I think people tend to say Agaetis Byrjun or ( ) - I go for the latter but they're both brilliant. The former might be a better starting point though.

I know some people have termed this as 'return to form', but I thought they never lost it to start with. I liked the last two albums (even if they weren't at the heights of Agaetis Byrjun-( )-Takk, which is a stunning run of albums), and this new one forms an interesting counterpoint to last year's ambient-oriented…

I need to find time to hear this (obviously *points to avatar*). There can't be many acts where about 90% of their career can seemingly be divided between fantastic records and truly awful ones.

Oh, be quiet and hurry up with my damn croissants.

I don't start analysing his lyrics, problem solved.

''This is Kanye saying "I don't give a fuck about anything and I'll make the album that I want to make."'

Dear Hollywood producers - don't listen to this guy!

Haven't listened to Yeezus yet, but:

Eric Roberts? Though I guess he was never a leading man.

Yeah but this is Ross we're talking about.

Nah that was at least a bit funny as she's just winding him up. Far worse is the one where she thinks the cat is her dead mother or something, and when Ross tries to point out how daft that is, he's the one made to look stupid.

Looking forward to the article on Elephant in almost a year, it's one of my favourites of the 2000s, but usually winds up in lists of Worst Palme d'Or Winners ever - someone else out there must still really like that film right? Right?!

Looks good to me. I'm guessing we won't get any Sherlock jokes when Bilbo meets Smaug though, which is a shame.

It's getting better than simply 'good' reviews:

On a further note, I Am Very Far has some of my favourite ever opening lines to any album: 'We watch the sun switching in the sky, off and on, where our friend stands bleeding on the late summer lawn, a slicked back bloody black gunshot to the head. He has fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.’

Sounds good to me, I thought their last album was somewhat underrated. Not sure they'll ever top Black Sheep Boy, but still a great band.

'I…am…your singing telegram!'

*obligatory blame Apatow's films post*

Er…Some Like It Hot?!

Someone find Rose Byrne some good movie roles please (she wasn't really in The Place Beyond the Pines enough for that to count).
