I hate any dogma that compels you to vote a straight ticket. There's hardly anything that isn't much more nuanced than any political label can cover. Which is why I swallow my tongue over what passes for "conservatism" while I have just as little patience for "Occupy." What voting for Sanders WILL do is convince others to break from the pack. Might that create a new party, with new dogma? Sure, but it beats the dogma we're seeing right now.

Basically I read "when you're hanging out with guys who are already a little rapey," and pretty much nodded my head at whatever came after. Of course she could have elected not to hang around with rapey guys at all, but I'm the last person who's going to cry "shame" on someone who still obviously has victim's guilt.

I disagree with your disagreement. I know it's very Twitter-age to look at every word and become the ultimate public judge of what is sincere and what isn't, but stop already. The appropriate format for an apology is What I Did + Why I Did It + It Was Unacceptable Regardless + What I'm Doing So It Doesn't Happen Again. The only thing missing is What I Did, which everyone knows and he's publicly admitted before. And it seems like not taking him at his word and believing his apology to be "as gross as they come" actually is why his "we" is correct. It doesn't matter if you think that's fair, it's what is.

"Reduced to insurance posturing"?? I'm hoping that's a joke. Our pay-to-play medical system harms people in a very real, personal way. No feel-good comment at the end of a concert can erase the fact that if Dick Dale stops performing, he won't get treatment he needs.

Seriously. It seems like every week there's a new GoFundMe for a friend, friend of a friend, or a local musician with a medical problem with a large attached financial burden. Some of them aren't coming close to meeting their bills. I will never, ever vote for any politician who believes that this is the way America should work.

Yes, the curious case of "Hey Ya": When it turns up within earshot, there's no escaping its charms, yet you don't really ever seek it out.

Why have a rivalry at all? Wouldn't it be awesome if they could work together? If anything, it doesn't remind me of any rap beef - it's more like Brandon Flowers before he grew up. Won't affect how much I like the music though - on a scale of Andrew WK-to-Morrissey, this is tiny potatoes.

Unless Chicago also already applied this tax to cable TV, it's NOT just "clarifying the application of existing laws." Of course, they might have done that, but something makes me doubt it.

Exclusivity makes me NOT use a service. Tidal seems so based on exclusivity that I can't imagine ever signing on there. I already own every Prince album worth a damn, so this doesn't really affect me, but let the guy figure this out. After making no money on Tidal for a while, his stuff will quietly come back everywhere.
