Also, I'd just like to point out that I decided to post this my exact comment before I came in here and noticed I would be "first". I was going to change it to "initial" but whatever.

I love Distortion and I fucking love 69 Love Songs, so I was just wondering if anyone had the same opinion as my friend.

Man, 2010 is so killer for music. It's just incredible. If everything is as good as I'm predicting, and I'm being pessimistic for the most part, it's going to be the best year for music, ever. 1997, 1984, 1977, and 1969: eat your hearts out.

Dreadful Sorry
The first time I ever heard Los Campesinos!, I thought Eddie Argos was singing.

Of the four great new albums this week…
I'm surprised that this one got the highest grade from you guys. I really would have expected any of the other three to get better marks.

Shit.
The Magnetic Fields, Los Campesinos!, Four Tet, and Beach House? This is just a great week.

Glad to see this get a good review.
I really like Realism, but to my surprise one of my friends really, really hated Distortion. Was anyone else in that boat? Could you, um, explain yourselves?

(I am "The Might Head of The A.V. Club". "The Might Head Of The A.V. Club" is me.)

NATHAN RABIN THIS IS THE MIGHT HEAD OF THE A.V. CLUB

Hospice is the saddest fucking thing ever.
It fucks me up a little whenever I hear it.

Can't we get Paul Westerberg, Bob Dylan, or Craig Finn to do this? I love Prince, but man.

The half man always has been referring to Jon Cryer.

Youtube poops are the highest form of comedy.

Man, I really need to watch the first three seasons again, because I feel like it a lot after that clip show. Usually I'm cynical and not particularly affected by onscreen romances, but Jim and Pam is something else.

I fucking love One For The Cutters. Shit, I take back what I said about Kubler's presence on Stay Positive being better, they worked in equal measure.

The kid's all the shaking up we need. I really feel like that'll make things way more interesting.

Yeah.
Even clips of Jim and Pam in seasons two and three still fucking get me.

Before the first commercial break, this episode looked like it was straight outta season two.

Dude, Stuck Between Stations is also my number one most played.

I agree that the Kubler tunes are better than the Nicolay tunes on Stay Positive (my second favorite THS after BAGIA), but this news really ruined my day. His backing vocals are especially going to be missed by me.
