Seriously. I demand (DEMAND!) to see the rest of this interview.

When I saw her in Seattle about a month ago she performed a song by motherfuckin' The Pop Group (http://www.allmusic.com/art… ). I seriously find the rocking the fuck out just as good as, if not even better than her usual pop stuff. I kinda want her to just go nuts on her next album, if only to hear what it sounds

"If the Red Hot Chili Peppers acoustically covered the 12 worst Primus songs for Starbucks, it would still be (slightly) better than this."

Did anybody else have to read the second paragraph of this review like five fucking times before they understood what was going on in this film?

WIBBLY-WOBBLY TIMEY-WIMEY DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

The Hunter is a meandering prog album? The hell? Blood Mountain was a proggier album than this.

Mostly I'm curious about the passage of time from where Kvothe currently is in the story to the "present day". I mean, he's not even 18 yet in his story. How old was he when he started the Waystone? 30? Late twenties? Much younger? I dunno, he certainly seems to have aged a whole lot. It seems like a shitton of ground

I completely get a lot of the love for Kanye's album — when it's on, it's some of the best hip-hop I've heard. Granted, that's not much, but the fact that I dig some of it as much as I do says something about what it has accomplished. Songs like POWER are going to get a lot of people interested in the genre that

The lack of Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me is a really really big oversight in my eyes.

I heard that that was the All Delighted People EP, but I really have no idea.

Waitin' For a Superman by the Flaming Lips has gotten me before. The end of Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is pretty potent as well. You wouldn't think a choir of buzzing bagpipe-sounding things could raise emotions like that, but surprise surprise.

*rimshot*

"that "if you don't know, i'm not gonna tell you, & shame on you for asking" thing some places do"

As someone raised in New York state at an honest-to-god pretty damn good public school, I was amazed by the mandatory state tests. The way the curve worked, for the basic tests (stuff like science basics, algebra) it was literally harder to fail than it was to pass. And yet our entire curriculum was based around the

Best place to start with Swans, IMO, is the Swans Are Dead double live album. Entire thing fucking kills and provides a pretty nice encapsulation of their career. It's unbelievable how many modern bands you can hear in their music.

On a scale of 11 to Fucking Amazing, Boris receives a solid Face Melter.

I was pretty young when I first saw the Flaming Lips — it was when they were opening / playing back up for Beck. (by pretty young I mean not even in my teens) It was one of my favorite childhood memories.

The third act…
…is the hardest to pull off.

I'm liking 2010 quite a bit, but I honestly liked 2009 quite a bit more. Then again, 2009 was a better year for me in general, so who knows?
