Is This It, I agree, but Room on Fire? As much as I like it, a single Kill the Moonlight's already something more. Add to that the rest of Spoon's album, which are far more consistently good than whatever else The Strokes did.

Rock's becoming Jazz. Something that few people attempt to revolutionize these days because they know there's nothing much left to do, so better just looking back and enjoying the work done already.

I've figured that it's not us who lost the grip on indie rock, but indie rock instead is the one losing its importance, while some of us struggle to grasp on music's latest trends.

Consensus is generally towards Sound of Silver being their best album tho, and I sure as hell agree with it. The first one can't even be called an album, it seems more like a compilation of singles (and some b-sides). The second one could land them on this list by itself.

Oh boy, I understand you not liking it, but calling it "generic"? Tell me more about that trend of dense, sample-heavy electronic psych pop, because I seem to have missed it.

Not to mention M83. I mean, jeez.

Oh boy, you should've seen my rant about how critics were misevaluating Empire for that reason. Or not. It's a rant.

Even tho I don't think the show is trying to have a side, there's a point to be made about the show being at least respectful of conservative politics.

For me too! The Americans has become the one TV show I immediately watch once available (and Mad Men, once it comes back). And I hardly ever do that! Just a few days ago I was 5 episodes behind on Better Call Saul and 3 on Shameless, two shows I love. I'm countless episodes behind on Broad City. Not to mention all the…

I think it's hard to rank them so simply. Season 1 was the most consistent of them all, but it's mostly low-key. Season 2 has the highest highs but some serious Jared-faced drawbacks. Season 3 has been shaping to be the one to match S1 thoughtful storytelling with S2 emotional punches, but it's so close to finish with…

I forget it almost every week, it's not really that hard to.

It's better she didn't go off this way, tho. It wouldn't be good in the long run to have this possible homicide looming over the show.

They sound… somewhat off. It made me realize how much of their music is about the control of tension. When to do a full stop, when to blast it all off. And that proves to be a daunting task in the live setting. Unsurprisingly, the songs that sound the better are the more conventional ones, like Matilda for example.

Done Lollapalooza Brazil yesterday. St. Vincent proved she's an amazing musician, but I found the whole "inhuman" act more damaging than positive to her performance. She's great when she's lively, why do that?

Oh boy, she was amazing

Not the same thing exactly, but once I saw a The Terror era Flaming Lips playing for an audience mostly composed of teenage girls and their mothers waiting to see The Killers. Their reactions got pretty funny by the time Coyne broke out the neon baby and started cracking jokes about how funny it would be if a flying…

I'm paying for a whole festival day just to see St. Vincent tomorrow!

Once I attended a festival that went Pavement, then Smashing Pumpkins. I love the first and like the latter, but I left a few minutes after Pavement left the stage because I couldn't stand the Pumpkins' fans. They didn't stop complaining for the entire duration of the day up to that point, like they were entitled to…

I initially thought "Billy Baretti", but maybe that's too big of a role to be randomly offered.

They completely forgot about that storyline, didn't they.
