That is a fair point. I think we all know that about Dave. But I still think it seems weirdly unfriendly that Craig isn't even in the studio to watch the musicians or comedians that perform on his show - they just tape them separately and then edit them after his taped intro.
I liked this album when it came out. I still like it now. But nice that Stereogum can have it both ways with the positive review when it came out, and a negative review here. I look forward to another review of the album in another 6 months, when you guys deem the album "Kinda OK!"
But it's nice to see Olivia Munn branching out from being the worst part of The Daily Show to the worst part of NBC comedies*
*not including Outsourced, which is not a comedy.
I wasn't crazy about "Discoverer" (it sounded too much like a "Turn You Inside Out" redux to me) but I like this song a lot. I also enjoy the concept of an album having a "trailer."
I agree they were sloppy at Pitchfork, though when they played Chicago again in September they sounded fantastic and looked to be having a blast. I also watched the webcast of them playing at Matador21 a couple weeks after that and it was a total disaster, so basically they were vintage Pavement again.
I thought it was taken from that college kid's terrible interview with Patton Oswalt, wasn't it? Or am I remembering wrong? Is Videogum just claiming ownership of the term after that interview? It all seems very weird to me.
