irony of ironies - i didn't get the wrens when i checked them out once in high school and once college, but seacaucus clicked for me a few months ago bc i heard it was a more east coast emo guided by voices type sound. so now i am very excited for this aeon station record but assuredly have waited less time that 99.9% of people who care about it. im like someone who discovered loveless on january 1, 2013 or something.

featuring q-tip ... meaning jack is taking one further step into hip hop than he did when he "didn't" (definitely did) rap on ice station zebra on his last record ?
update : cool, this sounds like one of those neil young worship songs that thom perfected on a moon shaped pool, nothing mind blowing but i like angsty thom from the mid 90s just as much as i like romantic thom
i started liking the strokes with 2 songs i downloaded on kazaa and listened to on windows media player.
last year i listened to their new album on a perfectly synchronized skype call with two high school friends.
so ya - the fandom i still have seems pretty crazy given how long its been - but i still love just as much. even comedown machine - which proves i like julian even when he doesnt try
u into the tuss at all ? those2 seem to be a reaction to drukqs bc they are anonymous (or were at the time) and they share the psychosis of drukqs but in a much simpler, shorter fashion
just as exciting to me is the other part of the announcement which is the official release of that Queen Elizabeth bootleg show that everyone on rateyourmusic has been freaking out about for a year.
given the obviously fake beef between kanye and 50 cent when graduation was coming out in 2007, i have assumed this drake beef is completely fake and is a ploy between the two of them to just sell/stream more of their records.

4. is that the song ur referring to ? modern girl ?
5. if so - is the joke that that is a bad choice ? or an obvious one ?
6. or are u mocking their album from last year ? it was pretty good and there are a lot worse choices than “white wooden cross” for song of the summer
7. or is it a joke about the site and its commenters ? i always see them having fun and embracing pop in conversations like these - at least in my experience
8. so, wait, what ?
bought this cd in 2006 from i think virgin megastore in downtown chicago, saw them live with my wife at pitchfork music festival, they had a terrible time slot and were incredible, i think gruff wore a red biker helmet.
wow - after all the portishead rumors this is pretty meh. for context the last one had ween, devo, flying lotus in 3d, conqn mockasin, the locust and temples all in one day
