Going back to the TCD and LR comparisons, I was up all night (as my fucking annoying presence in this comment section highlights) listening to all of his non-808's albums (I didn't have enough time, but I would have).

I'm sure that Pitchfork would absolutely block a 10.0 from happening if they didn't want it to. In fact…

They almost had M.I.A. on "Drive Slow," you know.

If it doesn't, it's because of a split vote.

I love that one, but it's no "everything sounds like noise."

I love the fuck out of it, but I'm pretty weirded out by the acclaim it's getting. I think it's fair to say at this point that it's the most immediately acclaimed new release in at least ten years.

I always hated the term "rockist."

Nathan Rabin is a prophet. He needs not listen to know.

Forgot about that one. Good memory.

Elton John: I TRIED TO TELL YoU CUZ ALL I COuLD Say IS OH

i honestly was expecting maybe an A+ just as a reflection of the reviewing insanity

No, but I've heard her referred to as "the British chick in 'Dark Fantasy.'"

Jay-Z outshines Kanye on "Monster?"

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was more recent than Source Tags And Codes.

On my radio show last week, I put a sample of maniacal laughter on top of the first minute of the song "Age Of Adz." Probably one of the spookiest things I've heard.
